Israeli Air Force jets dropped tens of thousands of these fliers over Lebanon on Saturday: "To the Lebanese people: Know this!!! From the front a friend and from the back a snake!"

From De Borchgrave reported on Newsmax:

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/7/11/135700.shtml

"The bomb that knocked out Gaza's principal power station plunged half of Gaza's 1.3 million into darkness with no potable water or ventilation in the 105-degree daytime heat. It also stopped electric water pumps and sewage disposal systems.

Taken prisoner from their homes at night were 64 elected Hamas parliamentarians, including eight Cabinet ministers."

Now this is what I was talking about!

On both of the fronts on which Israel has been drawn into heavy fighting, its enemies can make no legitimate claim to be pursuing a territorial dispute: as of last summer, Israel relinquished its hold on the Gaza Strip; in Lebanon, it pulled back to the UN-certified international border six years ago.

Except that, in both cases, the Jewish state's assailants are indeed pursuing a territorial ambition - to unseat Israel from its own sovereign lands.

Israel has watched Hizbullah build up its offensive capability in the years since the security zone was dismantled - watched it, ever bolder, establishing its positions up against the border fence and saw it developing its missile capability - and chose not to act. That stance was misinterpreted as weakness.

Looks like they're figuring it out now....the hard way!
