#1 Few Israelis would give a piece of ratshit for what a Haaretz editorial says.

#2 lotp, good comments...

I don't see the Israeli left holding sway whilst the country is on war footing, with three kidnapped soldiers at risk and rockets reining down on civilians.

The UN fartwicks, combined with the Arab League fartwicks, will howl, but national security is preeminent. So far, Bush seems to get it.

#3 A senior IDF official revealed Saturday that Hizbullah has been hiding a large quantity of long-range rockets in specially-designed rooms built in houses in Southern Lebanon villages, operating under the assumption that the Israeli army will have difficulty in locating them and that it would prefer not to harm villages.

Butt-loads of secondary explosions should dispel that idea.

Fuck anyone who lets terrorists store explosives in their house. Let's start fighting according to the Geneva Conventions -- this is a violation, the use of civilian structures for military use. The Israelis are released from targeting restrictions; any restraint they use from now on is by choice, not legal necessity.

#4 Damn stright RC. Israel should make this very-very public and let everyone know that Hizbullah ( if not Lebanon ) have VIOLATED THE GENEVA CONVENTION and will no longer be given GC protections.

Since when has Hizbullah given any Israeli GC accomodations?

#5 Here, let me fix that quote for you:

"...and will hit every convoy transporting arms, ~~even~~ especially if there are Iranian elements within it."

#6 I'm guessing anyone with a "Home Makeover" that wasn't on an episode on TV should get ready to become stars on the Isreali edition.

"Tonite Ty does a makeover of a poor farmer with a missle too big for his garage."

#7 AM News > Israel wants the terror orgs not only de facto, verifiably disarmed but replaced by formal Lebanese Army units.
