#3 Later that day Hassan led a rally in Ramallah in which he reportedly informed participants he placed Fatah fighters on high alert "ahead of the possibility of escalation of the conflict in Lebanon, which could manifest itself in an escalation of Israeli actions (here)."

"I know what I'm talking about, and I know what I'm referring to," Hassan reportedly told the crowd.

Can you say "self-fulfilling prophecy"?

#4 You gotta know "escalation" also means NORTH KOREA-TAIWAN somewhere in the meaning. SO iff the Japanese attacked San Francisco, etal after Pearl Harbor, will FDR and Americans have the right to get mad, e.g. iff only a PC "limited attack" against CHINATOWN ala Kai-shek???

#6 A United Nations Resolutions demands Lebanon disarm "all militias," including armed Palestinian groups.

It looks like they are disarming themselves... the hard way. So Fatah feels the need to declare war as officially as Hamas? The world has changed; this time they'll get a bellyfulof it, and the losses will be permanent. They really never do lose an opportunity to lose an opportunity.

#7 Do they all get repeatedly dropped on their heads in the West Bank and Gaza when they are babies, or what?

#8 Swamp Blondie, this is why it's a bad idea for first cousins to marry... repeatedly, for about 5,000 years.

#9 All the more reason to absorb Gaza and the West Bank, and forcibly expel the Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians and Lebanese. Oh! I'm sorry, I meant the 'palestinians'.

#10 You mean for Israel to take the land and send the posers marching into the desert.
I've always thought that would be a great move.
They could go live in the Sinai, nobody's living there. Land is cheap in the scenic Sinai.

#11 WX, Sinai is a beautiful place---where I've spent 3 good years, and a part of future Israel. Let them go live in Soddy Arabia.

#12 Who cares where they go. They can go back to Jordan, or back to the desert where they originated. This should have been done in 1948.

#13 We are all venting hard, but I believe the world does not really perceive correctly whats going on here.
I take the hezbies threats very seriously as they have been known to deliver what they promise.
It seems that if the Paleo's will start another front Israel will be forced with its back against the wall because we cannot sustain another five months with two million civilians hiding in bomb shelters.
I am sorry brothers, but the time when we draw some heavyweight weaponry from certain bunkers is getting nearer and nearer.

The time for wholesale massacres of the arab populations of lebanon and paleoland is getting near.

The Hezbbies will eventually succeed in their aims (or their master's aim) of fighting to the last lebanese civillian.

I forsee a regional war in the middle east within two months.
I wish I was wrong.

#14 No apologies needed, Elder of Zion. If those who started it will see it finished in ways they made necessary, they have no business complaining about the consequences of their actions. Israel will do what she must, and we will support her completely.

#15 TW,
Thanks for the kind words, even though it does not make me happy to think about what is going to happen next.

#16 ive never seen any evidence that either Assad, or his supporters like Dahlan, really control the Fatah elements in the camps in Lebanon.

#17 My father is Israeli, EoZ -- his mother used to kaffeeklatch with Golda Meir when she used to have time back before 1948. Daddy was working after hours on Haganah projects when he blew up the Technion lab... and in the 1950's instituted labour safety practices for the government for the northern half of Israel. Mama was born in Germany, but spent the War hiding in Holland from the Nazis; her mother's memoir is archived in Yad Vashem and the Holocaust Museum in DC.

This isn't a game to me.

I'm sure neither the PA Fatah nor anyone els has any control of the historic chaos of the extraterritorial camps, liberalhawk. But formally authorizing what is going on anyway is a big step for the PA Fatah, and certainly could be construed as an act of war.

#18 The time for wholesale massacres of the arab populations of lebanon and paleoland is getting near.

It's not as if they haven't been begging for it over the last few decades. If "disarming" the ring of terrorists bordering Israel requires killing every last man, woman and child in the terror sponsoring regions, then so be it. Long ago they proved their complete lack of use to the modern world. We will not be dragged back into their stone age milieu, and their ~~reluctance~~ abject refusal to join even the most slightly form of civilized society must, therefore, be their death knell.

#19 Spot on Zen. I suppose I should feel guilty for believing that these cretins forfeited their right to consume oxygen long ago, but I don't.

#20 We are all venting hard, but I believe the world does not really perceive correctly whats going on here.

Especially France. I don't see any common driving purpose to all the different fronts they are approaching this problem on, including their internal fronts. Internally they seem to be restricting behavior that is part of being Muslim, externally they have threatened to nuke anybody who might attack them in a big way, they are courting Iran, and they are pushing for what appears to be a UN resolution as lame as the previous ones for Lebanon. And they say they want peace for all at the same time. What gives here? Pick a side and go for it.
