		<description>American servicemen on Tarawa didn’t wear knitted balaclavas, Ray.

Check your facts.

The Litani River is now 40% lower than it was in early summer of 2006 as a direct result of all those IDF infantrymen returning to Israel with buckets of water.</description>

		<description>Talk about dishonest, Jaime! Are there no limits to the depths to which you will descend in your efforts to decieve? The photo you show is of an American seriviceman on Tarawa Island in the South Pacific during WW II. Tarawa is a long ways from the mideast and the Litani River. Who did you think you were fooling?</description>

		<description>CORRECTION!!!!!!

As DV's Associated Press's Middle East Bureau Chief Ray Ralph pointed out.... THE REAL MISSION of the IDF in Lebanon in 2006 was to STEAL the Litani River for Israel.

Please note this photo: 
http://img106.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=35759_bucket_122_980lo.jpg

Caption: IDF Soldiers entering Lebanon in 2006 were all issued buckets with which to empty the Litani River. The water was packed back to Israel and poured into Lake Kinneret.</description>

		<description>Oh geez, I'm sorry! I didn't know that Ray Ralph is the  Middle Bureau Chief for Associated Press.

Until now I just thought he was another DV crank.</description>

		<description>The Associate Press story got its information from Israeli sources. In other words, it accepted as true a dubious piece of Israeli propaganda. What is common knowledge, Jaime, is that the IDF got its butt kicked by Hezbollah in 2006 and had to retreat. Why can't you accept the truth?</description>

		<description>This is stupid.

It's common knowledge that the IDF reached the Litani during the 2006  Lebanon war, and that they pulled out as they were replaced by French UN troops.  Hezbollah did not "drive them out."

 The first story that I excerpted concerning this  was from ASSOCIATED PRESS which not an Israeli source. 

Why can't Ray accept that this happened?</description>

		<description>The photo, Jaime, also comes from the IDF. The stream the IDF is crossing could be anywhere. Who says it is the Litani? Who knows when the photo was taken? The IDF is the source.  They are even bigger fibbers than you!! And you believe such obvious propaganda. I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Are you interested?</description>

		<description>Jaime, All of the reports you cite are based on the dubious claim by the IDF (who, like you, are notorious "fibbers," to say the least) that a few of them actually reached the Litani River before being driven out by Hezbollah. There are no idependent and trustworthy sources (apart from Israeli propaganda, which only the very naive ever believe) who can verify that the IDF actually reached the Litani. With the Israeli government's long  record of lies and deception, why should anyone believe them? However, the fact that the Zionist state wasn't able to steal the Litani's precious water from Lebanon in 2006 does not mean that Israel has abandoned this nefarious goal. They will find another pretext. As for you, Jaime, stop "fibbing." Your nose must be longer than Pinochio's.</description>

		<description>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litani_offensive

The Operation Changing Direction 11was the final push by the Israeli Defense Forces during the 2006 Lebanon War that began on August 11, 2006, and ended 3 days later when the ceasefire came into effect. It involved a major force entering Lebanon that reached as far as the Litani river, and aimed to clear the area of Southern Lebanon of Hezbollah militants as best as possible before the ceasefire began.

The Israel Defense Forces 162nd Armor Division, also known as the "Ha-Plada"/"Steel" Formation, is a regular-service armor division in the IDF. 
Although attached to the Central Command, the 162nd Division participated in battles against Hezbollah, from July to August 2006, in the western sector of southern Lebanon and north of Bint Jbail. The division reached the strategic Litani River, that separates Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon from central Lebanon.</description>

I belive it was you, actually, who said this:

IDF reaches Litani River

AP  (as in ASSOCIATED PRESS)

    JERUSALEM - Israeli army units reached the Litani River on Saturday, less than 24 hours after the government ordered an operation to march toward the river in a final push against entrenched Hezbollah guerrillas, Israel Radio reported.

    The units were part of a massive force that flooded into Lebanon, trying to seize as much territory as possible before a U.N. cease-fire comes into effect. The objective was to control southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, about 18 miles from the Israeli border, before handing over the area to the Lebanese army and U.N. troops.</description>

		<description>Jaime, I said that anyone informed enough to have an opinion worth listening to knows that Israel started their failed but brutally murderous 2006 war to steal the Litani River but they never got that far (Hezbollah prevented it).  You obviously are not one of the people who is informed enough to have an opinion worth listening to. In fact, you are the one who is "dreaming" (is that just another name for "fibbing") when you say that the IDF did get as far north as the Litani.  Why do you continue to post here when you clearly almost always do not know what you are talking about? Why are the ignoramuses like you always the loudest and foulest mouths?</description>

		<description>A recent report (only a day or so ago) by the Israeli Peace-Now-Movement indicated that according to a study carried out in Israel, ONE-THIRD of Israeli settlements in the west bank was built on private Palestinian lands. The israeli army first took the land from its owners for security reasons, then handed it over to Zionist Agencies for settlement purposes. The term MAFIA fits like a glove.</description>

		<description>MaryB, desecration of  anybody's graveyard is a criminal act.  And if such a thing occured I hope they catch the perps and bring them to justice. The  "peace" I'm interested in is 2 states Israel and Palestine living  side by side.  

Unfortunately, the Hamas bozos are less interested in establishing a state for themselves then they are at trying to exterminate Israel. Notice how since  the Israelis left 2005 everything has gone downhill for them? You look at news photos and videos of Gaza. It's a mess. They won't collect garbage or provide basic services. 
Just hate hate hate.

Ray,  the Israelis don't want the Litani River. You're dreaming in technicolor. In 2006 they pushed the Hez. forces  back to the Litani, then returned to Israel. Now the area is at least theoretically  patrolled by UN peacekeeping troops.

Where did you get your information for that little gem?</description>

		<description>Jaime says "Everybody knows that Hezbollah started the war." Baloney!! I don't "know" any such thing.  Anybody informed enough to have an opinion worth listening to knows that water-starved Israel started the war in order to grab the Litani River and divert its water to Israel. They still have not given up on this attempted theft. Dropping the million of cluster bombs, in violation of  International Law (yes, Jaime, it was a war "crime"), was an attempt to make the area around the Litani unliveable and thus further facilitate Israel's plans.</description>

Jaime,
The only “peace” you’re interested in is the peace of a Palestinian graveyard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was a comment on an article on this site written by Professor Makdisi entitled 'The Strangulation of Gaza'.  The statement about the peace of a Palestinian graveyard isn't even true. On Uruknet today there is a piece about such a graveyard being desecrated.

February 17, 2008
NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Aqsa foundation for the reconstruction of Islamic holy shrines strongly denounced Sunday the Jewish fanatics who assaulted the Islamic Hirbij cemetery in the Ibten town in the Palestinian lands occupied in 1948 and smashed many gravestones, considering this act as a desecration of the living and the dead Muslims.

The foundation stated that it would be working soon on refurbishing the smashed gravestones and fencing the graveyard.

A Palestinian citizen who works as a janitor near the graveyard discovered this assault and told the Ibten people who in their turn called the Haifa police to conduct its investigations.

This is the third assault on the graveyard in the last two years, where Jewish extremists had previously written slurs on the graves against Arabs and Muslims and the Haifa police investigated into the assault but to no avail.</description>
