Mark this date on your calendars, folks.

It is already on Jewish calendars. 17 Tammuz.

http://www.torah.org/learning/yomtov/3weeks/

The fast days of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av, and the time between them, commemorate the tragic process of the destruction of the two Holy Temples in Jerusalem. The fast of the 17th of Tammuz, the day of the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem, marks the beginning of the Three Weeks".

The fast of the 9th of Av, commemorates the day of the actual destruction by fire of the Holy Temple, and is the last day of the Three Weeks. The three weeks is a period of mourning over these destructions. The Three Weeks, for the year 5765 / 2004-2005, begin on July 24, 2005 (17th of Tammuz), and continue through August 14, 2005 (9th of Av).

And Clark Kent and Superman are never together either.....hmmmm

I never could figure that out. Superman moves at superspeed, he should be able to create the illursion of being in one spot simultaneiously with Clark Kent.

Hezbollah has its own TV network? Somehow I don't see it being "fair and balanced."

>>I just hope the US gives them free reign to finish this problem off once and for all<<

I doubt the Israelis are looking to us for permission to do whatever is necessary. In fact, the President's recent comments suggest approval, tacit though it may be.

Could it be that our Commander-in-Chief has now just about had it with wars by proxy? Whether it is the agents of Iran and Syria or the mad midget of North Korea, we may be witnessing a major shift in U.S. policy.

Lay in some food and uncomtaminated H²O.

Thanks for your thoughts, angcat. Watching this news from my desk all day has certainly kept my mind off of my dad. It has deepened the cold pit in my stomach as well, however. Im sure you all would agree with that.

Syria got the message when this started, and the president got his beach house overflown by Israeli warplanes, Now if they have an ounce of G2 they will stay out of it,(which is not going to happen, and hopefully they will have their a$$es handed to them.

Mark this date on your calendars, folks.

On the Jewish calendar, today is the 17th of Tammuz, known as the anniversary of the destruction of the Temple (First and Second) as well as the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. I'd forgotten that until I saw another thread elsewhere. G-d bless and keep the Jewish people!

I'm sure they do know where they were fired from, but as for who fired them . . . ? Like i said, Iranian special forces were reported to have been deployed to the Israeli northern border some months ago and seeing as Iran is the supplier of the missiles with the range to hit Hafia . . . All i'm saying is maybe Hizbullah didn't do this

I see your point now, that area of the world is always so complicated to me. It seems the biggest question is - who is Hezbollah?

Yes, they do. Israelis hit it this morning but didn't knock it out.

Another Katyusha Hits Haifa, Two Injured
21:11 Jul 13, '06 / 17 Tammuz 5766

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=107269
(IsraelNN.com) Another Katyusha rocket struck Haifa several minutes ago. Two people were lightly injured from the previous attack in the city and on nearby Kiryat Ata.

Looks as if another rocket hit Hafia

It is a shame that Lebanon, which is largely Christian, but with a large radical Islamofascist populus, is, by its geography, a place where the fascists come in and stage their criminal behavior. Israel has no option but to respond with force. I think there is no dowbt that Iran is the promoter and financier of these despicable acts and Syria allows its territory to transfer arms, explosives,personel. This will get a lot uglier before it gets better. And the killing could stop now if they turned over 3 abducted people who were doing their job in their homeland country. Therefore I conclude that Iran is trying to provoke a war with Israel and pull in as many Islamic countries as possible.
