Pallywood in Lebanon
Hizbullah have made a huge mistake.
They forgot to read Mao's Little Red Book. A guerilla army never fights for territory. It's Rule # 1. Every idiot Commie in the world knows this one simple directive. A guerilla army hits the enemy, then "melts back into the countryside."
But Hizbullah want to be big shots. Arab honor and all that. They want to show the Arab world that they alone are able to stand up to the Is-ra-eli army. Excuse me, to the Zionist interlopers.
Which, of course, they can't.
For every single IDF casualty, Hizbullah have absorbed approximately 20 fatalities. Now, maybe in the Muslim world they can run around and call this victory. In the normal world where delusional thinking does not rule (NY Times included) this is called a crushing defeat.
Rockets can be easily replaced, but these death-loving Hizbullah terrorists cost millions to house and feed, and it takes years to train just one of these jihadists. And now the IDF have Hizbullah bottled up with no back door for escape.
As one IDF special forces soldier remarked: "Now it's just bug-hunting."
If only the Olmert government had the stomach to use the reserves, the IDF could annihilate Hizbullah and it would be over in five weeks. Unfortunately, the children of Israel are, in the words of Arutz Sheva, "Priests standing on the shoulders of dwarves."
There has just been a report of an IDF bombing that caused a building collapse killing scores of children. You know what?
Nonsense.
More Pallywood.
This is a big lie manufactured to hasten a cease fire to save Hizbullah.
This from Naomi Regan.
1. Tonight, an IDF spokesman showed aerial photos of rockets being fired from residential areas in Qana. It showed the portable rocket launchers being parked beneath residential buildings. The spokesman said that the bombs dropped on Qana were dropped at 1 a.m.
The reports of the building collapse took place at 7 a.m. Also, no bombs actually hit the building. So, who was responsible for the collapse of that building? Could Hezbollah weapons have exploded, destroying the building? Was it deliberate, a way to pressure Israel into a ceasefire the same way they did last time, in exactly the same spot? And why is no one in the media picking up on this time gap and asking questions?
2. The number of those injured is being supplied by Lebanese sources, and being quoted by all the news stations.
So far, only 26 bodies have been recovered. But news reports are saying the number was twice that, and half are children. That too is supplied by unknown sources and repeated by the major media.
3. At 7 a.m. a barrage of Hezbollah rockets hit the shopping center and buildings of Kiryat Shmona, unlike anything else the town has experienced. Altogether 1500 kilograms of bombs have hit the area's approximately 25,000 residents remaining in their homes Where is the outrage over that?

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Robert,
Well...the Jew haters got what they wanted...and incident they could blow out of proportion.
The MSM is drooling all over this...as the various correspondents can barely contain they Jew hating glee.
However....I saw exchange on MSNBC that brought a smile to my face.....The anchor was chatting it up wit the NBC military analysts....She was leading the questions...hoping to get them to condemn the Israeli action....However...much to her chagrin...both of the analysts each stated that they would have done the same thing as Israel.
I just wish....like you said Robert...that Olmert would grow a spine...and do what has to be done....and clean out the garbage.

Lance:
Israel did not do this, if a "this" even exists. And if it does, Hizbullah did it.

Robert,
I know that....
My point is that no matter what Israel does the world was just waiting so it could pounce, yet again, on Israel.
What is really rich is that crook....I would like to use a saltier word....that crook Kofi...is in a huff...As you have pointed...that man should be put away for all of the atrocities he has enabled.

The news stations are saying that Israel is going to stop air strikes for 48 hours. They also report that Israel is saying the bombing in Qana was a "mistake". I can't believe that is what Israel is really saying...what is the truth?
Posted by: Cruisin-mom at July 30, 2006 02:19 PM
The "truth" is that Israel has apparently agreed to 24hours.....that is what FOX is reporting....
The reason coming from sources mentioned that the 24 hours is to give time for "civilians" to move north...and for "humanitarian" aid.

Also...according to reports I have read...yes...Israel did apologize....not that they have anything to apologize for...
Many bloggers...like Robert...and other reports I have seen.... point out many discrepancies in the timeline of the building collapse.....
May I suggest browsing around and checking various blogs....like Seraphic Secret...LGF...Atlas Shrugs..etc...and watching other news sources besides CNN...and MSNBC...

I think it's important to follow all of the news stations, to see the what they are reporting...and realize that all of the news stations are misleading, including Fox. (when I was watching Fox,they too, were reporting a 48 hour hold on air strikes).

Glad you're feeling better.... :-)
This war would make anyone manic-depressive.....

Not true....FOX DID report the statement from the US State Dept...that referred to a 48 hour cessation of air strikes.
However, Jennifer Griffin, from FOX reported that her Israeli government sources said Israel only agreed to 24 hours.
I would agree that it is good to get a sampling of reports....and no network is perfect....even FOX.
But, it is also extremely clear that FOX has been the best to Israel. Most of the guests...including in house pundits like Sean Hannity clearly back Israel.
Now lets see...stack that up versus CNN's Larry King...Lou Dobbs...Nic Robertson....all slant their reporting AGAINST Israel.
And MSNBC has Jew hater Pat Buchanan...who seems to be on a one man crusade to extract Israeli concessions....and make all sort of excuses for the terrorists.

FYI I first read about the building collapse time discrepancy on Ynet, via Carl in Jerusalem blog. About 2 hours ago.
Guess what - it's all over Memeorandum now.
Posted by: Yehudit at July 30, 2006 02:56 PM
what Jennifer Griffin reported came later...first reported was the 48 hours
Posted by: Cruisin-mom at July 30, 2006 03:07 PM
If it makes you happy....your right.
Posted by: Lance at July 30, 2006 03:11 PM
Lance, I'm just making a point that Fox news had reported the 48 hours...it's on their website as well. Why would I want to make that up? This may ruin your day, but I'm actually on the same side as you.

I'd be willing to bet on Hezbollah weaponry being stowed near or underneath the building. It would fit the modus operandi of Hezbollah, which, like Hamas, stores their shells inside homes. I don't remember which blog I saw it on, but the author wondered how 30 feet tall detailed anti-Condi Rice posters went up, with details of the Qana deaths, only hours after it was reported, and suggested it was a PLANNED disaster. That I don't know, but the entire episode, as many other things from Lebanon, doesn't seem quite...kosher.
I almost quit watching ANY of the media today. Too much gloating over this apparent 'disaster', but one Fox anchor,was at least bringing up the idea that while Moslems are killing each other in Iraq at the rate of several THOUSAND a month in Iraq, no one in the Moslem world seems especially put out by this (or of course, blames the U.S. and Israel, as if both are responsible for the historical hatred between Shia and Sunni Muslims, and for that matter, between both them and the Kurds. Is nothing NOT the fault of the U.S. and Israel? It's about as good an example of classic Freudian transference as possible, isn't it?!).
So, there are some good anchors and commentators out there, who are willing to address both sides of the issue, or frankly, even be understanding of Israel's. Fox continues, too, to have more pundits and hosts who back Israel outright.
In the meantime, reports are that Israel's ground offensive is continuing, that only the air strikes that are being put on hold..and even those are in abeyance only as long as Israel decides that there are no imminent attacks.
What that means is uncertain. The Katushyas will continue to fall...at a minimum. Will Olmert remain spineless if larger rockets or missiles are fired during the lull? But that is the official word from Israel, that the lull is conditional.
