Israel says missiles fired at it from Lebanon | |
JERUSALEM, April 4 (Reuters) - The Israeli army said on Thursday missiles had been fired from across the border with Lebanon at the Mount Hermon area in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. "We have reports of a few missiles launched from Lebanon at areas of the Hermon. We don't know of any damage," the army said in a brief statement. Israel has accused Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas of firing two Katyusha rockets that landed in northern Israel in recent days and threatened fierce retaliation if the Iranian-backed group launches another attack. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, blaming Iran and Syria for the attacks, said earlier on Thursday Israel was "ready and prepared for all actions that we will take as required".

This couldn't possibly have happened (/sarcasm), because as we know, Israel withdrew from every freaking SQUARE INCH of Lebanon, so Hezbollah has no reason to attack Israel! Israel is no longer "illegally occupying" Lebanon, frustrating the "liberty and freedom" of the Lebanese people. The Jews are out of Lebanon! The Lebanese can do whatever with it that they want!
And yet... what they want to do is kill Jews and destroy Israel. Just like Arafat and his goons, and Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and al-Aqsa, and Fatah, and Tanzim, and you name it. Let the Europeans and the left in America keep smoking crack and dreaming up "peaceful aspirations" for the "oppressed Palestinian peoples" that will be satiated by a withdrawl to pre-'67 borders and a Palestinian state. A Palestinian state will become even more of an armed camp that it already is; suicide bombers will swarm Jerusalem, missles and mortars will fly across the border, and it will all be excused because Israel won't honor the precious "right of return," or because they won't let Palestinians cross the border to work in Israel, or over water rights, blah blah blah.
The Arabs and Muslims have always hated Jews with a passion, and nothing short of another Diaspora will satisfy them. I say, let them bark at the moon. Israel has a right to beat them into submission, and frankly, that's exactly what she should do.
