#4 ION WORLD NEWS > LEBANESE HEZBOLLAH LEADER [Nasrallah] DECLARES PEACE TALKS WID ISRAEL ARE "DEAD", CALLS FOR ARMED RESISTANCE. IIUC, IOW violent Jihad + Insurgency agz Israel??? * SAME/TOPIX > [Wikileaks] HEZBOLLAH HAS 50,000 ROCKETS. * SAME/TOPIX > WIKILEAKS: US BELIEVES SYRIA GAVE SCUD MISSLES TO HEZBOLLAH. HMMMM, HMMM, IMO Hezbollah/Hizbullah intends to NULL ISRAEL'S MIL + NUCLEAR SUPERIORITY BY PROCURING VARIOUS NUCTECHS + LRBMS, vee M-A-D = MUTUALLY ASSUREDD ESTRUCTION, WHILE LOCAL MMILTERR FACTIONS CONTINUE TO LAUNCH TERRSTRIKES AGZ ISRAEL??? I suspect Tel Aviv is aware of this dangerous Scenario given Israel's repor demand to Washington, DC that the US-WEST NOT + NEVAR! ALLOW ISRAEL TO LOSE ITS TRADITIONAL MIL SUPERIORITY. Methinks the sooner Israel formally joins NATO the better for its security. * WAFF > TERRORISTS MAY GET BIOWEAPONS FROM [poorly secured, corrupted] INDIAN LABORATORIES. * CHINA DAILY FORUM > POSTER Thread(s) > MORE RUSSIANS + INDIANS CONVERT TO ISLAM; + MORE SOUTH KOREAN SOLDIERS [37 in tote]CONVERT TO ISLAM [SOKOR is home to approxi 37,000 indigenous Muslim believers + another 70,000 foreign Muslims]. |

#3 I'm no military strategist, but I can read a map. Only way Israel doesn't need the West Bank is if they manage to never get attacked from that direction again. FWIW - anything with "Forward" in the title is highly suspect. |

#2 See the Rantburg link below this one - Hamas admits it lied to the Goldstone "Investigators" It discredits the widely quoted "1500 civilians killed" claim. |

#1 he glibly notes that many killed in Leb in 20006 and in Gaza in Cast Lead were civilians without adding that was a direct result of the Hezbullies and Hamas of firing from civilian centers - using their own people as human shields. He also throws out giving up "Arab Jerusalem" as a nothing-lost deal. I'd say he's less a historian and more of a "let's give them everything and ask for nothing in return"ass. To me a successful west bank populace is a lesson to Gazooks that living relatively peacefully has an upside - one they will never get with Hamas in charge. There's a limit to settlement activity that starts to be counterproductive, but I would NEVER give up Jerusalem. It's a reminder to the Arabs that lost acts of aggression have costs, just like the Golan. They understand that power rules. Soon another crisis in Leb will require a smiting - make it a large one |
