You folks are going to LOVE THIS!!
From Haaretz:

The interviewer asked Bibi how he explains the fact that more Lebanese civilians have been killed than Israeli civilians (a despicable question in itself).

Netanyahu said, "You don`t really want me to go in this direction, do you?"

The interviewer fell into the trap and asked, "Why not?"
"Because more German civlians were killed during the World War [II] than British and Americans together, and nobody disputes the fact that this resulted from German attacks.

"Moreover, England, in reprisal for the V2 rocket attacks, bombed and annihilated the civilian city of Dresden.

"And I would like to remind you that in 1944, when the British wanted to bomb the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen, your pilots missed, and burned a children`s hospital with 83 Danish children inside."

The interviewer was struck dumb.

I don't think it's much of a secret. I would expect this even without their sourcing. Just like I expect Russia to have nuclear counter plans, China to have counter plans, etc. In fact, China has just started building second-wave missile silos to launch a counter nuclear strike at the US.

Hi y'all!

Quiet so far this morning. I believe this is the first morning in a few days that we haven't heard any noise. No explosions, no firefights, no air activity...

So far.

I took that as propaganda. But I'm listening to learn something.

I have no idea the details; just a lot of chatter going on within Israel about this.
