I feel that the majorities of countries in the world are looking for any excuse to hate Israel. NEVER is there the same outrage when it is the Israelis suffer the same.

I just don't understand the hatred.

Petition:

To the Honorable and Respected Presidents /Prime Ministers of the United States, Russia, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and the United Nations.

We applaud your recent joint statement concerning the new conflict in Lebanon at the G8 summit held in S. Petersburg, Russia. While there may still be differences in your individual opinions on the matter, your message demanding an immediate return of the abducted soldiers, a cessation of missile attacks against Israel as immediate steps to stop the widening balance, and your understanding of Israel's right to defend itself while using utmost restraint, is greatly appreciated.

...

U.S. President George Bush has the broader vision in seeing the potential threat of appeasing these groups and their sponsoring terrorists States. We are all concerned over the loss of innocent lives, but this is a price people pay for allowing a terrorist infrastructure to be built up within heavily populated civilian areas.

Leaving the terrorist organizations and their sponsors alone today will exact a deep price on the civilized world down the road. The deterrence the free world currently enjoys as nuclear Superpower nations will mean absolutely nothing in just a few short years. While civilized nations of this world have this power but refrain from using it, countries such as Iran and Syria have already indicated their willingness and actual use of any and weapons at their use.

Do not be confused by media biased reports and the liberal left. Stand firm and resolute in backing Israel's right to defend itself. Israel's gains in this war are not hers alone but will serve the good of all peaceful nations.

"unfortunately, to a majority of the countries in the world...it is effective."

True. I agreed with the poster hoping one of the idiots from one of those countries (like ours) would read it. ;)

The United States is expected to block a United Nations Security Council resolution denouncing Israel for the killing of about 60 civilians in the Lebanese village of Kana Sunday morning. Israel has said that the explosion in the building that caused the deaths may have been caused by stockpiles of Hizbullah weapons and not by the Israeli attack.

The Council is taking a recess at this hour and will resume its meeting in two hours.

Senior IDF officers told reporters a short time ago that there is a contradiction in the timing of the bombing of the village of Kana and reports of the explosion that killed more than 50 civilians and set off world-wide condemnation of Israel. Air Force Commander Amir Eshel left open the possibility that Hizbullah terrorists blew up the building or that an unknown cause set off explosives which were stored in the structure.

He explained that recorded information shows that Israeli Air Force planes bombed the building between midnight and 1 a.m. and that the next attack at 7:30 a.m. was up to 500 yards away. He said reports of the killing of civilians came around 8 a.m. "It is not clear what happened" between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m., he said.

Brigadier General Ido Nehushtan pointed out that Hizbullah terrorists have fired more than 150 rockets from the village of Kana since the beginning of the war.

The idiot is Trace Gallagher.

He's like a cut-rate Shep wannabe, only more openly supportive of Hezbollah than even Shep is.

It's sickening. Fox is slowly but surely going to the dark side.

I like to check in with Yoni for perspective. Sometimes, his information is a little stale, but he has stories you won't find in the main scream media. For instance, Israel just thwarted some pali would-be suicide bombers from striking within Israel.

Also, can't wait to HEAR Yoni tomorrow, especially as this Qana story develops ....

Re: Cease-fire or as Kofi says, a cessation of hostilities. If the U. S. were to abstain, who is going to enforce a UN resolution to stop fighting? They do such a good job around the world with their resolutions.

If Barbara Boxer finds out how quick they printed the signs (you know this means they most likely did the building themselves), she will move to Lebanon. Who has an email address?

Never, Myra. Where was this level of outrage at all the homicide bombings in Israel: the buses, the cafe last year ...?
