From the Israel Insider article linked earlier:

But Israelis steeled to scenes of carnage from Palestinian suicide bombings and Hezbollah rocket attack could not help but notice that these victims did not look like our victims. Their faces were ashen gray. Their limbs appeared to have stiffened, from rigor mortis. Neither were effects that would have resulted from an Israeli attack hours before. These were bodies that looked like they had been dead for days.

I'll link it again: Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged.

Has anyone you know in the MSM discussed the implications of the building not coming down for SEVEN hours?

Brian Wilson was musing over it yesterday quite a bit, but I haven't heard much about it. I need to say this to prevent my head from exploding. THE MSM NEEDS TO JUST SHUT UP ABOUT QANA, JUST STFU! I AM TIRED OF IT LEADING OFF EVERY DISCUSSION WITH THE IMPLICATION THAT ISRAEL SHOULD CUT AND RUN BECAUSE SOME CIVILIANS DIED AND THAT THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING IS THE PR WAR. (Thanks, I feel better, I really do.)

"except for a few mortar shells this a.m. Hezbollah has been quiet - wonder what that means"

Patience. They want to win the media war.

A Syrian made mine or explosive device went off on a patrol road inside the Israeli occupied part of the Golan Heights near En Ziwan. No casualties.

Also Stratfor reports

Syria: Troops On Maximum Alert July 31, 2006 14 56 GMT

Syrian army units posted on the Lebanese border are on maximum alert, a source in Lebanon reported July 31. Syrian units near the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights have also been reinforced with three brigades from the Iraqi and Turkish borders. Anti-aircraft missile batteries have been spotted by motorists south and east of Syria, as well as along the coast in the northwest.

I think we should make Israel the 51st state, then the 2008 ticket could be Bolton/Netanayahu, or Bibi for SECDEF. Yes?

My Israeli friend calls this idea the "Jewnited States of America."

No, that's not what I mean. More that it seemed he hoped that Israel would fight full force, but was not entirely confident that it would. The poster I was responding to had something of the same feeling.

As Syrian Forces all go over to the border with Israel, this is an ideal military opportunity for the US to roll its soldiers into Syria from Iraq, taking the Kurds with them. The Israelis could come from the East catching Syrias military and destroying it completely.

This must be a very tempting target for the US military. No need to occupy Syria, just go in and destroy the military of Syria. Blast it to smithereens.

Then all Syria will have is terrorism as a military option, a much weaker, less organized way to work its ways of deception and violence at Irans suoervision.

What a tempting strategic target!!!!!

Been working and just got in...what happened in the Golan with Syria? Oh nothing really, just that Israeli military sources attibute an explosion in the Golan to Syrian forces and now Stratfor is reporting Syrian forces on maximum alert, moved three additional birgades to the Golan and Syrian motorists reporting SAM sites being moved to the border. No big deal . . . just another day at the office

"that Europe is coming to understand what a thread the Islamicists are, but have more the attitude "a pox on both their houses."

And when the Euroweenies come out of their hidey holes and discover they are living under Dar-al-Islam?

Today is the 6th of Av...the 9th, when the people will go to the temple mount, is on the 3rd.

For you who are not familiar:

Tisha Be-Av (The Ninth Month of Av) is, as the name suggests, observed on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av. Originally, the festival served to commemorate the destruction of the First and Second Temples (585 BCE and 70 CE respectively), both of which occurred on or around the ninth of Av. Later, other sad events, such as the expulsion of 100,000 Jews from Spain in 1492, occurred in the lives of the Jewish people on the ninth of Av. Consequently, Tisha Be-Av now commemorates all the bad events in Jewish history which occurred on this day. As on Yom Kippur, Jews are required to fast on this holiday. During the synagogue service, the Book of Lamentations and Kinnot are read. To express their sorrow, congregants typically sit on the floor while partaking in the service.

I saw that question and answer as well. I had already figured they were Hezbollah kin, still sad that they died.

Here is a blog worth looking at. RME Milking it?

Do you think it is possible that the Hezzidiots sacrificed these people on purpose? Not only used them as shields, but provoked Israel to attack there while they slept, and the men high tailed it out in advance to continue the fight. At first I thought, ah no way, and then I remembered that they aren't human and how they all seriously dream of their sons becoming martyrs.
