Latest on Lebanon

Israel have implemented a full naval and air blockade of Lebanon. There has been talk of taking out the highway that links Beirut with Damascus.

The Lebanese government said 53 Lebanese had died since Wednesday, including one family of 10 and another of 7 in the southern village of Dweir. More than 103 have been wounded.

Senior Israeli officials said that the military had been freed up to cut off Lebanon, permanently drive Hezbollah forces back from the border, and punish the government for not upholding a United Nations directive to disarm and control the group.

Israel’s military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, warned that “nothing is safe” in Lebanon and that Beirut itself, especially Hezbollah offices and strongholds in southern Beirut, would be a target.

Hezbollah fired more than 120 Katyusha rockets and mortar shells into Israel on Thursday, Israeli officials said. The barrage killed a woman on her balcony in Nahariya, killed a man in Safed, and wounded more than 100 other Israelis in some 20 towns and villages, including Haifa, Safed and Carmiel. Hezbollah said it was using a new rocket, the “Thunder 1,” more advanced than the standard Katyusha, which does not have enough range to reach the 30 miles between Haifa and the border.

Thousands of Israelis in the north spent the night in bomb shelters as Hezbollah warned that Israeli attacks on southern Beirut would be met by rocket attacks on Haifa, a port city of 250,000 people 18 miles from the international border. Thursday evening, two rockets landed near the city’s Stella Maris Church.

The rapid surge in fighting on a second front, two weeks after Israel entered Gaza to try to secure the release of another captured soldier, alarmed Arab and Western governments and drove up the price of oil.

The European Union criticized Israel on Thursday for “the disproportionate use of force” in Lebanon “in response to attacks by Hezbollah on Israel,” according to a statement issued by the current Finnish presidency. It said that “the imposition of an air and sea blockade on Lebanon cannot be justified.”

      Why is the world numb about the atrocities of these Israeli bastards? When is this stupidity going to stop? Lets expose the Rothschild’s financiers who have paid fake counterfeit money to these Military firms, lets find out where these people live and go at them, these are the real swine’s, who have created perpetual wars, all Wars for 200 years and still are doing it. A 1000-mile radius from Kabul in Afghanistan and 1000 mile radius from Baghdad is saturated by Depleted Uranium, all of Israel, Greece, Armenia, North of New Delhi is 100% saturated with DU.

      Are you people Mad you swine’s, you already have deformed kids because you intermarry your cousins and blood relations in pure incest? You are the lowest of the low, People of the world, we are far more than these few bastard Money speculators, gamblers, usurers, thieves, plunderers, and no good Israeli Rothschild’s Khazar blood letters who have started Male Genital Mutilation in Circumcisions and then blamed circumcision on the Egyptians, when it was they that started maiming helpless infants on the 8th day in Brit Milah…

      Mahatma Gandhi wrote “If we want real peace, we must begin with the children” and Karl Menninger wrote “What we do to children they will do to society” Ladies and Gentlemen of the world, look who is killing each other, the Circumcised Americans (these Khazar AshkeNAZI Jews started circumcision on this planet) the Jews and Muslims. All these “Monotheistic” religions divide people. Listen to John Lennon’s song IMAGINE, “and no religion too”

      End of discussion…

      Arrest these bastards you soldiers that have been brainwashed by these Jewish fascists. It was these Jewish “Donmegh” Crypto Jews disguised as Turks that massacred a Million and a half Armenians…my blood and gut people and most Armenians have been brainwashed into believing it was the Turks?

      WAKE UP

      These bastards caused 911, these buildings (twin towers) came down in 9.9 seconds and WTC building 7, a 47 storey building came down at 5:20pm, that day, in 6.06 seconds and was NOT hit by a plane, any debris and had two tiny fires on the 6th and 12 floors only visible on the north side of the building, and Larry Silverstein, the greedy swine actually inadvertently blurted out that he had the building “pulled” You see there is too much proof that 911 was done by the Mossad and the “Dancing Israeli’s” who were high fiving each other and taking video, how did they know to be doing that, this was no co-incidence, and then they were conveniently let go, so were 150 mossad agents posing as art students sent back to Israel! You idiots the cat is out of the bag, they used 911 to attack Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Lebanon and Syria and Iran…Stop these mad bastards….

      I have two good friends in Lebanon, Vanessa and Hany Haaj, Vanessa is half Mexican and half Irish, and Hany is Lebanese Christian, they had left California for Mexico, could’nt make it there and went back to Hany’s folk in Lebanon, and now they are stuck there, in grave danger. I am very worried…Hany if you are reading this email me!! You have my email…
