07-21-06 - No, this is not 'our war' by Patrick J. Buchanan No, Kenny boy, we are not "all Israelis." Some of us still think of ourselves as Americans, first, last and always. And, no, Mr. Kristol, this is not "our war." It's your war.

07-21-06 - Israel gears up for ground war Israeli commanders plan to clear a 1.5km-wide zone on the Lebanese side of the border, where there are a series of well-fortified Hizbullah positions, a senior Israeli official said. Thousands of Israeli reservists were being called up.

07-21-06 - U.S. EXCLUSIVE: Syrian President Bashar Al-Asad on U.S. Foreign Policy, the Resistance in Iraq, Syrian-Lebanese Relations and More Israel occupied the Golan in 1967, and the United States, in spite of Security Council Resolutions 242, 338, has allowed that occupation to stand, as it has allowed the occupation of Palestinian territories to stand for the last 39 years. The United States allowed Israel to occupy Lebanon, Southern Lebanon, for 22 years, and occupy the Palestinian territories for 39 years. But yet our government has pushed Lebanon to implement UNSC resolution 1559 which called for an end to Syrian occupation thereof. To my knowledge, Israel has never implemented any of the scores of UN resolutions that she is in violation of. Nor has the US asked her to.
07-21-06 - More US warships off Lebanon The USS Trenton, the USS Whidbey Island and a chartered vessel called the Rahma were in line to bring out up to 4,200 people from Beirut over the course of the day Friday, said Colonel Gary Keck.

07-21-06 - Saddam pins war on Bush, pro-Israel lobby Saddam Hussein said in a letter released Friday that President Bush and pro- Israel groups lied to Americans to justify the Iraq war, and he added that Iran "and its agents" helped facilitate the aggression.
07-21-06 - Bush and Congress hardline support for Israel further isolates U.S.A. President George W. Bush's uncompromising support for Israel in its battle with Hezbollah, now backed by Congress, is threatening to isolate the United States even further from the rest of the world. It is also putting the administration at odds with governments in the Middle East that it is simultaneously trying to prop up and sowing increasing anger across the Arab world.
So then, how exactly is it in AMERICA's best interest to give unconditional support to Israel after it has engaged in the destruction of civilian life and infrastructure? When is the AMERICAN NATIONAL INTEREST ever going to be considered by American politicians, talk show hosts, and the MSM?

07-21-06 - America Held Hostage - It's day 10 ? and Israel is still threatening the lives of 25,000 Americans in Lebanon Individuals within the State Department, I am told, have been reluctant to create an impression that the Israeli assault on Lebanon is as bad as it is or that civilian U.S. citizens are being threatened by U.S. ally Israel

07-21-06 - To Israel: "You just want us all to die, and no one in the world seems to care"
07-21-06 - Analysis: could Israel face war crimes charges? "In principle a whole range of people from the Israeli Prime Minister, through senior generals down to air force or artillery gunners could be guilty of war crimes," Israeli forces napalmed US sailors, and when they were done doing that they then torpedoed that ship in an attack by air and by sea that lasted for 75 minutes. They committed war crimes in the process that have gone unpunished to this day. This attack, and the behavior by the US government and by the American media prove something crucial: that America is Israeli-occupied territory. Israel can kill Americans and get away with it. And again.
07-21-06 - US State Dept.: You're on Your Own
07-21-06 - On the spot: Lebanese dead lie in rubble You won't find these stories in the mainstream media in America. Why is that? Because the Israeli lobby and its sympathizers or those it has coerced therein want you to believe that Israel is targeting Hezbollah only. This is clearly not the case.

07-21-06 - 'Why is there not a murmur of protest from Washington?' It is the height of hypocrisy for the Bush administration to make so much effort to find the killers of Hariri, and then stand back and do nothing when hundreds of Lebanese civilians are massacred by Israel.
07-21-06 - 'Hizbullah is doing more for our cause than any Arab government has ever done'
07-21-06 - The Israel Resolution by Rep. Ron Paul of TX It is very easy to criticize the Government of Lebanon for not doing more about Hezbollah. I object to terrorism committed by Hezbollah because I am a strong opponent to all violence on all sides. But I also object to the unreasonable accusations that the Government of Lebanon has not done enough, when we realize that Israel occupied southern Lebanon for 18 years and was not able to neutralize Hezbollah. Ron Paul - one of the good guys.
07-21-06 - Pro-Israeli media 'watchdog' CAMERA goes on the rampage The 7-minute interview by NPR of Mearsheimer and Walt, the authors of the study "The Israel Lobby", has CAMERA's BVDs in a bunch. The interview was, according to CAMERA, an indulgence in "anti-Israel and anti-Jewish defamation". Findley is called rabidly anti-Israel, and they played the David Duke card at the end there. In short, the Israeli lobby proved Mearsheimer and Walt right ONCE MORE.
07-21-06 - Kerry on Rush and Israel - Idea that Republicans back Jewish state ruffles senator The two parties jostle to show which of them is more loyal to Israel.
07-21-06 - Iron Maiden Singer Airlifts 200 Beirut Evacuees
07-21-06 - Why Hezbollah is Winning... So Far In the short run, the question may be which runs out first, Hezbollah?s supply of rockets or the world?s patience with Israel bombing the helpless state of Lebanon. If the latter continues much longer, the Lebanese government may collapse, undoing one of America?s few recent successes in the Islamic world.
07-21-06 - In Russia, linking of Jewish issues with democracy is no longer a given "It is certain that the authorities are trying to limit the influence from abroad played by various non-governmental organizations, although fears that this might somehow affect Jewish organizations have not materialized yet," Does Russia seek to block the presence of a strong pro-Israeli lobby (like the one in the US)?
07-21-06 - Clinton, Dole urge MDA kudos Two U.S. senators introduced a resolution congratulating Israel?s emergency medical response service for gaining membership in the International Red Cross. We need legislation for THIS? Preposterous.
07-21-06 - Protests against Israel in Berlin, Cairo and Amman
07-21-06 - Arab world deeply split over Hezbollah Key Arab allies of the United States, predominantly Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, fear the rising power of Shiites in the region: Hezbollah militants who virtually control southern Lebanon, Iraq's majority Shiite government, and - most worrisome - the Shiite theocracy that has run Iran for decades.....On Thursday, Iraqis staged an anti-Israel protest with banners reading "Shiites and Sunnis unite" in the city of Samarra, where the bombing of a Shiite shrine in February brought the country to the brink of civil war.

07-21-06 - Few Editorials Find Fault with the Bombing of Beirut The editorial response is all the more scandalous because this is not some distant conflict where America is merely a third party. The U.S. is Israel?s prime (sometimes virtually its only) major ally, and the funder or producer of much of the armaments landing on Lebanon ? though you?d never know of this special link from reading most of these editorials.
07-21-06 - Reports Aussies injured in Lebanon, DFAT investigates I wonder how many Americans have been injured or killed in Israel's attack on Lebanon? You can be sure, if there are such casualties, our media will totally ignore them.
07-21-06 - An Open Letter to American Churches Regarding the Escalating Conflict in the Middle East "Christian" Ruth Lautt would appear to be justifying the killing of civilians. It's not very "Christian" of you, "Sr". It has slipped from the dear "Sr."'s attention that Israel has fired on those civilians that Israel has told to flee - killing children in the process.
