(February 7, 2010) “…Excuse me, but before Israel invaded Lebanon, Lebanon invaded Israel. The fighting began when Arabs, presumably citizens of Lebanon, Hezbollahi, Party of God members whose party today is a member of the government, launched rockets at Israeli border towns as a diversion for an anti-tank missile attack on two armored Humvees patrolling the Israeli side of the border fence. Of the seven Israeli soldiers in the two vehicles, two were wounded, five were killed and the bodies of two of the dead were taken to Lebanon. Five more were killed in a failed Israeli rescue attempt. That’s ten dead IDF soldiers and two “POWS” taken back across the line. And only after that did Israel, as the AP states, invade Lebanon. Then the AP went on to say the Community Security Trust reported that there were extreme reactions to the conflict in Gaza when “Israeli forces invaded…in 2008…and that it was a “three-week assault.””And I ask you, in this run-of-the-mill news story, who is invading these days, who is assaulting these days?
“Why, Israel of course is here cited twice for invading, first Lebanon, then Gaza. Not a whisper of Lebanon’s initial invasion of Israel or the eight years of rockets into Jewish homes and streets, and the lost of life and limb and expense; the cost to the Jews amounting to millions…” |
