SNIPPET: "Hezbollah-controlled Al-Manar television reported that the suspects' job was to collect information on potential targets such as the group's installations and the homes of its leaders.
The suspects are among 17 people allegedly belonging to six espionage cells who have been arrested in Lebanon in the past two months on suspicion of transmitting intelligence information to Israel...."
SNIPPET: "Israel has expressed reservations about American aid to the Lebanese army and security services, saying those organizations will ultimately be unable to contend with Hezbollah and that any aid is liable to serve Hezbollah's interests."

So it starts—the second Holocaust. Obama may will be the cause much weeping and wailing of the Jewish people. Let us hope I am wrong.
If this is true, it would be a terribly disturbing direction that things are moving...
As an American who happens to be Jewish, my first loyalty is to the USA. However, I believe that it’s in the best interest of the US to work with Israel, as opposed to the arab countries, and certainly NEVER with fatah, hamas, or hisbolla. The last two are, for all intents and purposes, in a defacto state of war with the US. And of course, there was the fatah ordered murder of an American diplomat, while Arafat was still their leader.

Russia is distancing from iran and america is distancing from israel.
Things are getting mixed up.
If I find that it is incorrect Mark (from online sources) I will pull this thread myself and start a new one. If I can’t find that it is false (from online sources); I will update as updates become available.
I hope this article is incorrect.
It is my prayer.
Absolutely astounding; America has stabbed in the back its best, and only reliable, ally in the Middle East. What’s next - helping Iran with its nuclear weapons program???
The nature of life under the Obama administration just grows darker and darker, and the shadow is spreading around the world. Is it me, or does this drift of affairs resemble somewhat the events portrayed in the Tolkien books?
“What next?...”

I’m not sure what to make of this.
It does not say that Obama has leaked Israeli secrets to Lebanon, leading to the arrest of people spying for Israel.
What it says is that we have been giving Lebanon money for some time to beef up their security and military—presumably in hopes of keeping Lebanon out of the hands of Syria and Hezbollah. So, as the article says, this started under Bush. And apparently it was not a leak or a betrayal, but Lebanese intelligence that made the arrests.
Lebanon is a very difficult case. I’d say that it’s probably a good idea to try to help them stay free of Syrian/Iranian control. But of course it’s also dangerous. yet it’s in Israel’s interest as well as ours to try to maintain an independent Lebanon, as far as that’s possible.
I’m not saying that this article is wrong, but possibily it’s misleading.
“Absolutely astounding; America has stabbed in the back its best, and only reliable, ally in the Middle East.”

“U.S. helps Lebanon crack alleged Israeli spy rings”
By Haaretz Correspondent and AP , By Yoav Stern
SNIPPET: “Lebanon arrested five people over the weekend suspected of belonging to an intelligence cell transmitting information about Hezbollah to Israel, the most recent arrests in a two-month crackdown apparently aided by American training and equipment.”
PING
“Whats next - helping Iran with its nuclear weapons program???”
Remember the travels of James Carter.
Rhodesia - result: Mugabe/Zimbabwe.
Iran - result: Ayatollah Khomeini and the widespread beginning of Iranian sponsored terrorism.
North Korea - result: NK nuke capability.
Nothing bad is beyond the grasp of this anti-American holding the White House. The US may be screwed!!
The List, ping
Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you Nachum.
you mean a muslim potus helped undermine jewish agents? i’m so shocked!
/sarc
