Someone educate me about Israeli government. Is Bibi a member of Parliament? If not, what is his actual position within the government? I know he is the head of the Opposition, but would that make his position somewhat like Howard Dean is to the Dims?

ppphhhew...spit... ptoooey... not as though Bibi is anything like Howard Dean.

But Hezbollah's central function is to threaten Israel;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hezbollah's central function is to annex Lebanon for the Islamosfascist Axis: Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc..

I am hoping that by August 31st...this thing with Lebanon will kind of "point the way" to how to deal with Iran...

If Iran gets more involved in the Israeli/Lebanon fight..Aug. 31st may be a moot date..

I think with Iran, Syria and Hezbollah all tied up together...everything that happens from this minute on, affects all three..plus the rest of the world.

IDF denies the report

Greg Palkot says he is in the area and there are no attacks that he can see
