Wasn't sure if to put this in my Iran thread or in this one...

Iranian President Warns Israel Against Attacking Lebanon, Repeats Nuke Stance
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's hard-line president warned Israel on Thursday that other nations in the region would take action against the Jewish state if it attacked Lebanon in the summer.

Although there has been discussion among Israeli experts about the possibility of another war against the Lebanon's Hezbollah guerillas, Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz and other officials have denied plans for such a conflict. A war between the two sides last summer ended in a U.N.-brokered cease-fire.

Israeli troops are in the midst of an offensive against the Palestinian Hamas faction in response to rocket attacks on Israeli border towns, arresting more than 30 senior members of Islamic militant group in the West Bank early Thursday.

"If you think that by bombing and assassinating Palestinian leaders you are preparing ground for new attacks on Lebanon in the summer, I am telling you that you are seriously wrong," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a rally in the city of Isfahan.

"If this year you repeat the same mistake of the last year, the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will cut the root of the Zionist regime from its stem," added Ahmadinejad, speaking live on state television.

After last year's disaster in Lebanon, I would think that Israel would think twice.

And if Iran attacks Israel, I pray our leaders whipe Iran off of the face of the map!



TheosCentric -> RE: Israel in the News (5/24/2007 2:33:35 PM)

What if Israel attacked unprovoked?



Stephanos -> RE: Israel in the News (5/24/2007 2:41:31 PM)

In YOUR eyes, nothing that Hamas, or Hezbolah or any other Islamic group does will EVER be enough to justify a responce from Israel. So there is no point in arguing with you on this point. Jordan and Egypt could roll tanks into the West bank and Gaza, and that would be perfectly fine in your eyes. Hamas and Hezbolah could fire hundreds of rockets and shells a our for days nonstop at a time into israel and that would be perfectly fine in your eyes. Islamic groups could say they intend on whiping Israel off the map, then start sending homicide bombers and solders into Israel and THAT would not be enough for you either would it? Because here is a news flash, that LAST one has allready happened.

Your refusal to see that it has happend shows that you have a unrealisitcly high standard for Israel to live by, one that will lead to their distuction if they would follow it.

You don't know me or what I think, so this response is not really justified. I don't think Hamas and Hezbollah or any other group firing rockets into Israel is justified. I also don't think Israel tearing Lebanon apart last summer was justified either. I have, and will always, maintain that both sides are at fault. The problem is, most American Christians, see no fault whatsoever with Israel. They do no wrong. They can wipe out the entire gov't of the P.A., take over the offices, destroy all Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and move in, and it would perfectly justified. That is wrong thinking. Besides, Jordan and Egypt both have treaties with Israel, but I suppose you should know that, right? Apparently, it doesn't matter because they're Muslim countries and we all know that Muslims are liars.

Israel has said that they would pull settlers out of the West Bank. They have not done so. Instead they have started annexing parts of the West Bank. They want Hamas to abide by International standards to recognize Israel, but they refuse themselves to abide by International standards to withdraw to pre-1967 borders. Who has the high standards here? Have you ever tried to see the conflict through the Palestinian street kids' eyes?

Israel Targets Iranian, Syrian Money Transfers to Palestinian Terror


Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel targeted offices of money-changers in the Gaza Strip overnight that officials said were involved in supporting terrorism and arrested dozens of Hamas activists in a crackdown intended to disrupt rocket firing and the terrorist infrastructure in Palestinian areas. The Israeli Air Force bombed three offices in the Gaza Strip that Israel said were involved in transferring money from Iran, Syria and Lebanon to fund the terrorist activities of Hamas and other terrorist organizations. "Millions of dollars have been transferred each month to terror organizations in the Gaza Strip, which has enabled the purchase and manufacture of weaponry and the carrying out of attacks against Israeli civilians, including Kassam [rocket] launchings," the army said in a statement. Three rockets fired from Gaza landed in Israel Thursday morning. Nearly 200 rockets have been launched at Israel - most by Hamas terrorists - in the past 10 days, killing one woman, injuring dozens more and causing extensive damage.

Like I said, it works both ways. How often does that really happen in Israel?



Stephanos -> RE: Israel in the News (5/24/2007 3:17:12 PM)

Everytime a muslim lunitic straps a bomb to the belly and walks into a area where lots of infidel jews are gathered. How about every time a peice of garbage sets up a rocket platform and launches a few shells into Israeli lands?

Israel pulled the settleres out of Gaza on the promise that the PA could stop the rockets. That didn't happen, did it? THEN the deal was to be that the West Bank would be treated the same. It is clear what fell through and just who it was who fell through. (Hint: it wasn't the Israelis.)

The rockets have been raining down daily in the western Negev for many months now.

Calling human beings "garbage" is hardly conducive to any argument and represents a hateful heart.

Someone who blows themselves up or diliberatly targets civilians with rockets because they hate their religion, is a peice of garbage...PERIOD!!!

For your information, it has nothing to do with the Jews religion. It has to do with the Israeli occupation. Isn't it nice to know that someone in another part of the world probably thinks of you and me as pieces of garbage too? I was not aware that we were to think of them the same way. I wonder if Jesus would have thought of them as a piece of garbage.

So in your mind are these homicide bombings and rocket launchings justified and perfectly fine because of occupation?

And I think Jesus would hate murders BTW...Anyone that does not believe in Him is going to hell. Thus anyone who dies in murdering someone and believes they are doing it for the glory of Islam, IS GOING TO ROT IN HELL! And frankly good riddance.

Yes, but we are called to be like Christ, not to call human beings "garbage". There's no justification for doing so.
