“The reality, Ted, is that you have no concern for Australians at risk in Lebanon.”
Well said, Ifran. My question is, why are you wasting your time and energies in
Trying to change Ted Lapkin’s point of view, or change of heart. He has no heart!
I doubt he has any empathy or compassion for any one else bar himself.
I was curious about Zionists and Jewish and what the connection, or difference by
the old ‘copy/paste method and found
http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/ web or blog, which is self explanatory. I am still spewing
Over the Israeli Bull Dozer driving straight over poor Rachael Corrie! They have killed
off a few more innocence since & continue on & on..

Even Bush's loyal allies are beginning to waver over Israel's liberal attempt to strangle a country that (Yes) does contain an active terrorist group.

In support of Scout's Alert (I earlier mentioned this major development as a comment on Antony's excellent current OLO article http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=4706 ;-)

Around 12 hours ago:

"Britain last night dramatically broke ranks with George Bush over the Lebanon crisis, publicly criticising Israel's military tactics and urging the Americans to 'understand' the price being paid by ordinary Lebanese civilians.

The remarks, made in Beirut by the Foreign Office Minister, Kim Howells, were the first public criticism by Britain of Israel's military campaign, and placed it at odds with Washington's strong support.

The Observer can ALSO REVEAL that Tony Blair voiced deep concern about the escalating violence during a private telephone conversation with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, last week. ."

Hopefully the rightwingers, Zionists and congenital anti Muslims in this string have been caught wrongfooted ;-)

Tony Blair needs the votes of a large Muslim community in the UK to retain his position, George Bush does not.

"The right to self-defence is the crux of the Middle East crisis. It has been almost a year since Israel removed its troops and citizens from Gaza. And what have the Palestinians done with their new-found liberty? Rather than focus on the construction of their own society, the Palestinians elected a Hamas Government that is dedicated to the destruction of Israel."

You are obviously a 'Whore of Israel'. You know, those people who would bendover to be royally screwed...but only if it's kosher sausage right?

Jew/American policy is doing nothing but making living conditions worse. Israel is doing everything possible to make life hard for non-Jews with ordinary jews shooting Palestinian children for a sport.

Do you believe that destroying a whole nation is a reasonable offensive, then you, the writer, hold ideals that only feeds Terrorism. This terrorism is feeding in these nations, not ours so don't take a higher point of view.

This kidnapping of 'Israeli Soldiers' does NOT equal the extermination of a people.

Israel is today's Nazi State.

Allowing a religious fanatic and his militia to 'guard' the border with Israel demonstrates Lebanon's willingness to start a war with Israel. That being so, they deserve whatever comes. If the voters of Lebanon seek to return such a government then it will happen again and again, ad nauseum.

Unity, determination and superior firepower is always going to win.

The old Veitnamese trick utilised so well by Hizbollah, being guerilla warfare, only works when the person you seek to bleed is in a country where the population does not support them as an occupier. Israel has already pulled out of Lebanon and Gaza, which means that they can strike hard, fast and without remorse every single time they are attacked.

The Israeli army has no real wish to invade Lebanon, just to make sure the Lebanese (& Palestinians) see no way to profit from hitting them. Punitive raids have long succeeded in the Middle East, Israel has tried to be civilised, it is seen as weakness, and causes their enemies to attack them. Back to the old ways, hit my village, I will destroy yours.

Don't like it, what a shock.

Inshallah
