Israel to Moscow: Hezbollah used Russian-made missiles against IDF
Haaretz ^ | 8-18-2006 | Associated Press

Posted on 08/18/2006 5:57:33 AM PDT by M. Espinola

The anti-tank missiles proved to be one of Hezbollah's most effective weapons in combat with Israeli soldiers in Lebanon. Such missiles killed at least 50 of the 118 soldiers who died in the 34-day war that ended this week.

Another government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media, said the delegation was "senior," but refused to say who they would be meeting with in Russia.

Israel took in a million Russians, most of whom have no Jewish background and see the country as nothing more than a place to get a tan and a welfare check. As for the motherland, Putin is profoundly anti-Semitic and a greedy bastard to boot- he has no qualms about profiting by selling weapons to terrorists.

Agreed.

What troubles me is that, at least during the '90s, six out of seven Russian oligarchs were of Jewish descent. I don't know what the situation is now or what power they wield in the Russian arms business, but one wonders what the deal really is. I would appreciate somebody filling me in on what has transpired.

Truth really doesn't matter to M.Espinola, when he is determined to implicate Russia. I have been down this road with him previously.

I believe firmly in free speech and in free thought, not in MacCarthyism. NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism as the rules of this forum tell us. I believe also that we have the liberty to believe obvious evidence ... or not. And that reflects the accuracy or the inaccuracy of one's judgement.

"Truth really doesn't matter to M.Espinola, when he is determined to implicate Russia."

Now that's not nice Comrade, even though I realize Col Putin's Motherland must be defended right down to the last member of the Putin Promoters (wives) Club.

So any and all news reports of IDF troops being murdered by Russian weapons fired by Iranian terrorist proxy thugs - are all lies?

Here's one for a gold frame, or should that be Red?

Russian 'President' (dictator) Vladimir Putin yesterday (8-16-06) checked out a supersonic strategic bomber in Moscow. The bomber was headed for a training mission.

"Israel took in a million Russians, most of whom have no Jewish background and see the country as nothing more than a place to get a tan and a welfare check."

It's very true the alarming percentile of Russians saying they were Jewish making aliyah and were not.

"As for the motherland, Putin is profoundly anti-Semitic and a greedy bastard to boot- he has no qualms about profiting by selling weapons to terrorists."

Without Putin's Russkie made weapons being sold to (OPEC's) Iran & Assad's Syria, who in turn transfer these Russian weapons to their Hizballah jihadist confederates, more Israeli boys would be alive today. When Putin makes millions from weapons sold to the likes of jihad exporting Iran and Syria, he knows damn well those terrorists will murder Americans in Iraq and Israelis in their own country.

Israeli friends know who the Jewish state is really fighting. The enemy arming the visible Islamic enemies - Putin's anti-Western neo-USSR!

There's a old Soviet era joke about Gorby (or a predecessor) wanting to know how many Jews were in the USSR.

"Fourteen million", an aide answers.

"And how many of those would emigrate to Israel if we let them?", he asked.

"Twenty million" was the response.

Unfortunately that joke has a lot of truth since those caught behind the Iron Curtain of Russian communism would say and do anything to escape.

The Jewish population of Georgia has steadily decreased over the years due to aliyah.

If the tiny minority of Putin promoters lurking on FR had their way, no truth relating to Russia's blatant weapons support for the most vile Islamic and Communist régimes would ever be heard of. The rising alarming waves of Russian anti-Semitism would never be posted on here either.

Col Putin's should have never been his buddy in the first place. Some people have to learn the hard way.

Even more unfortunate when the lives of 300 million American lives are at stake.

Mr President take another, long, hard look - and act accordingly.

Gary,

We see again that you avoid the question of the thread and starting your usual ad hominem attacks.

I hope your not charging much.

They're just JINOS - like Lenin, Trotsky,Stalin.

Jewishness has nothing to do with these thugs - its the Russian in them that gives them the disregard for humanity.

These are the facts:
"Written underneath a contract number on each casing were the words: "Customer: Ministry of Defence of Syria. Supplier: KBP, Tula, Russia." "
