"where there is a will there is a way - we can bring peace - however we do need to all want it"
To all Labneh lovers,
I regret to tell you that in all this hullabaloo we have missed the fact that the Taanayel dairy is gone. It is no more. Evidently it was a terrorist threat. The IDF was certain that Hizballah will use the bacteria there to develop chemical weapons.
Lebanon needs to send it's requests for aid to Hezbollah or direct to Iran.
Iran is selling it's oil for US$70.00 plus, while it costs them about US$7.00 to pump, transport it.
Seems like they should have plenty of money to buy relief supplies for Lebanon.
But, then again, maybe their trucks are all full that are coming into Lebanon. You know, carrying things like missiles, launchers and more Iranian "advisors".
Which do the Lebanese people really want?
Relief supplies or Missiles?

i am the warmonger
i am the fighter
i am the aggressor
i have waged a vicious war.. i'll fight it till i die and i will do so relentlessly.
my enemy is the absence of hope my foe is the dissipation of faith..
i actively believe in peace.. and i promise to seek it and practice it.. my weapons are my hopes and my battles are my personal endeavours to show society that this hatred and ongoing bloodshed is a waste..
it is so useless to engage in tit for tat chatter.. we all know eachother's pain and we are all aware of the issues that plague eacother's efforts to reconcile our respective nations..
blaming eachother will not alter our reality.. will not cease the fighting.. feed the starving or protect those under attack of fire..
i greive lebanon's pain and loss.. but israel too has well over a million people under the poverty line due to the economic challenges that it faces in the quest to defend itself.. we too have hungry and scared children and needy elderly..
lebanon.. with all due respect - you do not have exclusivity over suffering.. nor do you have a monopoly over the need for protection..
as mentioned earlier in the comments above.. we hear your cries and respond with sadness.. but when our soldiers were hurt.. people danced through the streets of beirut and showered candy.. your voices were mute while we suffered..
nevertheless its time this situation evolve.. enough is enough.. no one is going anywhere so we may as well learn to get along.. and whats more.. if enough people only tried.. i'm sure we would discover the vastness of our commonalities..
as i have said previously i LOVE my lebanese friends.. they are very close to me and have accompanied me through most of my life..
i wish and pray that other people on either side of our short but tormented border will know that same great friendship that i have experienced with them..
peace and love

seeking peace on the east of the med sea
Sorry but I went to that link and i dont relate much credability to the author..
his discussion of arabisraeli urban planning is plainly an accusation of everything that is dysfunctional with arab israeli towns..
arab israelis have made an enormous journey from clan based village style living into modern infrastructural societies..
the author of that piece demonstrates little regard for the often insurmountable obstacles that mainstream israeli society has faced while trying to upgrade arab infrastructure..
truly a pointless piece
I’ve just seen the site you mentioned…
What a load of crap!
If you drive around Israel, you’ll see a military base every 10 kilometres (maybe because we’ve needed to defend ourselves from Arab attacks for the last 60 years).
EVERYONE living in Israel (including residents of the city of Nazareth) is about 5 kilometres from a military base.
Human shield? This is NOT the way Israel goes by!
I don’t know if you ever been to the army, but I was in the Israeli army for 3 years including Lebanon, the west bank and the Gaza strip.
I can tell you for a fact. NO ARMY IN THE WORLD IS HUMAIN AS THE ISRAELI ARMY. Sometimes it goes even beyond reason.
I’ve risk my own life several times because the orders of the Israeli army are to avoid Arab civilians casualties at any cost.
If you too will ever be in a situation where someone will shoot at you and you won’t fire back because you afraid you might hit other innocent people, give me a call…
what ass kissing.. this has nothing to do with ass kissing.. i am entitled to express my views just as you are yours.. and i am entitled to wish for peace as much as i like..

Al-Ghadabulsaati3,
When Lebanese civilians are killed – it is an unfortunate accident (like thinking a truck is holding rockets when in fact it holds innocent people). We all regret when things like that happen (regardless of what you may hear on Al-Jazeera), and I know the Israeli army is doing its best to avoid these kind of errors.
When Israelis civilians are killed – it is a successful Hizbolla attack...
See the difference?
another need for help.

does anyone have an answer?
my answer is lets dig some tunnels of friendship..

"tunnels can secretly defy borders - let us deploy terrorist technologies of defiance and defy the hatred with tunnels of friendship"
Let’s play a short game of ‘what if’…
Let’s say tomorrow morning at 08:00 AM…
Israel will stop attacking Hezbollah.
Israel will leave forever the west bank and Gaza strip.
Israel will trade all terrorists in Israeli prisons for the three soldiers in Lebanon and Gaza.
What do you think Hezbollah and Hamas will do now?
Hint - Check out their manifesto (pay attention to the sections calling for the destruction of Israel).
No one wants to play my game?
john smith.. ur point is very valid.. but its not appropriate to play games about a matter that right now as we speak is causing devestation, displacement and death..
rather than basking in rhetoric - i urge you to apply your capable thinking abilities to more meaningful dialog.

