This is not a surprise. I'm quite disturbed with Israel's disproportional response.

This is the problem with modern notions of war. When someone commits an act of war against you, there is no such thing as a disproportionate response. The appropriate response is to render them incapable of continuing the war.

The notion that a nation will be held at bay because of the worries of a "disproportionate response" is what allows these attacks to be mounted. The attacker does not need to fear that he will be destroyed. He can attack, the attacked will be restrained, and he can hit again another day.

Trying to hold an attacked nation to "an appropriate response" just encourages aggression.

Shalom.

Israel technically also counts as goyim.

;)

The word just means "nations". Or, if you're using the latin root explanation "clans".

So, CNBC, what are the GPS coordinates of the cross-border operation? And, while you're at it, what's the frequency, Kenneth?

Here are some interesting images. The first is of a broken store front window with a photo of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah. The store is located in South Beirut. A city that was sold out by the national government that was taken over by Syria and Hezbollah. Symbolic isn't it.

The other photo is of what used to be the Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut. After it was targeted by Israeli air strikes. [More Photos?] Now just smoking ruins.

That was my point...their pending invasion is not exactly a secret...maybe I shouldn't have used the word "just" like it was breaking news or something.

If and when they go in they will kick ass and take no prisoners.

Well, did a whole nation leak this in unison or was it just the whole democrat party?

Unfortunately, you are probably right. They also have that network of underground tunnels and bunkers where they can hide. And who knows what kind of weapons they have buried?

Yeah, hopefully, the re-discovery of the Peckham published in the Telegraph will re-awaken them.

Dateline London June 2, 1944.

Exclusive to the NY Times

A unnamed source in Eisenhower's Allied Command indicated the much anticipated Allied invasion of northern Europe is only days away. It is anticipated the attack will be in the Normandy area, not the Pas de Calais area, as earlier rumored. The earliest possible date is 5 June; however, anticipated unsettled weather will likley push the date back to June 6. More to follow.

Rumor has it, the muzzies have tunneled under all the major roads and routes and have massive --- as in WWI scale 50,000lb bombs --- pre-positioned in tunnels along and under routes.

Just watch. I hope the Israelis recall this tactic.

Better still - I hope they read that post!! It's very possible Hezbollah have done that.

There ARE connections on this board.

I've emailed the rumor to everyone I know in Israel.

If anyone on FR has links/family there, kindly do the same, as it will trickle to the correct people.
