| Peretz admits Lebanese refugees into Israel |
| 2006-08-25 |
| A group of Lebanese relatives of former members of an Israeli-allied militia crossed into Israel Thursday night, seeking refuge from possible revenge attacks by Hizbullah in the wake of the latest fighting between the Islamic guerillas and Israeli forces. Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered the small group of civilians, among them a child, to be allowed across the northern Israel border and receive humanitarian aide while their case is examined, a ministry spokeswoman said. She gave no further details, but the Haaretz daily said on its Web site that 13 people had crossed. |

| #8 "How does the Israeli govt. know that they are former Israeli-allied militia? Do they have marks on their body to distinguish them or perhaps there is a Cray I database on every former Israeli-allied militia?" The very same way I or my men would know the native troops we trained. Connections, maintained contacts, double-source verification. Likely there is even a data-base somewhere in the depths of the IDF or the Mossad. Some of the SLA turned themselves in to the Lebanese government. Others fled to Israel and then returned to Lebanon later. It is these, I suspect, that went back to Israel. It was not likely a free-for-all, as you imply. And flyover, I am much too old for a display of testosterone. I must treasure the little I have left. |

| #6 Ford, Yes, I understand. There are talking about the Christian militia that passed enemy intelligence over to the Mossad. What you don't understand is that, after Ehud Barak gave the Golan Heights in a How does the Israeli govt. know that they are former Israeli-allied militia? Do they have marks on their body to distinguish them or perhaps there is a Cray I database on every former Israeli-allied militia? Maybe you want to do some research before you "post stupid." |

| #5 Poison Reverse, look up 'South Lebanon Army'. Like I told my charges years ago, a little research on the situation does not hurt. Who knows? It might keep you from "posting stupid" again. |

| #4 PR what does the sentence "relatives of former members of an Israeli-allied militia" means to you? |

| #3 Odysseus, Do you really believe that Lebanon is an ally of Israel? Facts on the ground show otherwise. |

| #2 Taking care of one's allies is actually a good idea. It's not only good morally, it's enlightened self interest if one wants a chance at keeping a functioning network of agents in the area. |

| #1 Looks like someone's hit the Peretz tanker and its leaking liberal oil, everywhere. I don't think there's enough cat litter to clean up this spill, so the contamination of Israel continues. |
