Israel has 'specific information' soldiers will be sent to Iran

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Friday, July 14, 2006 JERUSALEM — Iran plans to take two Israeli soldiers abducted by Hizbullah.

Israeli officials said Hizbullah intends to transfer the Israeli soldiers captured on July 12 to Iran. They said the transfer would ensure that Israel could not win the release of the soldiers through military means.

"We also have specific information that Hizbullah is planning to transfer the kidnapped soldiers to Iran," Foreign Minister deputy director-general Gideon Meir told a briefing on Thursday. Hours later, Iran denied that it wants the abducted Israeli soldiers, Middle East Newsline reported. An Iranian spokesman said the Israeli charge indicated the panic of the Jewish state.

Meir said Iran has been coordinating with Hizbullah and Syria in the current crisis along the Israeli-Lebanese border. He said Iran provides "funding, weapons, and directives" to Hizbullah.

Israel has assessed that at least one Israeli soldier abducted by Hizbullah was transferred to Iran. The soldier was identified as Ron Arad, an air navigator captured after he bailed out of his downed F-4 fighter-jet over southern Lebanon in 1986.

Israel has already threatened to assassinate Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah as well as other leaders of the organization. Officials said Nasrallah and his senior aides would no longer be immune from Israeli attack. At the same time, officials said the Cabinet appeared divided over launching a ground force operation in Lebanon.

"Nasrallah wants to be the landlord of the Middle East," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said. "It is us against Hizbullah, Iran and Syria."

"conservative Catholic filmmaker in Hollywood"?

How do you support yourself? LOL. Do you have a day job?

Just kidding.

What part of my cliche ridden cliches did you think were cliche ridden?

I lived in LA for 17 years and had friends in "the business" (don't we all?) and yes, there are many hard working and disciplined film makers and crew. But there are still too many predictable knee jerk "liberals" there affecting the course and direction of American culture.

Please keep trying to enlighten and change them. Get back to me when you've done this.

"The problem being that there are only about 6 million Jews, mostly in Israel, and there are 600 million Muslims all over the world."

I may be wrong, but I think your figures are incorrect. I believe that there are slightly less than 13 million Jews remaining in the world and aligned against them are 1.8 billion Muslims and cretinous, backward, primitive, stuck in the 7th century Islamofascists.

I'll try to keep it as clean as possible. Iran is baiting Israel and the West. They upped the ante by introducing high tech missiles into this encounter. Israel has given Syria 72 hours to return the soldiers and stop this war. My feeling is that Iran has done this to offset their response to the deadline the UN has given them.
They have screwed up because they are leaving Syria hung out to dry. If Syria does not respond Israel will attack. If Iran enters the conflict, the US and Israel will fight Syria and Iran. Iran is not ready to build a nuclear bomb. Even if they have one now they won't use it.

"If you haven't seen this site already, you need to"

This is Ibn Warraq's site. He is the author of Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out. AMERICA AT WAR is listed in this work (hat-tip to Leapfrog) in the "Sites Critical of Islam" area under appendices. Interesting reading—depressing, but interesting.

The fury of the American people represented here at Free Republic at the idea of these Israeli soldiers being taken to Iran, it is justified. May the Holy One of Israel, under the auspices of the Armies of Israel, reborn in the IDF, continue to rain down furiously upon the heads of those that would destroy the Jewish Nation and peoples from the earth. May these men be delivered and their families comforted. May America and Israel continue to prevail in all points, militarily, culturally, politically, and spiritually, against this cult of death and its violent totalitarian worldview.

Oh I do hope so. It would mean that they are alive, which is somewhat doubtful at best. It would also mean Hezbollah could not return them and thus that the Israelis could continue pounding the snot out of Hezbollah.

Iran farts in our general direction. They know we're pussies.

Others have made that same mistake. The Japanese for instance, and to a lessor extent the German Nazis.

[garjog]

"the two kidnapped soldiers will be taken to Iran."

Don't you get the feeling that Iran is trying to cause Israel to attack them? Maybe they have covertly developed a nuke or two are need an excuse for their final solution?

[El Gato]

it's almost as though Iran is BEGGING for war.

They are. Their "imperious leader" and several of the Angry Ayatollahs that put him there, think they can bring on the coming of the 13th Imam, by starting Armageddon. Imperious Leader may even fancy himself as the 13th Imam.

Thanks for the correction.

I have said it many times before and I will repeat, if it is in I-Ran it is for sale, that countries population is so poor that they don't need garbage trucks, if you dump your rubbish on the street within 5 minutes their will be women and kids fighting to get lasts weeks moldy bread, it is ready to implode, maybe this is the time. They even have to import 1/3 of there drinking water, and no prizes to the one who guesses were the money goes.

Nope, parading POW's in front of cameras is forbidden by the Geneva Convention.

[ghostkatz]

But brutally beheading captured American soldiers and vidiotaping the barbaric act for world distribution is quite OK? What the H--- do the Islamofacsists pigs care what Geneva Convention says? We all know that the most vile wicked thing you can do to a non-American prisoner is stick ladies' undies on their heads. No crueler act can be committed. You were being funny, right?

[bluefish]

If this pans out, and the kidnapped soldiers are paraded before TV in Iran...

Perhaps more in America will remember a little incident between the US and Iran dating back to the late 70s.

Remember, the lunatic leader of Iran right now happens to have been one of scum parading OUR embassy personnel. Maybe he is getting nostalgic for the glory days.

[capitalist229]

NO one- including the Israelis, Iran or Syria could have predicted the way this has played out so far...

The comparisons to WWI and the ArchDuke are appropriate IMO.

At this point, a single spark could send us spiraling into a general conflagration beyond the proxies, ie Israel and Hezbollah, who are not the primary players.

W knows where this is going.

Next Televiv, then the end game in Jerusalem between the US, Iran, China and Russia.

BUMP

[Convert from ECUSA]

What I think if those Hezbollah heathens and that Haman in Iran?...............Well, lets just say you've known me long enough to know exactly what I think of them, and you know it involves a lot of colorful expressions!

[PsyOp]

Ahmadinejad's goal is to hasten the return of the 12th Imam.

I say drop a nuke down the well in Qum where the little Shite is supposed to be hiding till his return. Then lets see what Ahmadinejad has to say about that.
