Prayers for Jerusalem. They're making sure to hit holy sites as well, it seems... Safed, now Tiberias. Israel is too decent to wipe the Dome/mosque out.

Isn't Tripoli in Libya? Or is this a different Tripoli. Or am I geographically challenged.

At any rate, why northern Lebanon? Is there something there (or somebody) they want to target?

Arab Foreign Ministers Meet in Cairo

Jul 15, 4:39 AM (ET)

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Arab foreign ministers held an emergency summit in Cairo on Saturday over Israel's expanding assault on Lebanon - the worst Israeli attack on its neighbor in 24 years.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh presented his fellow Arab League members with a draft resolution condemning Israel's military offensive and supporting Lebanon's "right to resist occupation by all legitimate means."

The draft, a copy of which obtained by The Associated Press, also said the Arab League demanded the release of Lebanese captives and detainees in Israeli prisons, and supported Lebanon's right to "liberate them by all legitimate means."

hi guys...Sofalad is fine..he called this morning, luckily before I had turned on the TV. Tiberius WAS hit...3 rockets...the last of which hit the hotel next door.

They were having lunch at the time, and were herded into the bunker...he said that he grabbed a piece of paper and began writing down everything that was happening. The kid should be a reporter..to him it's a great adventure.

They've pulled them out of Tiberius now and are going to Tel Aviv...which he's quite happy about because they have a lot of beer in Tel Aviv...how bad ccan a place be when there are so many pubs to "donate" to..

To everyone, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your concern and your prayers. The fact that I can put this to "paper", addressed to FRiends who worry and pray for us, is such an enormous comfort.

I've said this before, you lot really do keep me sane...although sanity is such a relative term...

Oh look! A shiny thing! ;-)

Thank you my FRiends...things seem to be heating up even more, and I will be monitoring the news and staying online as much as possible today.

In the interim, G-d Bless you all...

"speaking of Wolf - I stood next to him once in a crowded bar in DC while waiting to be seated for dinner."


Was he wearing his gas mask or was it just attached to his belt?

Is anyone watching CNN? They are talking about how the garbage is piling up in Gaza. Oh the humanity! They are also having an outbreak of rats! One lady in Gaza had a rat jump on her table. LOL Like it took the Israelis campaign in Gaza to bring out the rats.

Then the only thing I can conclude from this release is they aren't serious in wanting this conflict to win. If they were, they'd press Hezzbolah to return the two Israeli soldiers. It would be over instanaeously.

So, instead, they just want to use it to swipe at Israel, even if that means dead Arabs.

I can't imagine that turkey wants to get pulled into this by allowing Iranian flyovers.

The reporter doesn't ask this Pal that he's now interviewing a stinkin' thing about Hamas continual launching of rockets into Israel. "So there you have it, the Palestinians really do want peace." BARF
