Why, if they (via the neocons) can get America to do it for them?
08-26-06 - Disarming Hezbollah put on hold ISRAEL has dropped its demand for the immediate disarming of Hezbollah and begun to focus on persuading UN forces to stop the flow of weapons into Lebanon...."It is not that we have given up on disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon, but we see it as a process and the most important thing is ? to prevent their strategic rearmament," So that the US can attack Iran and not have fear that Hezbollah will in turn fire volleys of rockets at Israel?

08-26-06 - Appeasement and War on Iran If Israel failed, the risk was that Hizbullah would be strengthened and Israel weakened. Now that Israel has lost and Hizbullah won, the loss has exposed Israel?s weak and vulnerable position. Israel is surrounded by foes with renewed spirit and hope. That fact alone may ensure some blitzkrieg type of attack by the US and/or Israel on Syria or Iran - in an attempt to restore the image of military might and dominance in the region. Neither Israel nor this administration can accept an image of weakness in that part of the world.
08-26-06 - Abbas: Pleased that Israelis prefer negotiations
08-26-06 - How Washington Goaded Israel Into War A July 23 article in Haaretz about an anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv noted that "this was a distinctly anti-American protest" that included "chants of 'We will not die and kill in the service of the United States," That's rich, ain't it? Because they demand we do the such when they continuously lobby and even demand that our government take out their enemies for them. Steve Zunes is a known apologist for Israel, despite the fact he is a critic thereof. He still refuses to lay any blame on that nation.
08-26-06 - German sub delivery postponed Two new submarines which Israel would receive under a deal it signed with Germany last month, will only start being delivered in 2010, German government spokesman Thomas Steg said Friday.

08-26-06 - Fr Jaeger: Christians and Jews supporting Church-Israel relations it must be admitted that neither Agreement has been made into Israeli law, and specifically, most of all, that the "Fundamental Agreement" itself - in spite of the many years that have passed since its signature and ratification - has not been made into Israeli law. Even more perplexingly, the government itself - as is well known by now - has officially informed Israel's Supreme Court that it did not recognize the "Fundamental Agreement" as binding. This has made the Agreement useless in practice, since the Church and Catholic organisations cannot rely on it in their day-to-day dealings with the State and society In short, Israel failed to stick to the agreement with the Catholic Church, among others. What a surprise.