"meaning dialog is a very powerful tool of peace"
Seeker,
I myself vote for the left-wing political parties in Israel. That means I support leaving forever the west bank, Gaza strip and of course Lebanon, giving up a HUGE piece of our country and taking a HUGE risk of allowing people who hate me from birth and have guns, to live 5 minutes from my home.
In the last few years, most of the Israeli public have shifted from the right-wing political parties to the center, seeking for a more peaceful solution.
BUT, while the west bank, Gaza strip or even the Golan heights can be discussed among Israelis with different opinions, NO ONE have any interest in Lebanon. What the hell do you think we want from Lebanon? We want NOTHING from Lebanon. Stop Hezbollah from shooting at our cities, and you will not hear from us in the next 500 years.
nasralla has just had a speech publicised.. the speech isnt live.. its come through al jazeera
we assures that the leadership has not been hurt and that the intense attack has not impacted him.. he denies the attack on the bunker..
he's promising many surprises to come.. he says his threats arent empty and he is pacing himself through the battle fields and attacks..
he is insisting that no one will be released by HA without israel releasing arabs.. he says that the outcome of this war is an outcome for the entire arab nation..
he appears to still be alive.. he appears really calm.. he has totally upgraded his studio appearance..
what an attack.. its like a missile from HA media to israeli psyche..
there you go guys.. more fog on this swamp..
wishing us all peace and an expedient end to this mess..

"peace in the east med sea"
Box said:
"i'm sick of your accusing me of being anti-semitic b/c i'm anti-israeli action in lebanon."
I agree with Box on that subject.
To the Lebanese guys on this site…
I myself don't speak Arabic and don't see Arabic television at all, but I have a few Arab friends at work that watch Al-Jazeera and CNN almost every night. I know Al-Jazeera is considered to be one of the most important television stations of the arab world, but I believe my Arab friends when they say “Al-Jazeera is nice, but if you want to hear the unhandled truth, go to CNN”.
I myself check out CNN once in a while for an objective news coverage (although I think the Israeli TV is almost there) and I think so should you.
good night people

"seeking peace in the east of the mediterranean"
Dasi;
I agree with you totally. As Franz Rosenzweig, the philosopher put it succinctly "God did not create religion. God created the world." The Jewish bible begins, not with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or Moses but with the creation of the universe and with the creation of Adam and Eve. Adam was not a Jew. Eve was not a Jew. Noah was not a Jew nor was Mrs. Noah.
Adam was every man - every woman, formed out of the dust of the earth (adamah) and God breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul.
The rabbis went on to ask from where and from what earth was Adam formed? And they answered "From the earth taken from the north, the east, the south and the west. Not from Jerusalem, Benares, Rome or even Encino or Beverly Hills. And from what was it drawn? From the soil: red, white, black and yellow. God did not create religion or denominations or clans. God created every human being in His image.
I can’t remember the Rabbi that wrote that treatise but even as a Chrisitan it is a valuable lesson for us all. Every religion in the area shares the same God and the same DNA and most of the same prophets, but just because you refuse to be subjected to their version you are marked for death.
History has taught us nothing. I love how they lay claim to lands; lets see Muslims are around for 1400 years, Isrealites around for 5000 years. Hmmmm!!!
To Z,
I didn't say I agree with Box’s view of the world. I only said I agree with Box about the anti-semitic definition. That means I don't think a person who objects to Israeli policy on Lebanon should be called anti-semitic. I think anti-semitic is a person who hates Israelis just because they are Jews.
al-Safir today (translated summary):
The syndicate of truck owners held an emergency meeting to discuss the IDF's targeting of trucks under the pretense that they are carrying weapons to Hizballah. They said the targeted trucks were transporting foodstuffs and building material to beseiged and cut-off regions in Lebanon. Some where standing empty in parking lots. The head of the syndicate said that they are in a state of emergency in light of their losses and the death of some of its members. With raids targeting transport trucks, there has also been worry about smaller vans and media transport vehicles.
Four trucks carrying plastic material, oil barrels, and manufacturing material from Kuwait were targeted in the Bekaa valley.
Fifteen empty trucks specialized in transporting cargo to and from Beirut port were targeted in Shwayfat.
Fifteen empty trucks awaiting cargo were targeted at the Beirut port.
Trucks carrying buiding material were targeted on the Jbil road.
A refrigerated truck exporting vegetables from Lebanon was targeted on Ta'nayel-Shtura road.
The trucks targeted on Camille Chamoun Boulevard were impounded by Lebanese police and standing empty in a parking lot.
A farm was shelled in Lucy and the owner Dib Barakat killed. He had unloaded his truck the night before.
Mara,
thank you.
Z?!?!?
Lebanese bloggers -> demonstration in support of Lebanon. "Thank you, Mara, for showing us support in difficult times." It is your country too, you know.
Anyway, now that I have seen the pictures...
Z,
7:16 comment. Sorry, I missed that. I just saw the link to another demonstration.
Picks of the day (21/7/2006):
Air raid and warships pounded a parking lot used to impound cars and trucks with traffic violations next to Mar Antonios Church in Hadath. Riyad Khalil Khouri (54 years) died. Zeina Ra'd (75 years), Hussein Na'im Ayyoub (67 years), and Ali Khalil Traboulsi (53 years) were injured and transferred to Heart of Jesus hospital. The church, as well as the neighboring houses and factories were severely damaged.
Warship also pounded factories in the Tiro area in Shwayfat.
In the southern suburbs, Hashim gas station, Jabr factory, and Jazeera restaurant were completely leveled. al-Manshia Mosque in the same area was shelled.
