Her video is up now. It's fantastic! Plus, she's doing narration, so you get a real feel for the event. She doesn't hide her feelings ('Pali-lovers'), that's for sure.

I apologize for reading the map wrong. After I saw the map posted, I saw that I had read the list north of Houston instead of south of Dallas. Houston's actual list was below it. I then failed to correct my error in my haste to sign off for a while. Sorry.

Yes, the inhabitants are Alawites, just like the Assads, but the inhabitants voted to belong to Israel, not Lebanon where they are surrounded by a Shi'ite majority.

Oh, if only our MSM and diplomats would be able to understand that the conflict in the near Middle East is not only between Jews and Muslims. It is much more multifaceted than so.

Anyway, I think strategically the reason for taking the remaining part of the village was to keep Hezbollah out of an inhabited place where they would be able to fire rockets shielded by the local inhabitants. However, it may also be a subtle hint at the Syrians to keep quiet.

That's like Kofi offering to send peace keepers and everyone fails to realize there were ALREADY peacekeepers there and they were bunked up with Hezbollah on the Israel/Lebanon border.

You might also find this interesting...

http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/19583/

Towards the beginning and the end it has some of Jennifer Griffin's story, and about raising her kids with her being a war correspondent.

And this is long, but worth the read...It's a current interview (from not even a month ago) with Jennifer about living in Israel with her girls, etc. It's very interesting.
http://www.q-and-a.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1080 (or watch the video....this last link http://www.q-and-a.org/Video/?ProgramID=1080)...Jennifer has lived in Israel for 6 1/2 years.

On Hannity he just said that a missile from Lebanon hit a hospital. Anyone have any details on this?

The war could be won now if Israel had bombed that demonstration. I view the extreme anti-Israel Left in Israel as a more serious problem than Hezbollah. A pity the Israeli Air Force couldn't take the time out of its schedule to eliminate them.

Pajamas Media update:

12:29 PDT Seen on Fox News Live: Shepard Smith reporting from Haifa comes under fire or receives an alert. Ducks. Runs off camera. After a minute or so, returns and resumes report. A bit nervous but hair intact.

Shep has a bold spot

We saw that - right dab in the middle. He's not gonna like that. :o) If he had known it was shining out, he would have remained standing with all kinds of rockets whizzing by his head.
