No hyperbola, you are seeing people who are literate in historical facts of which you deny. It's not unusual for sick minds to ignore the facts as the rest of the intelligent world knows them. But then again, some people just need Google to foster their stupidity. They can't do it on their own because they don't have the resources or the ability. HOW SAD for Hyperbola. BTW, please show us all CREDIBLE, RECOGNIZED historical evidence that Israel coveted southern Lebanon. You can't because it doesn't exist. No credible historian would ever make that claim and I know that for a fact since I attend most of the international historical conferences.
Poor Edmar. Been swallowing the zionist "master race" and "living space" propaganda for so long that he has simply become another nazi. Of course, the zionist always were more or less the same as the nazis in their ideology (and even killed jews for their racism). that is why knowledgable, moral jews detest you zionist killers edmar.
51 Documents:
Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis
..There are six selections re Zionism's relationship to anti-Semitism and racism prior to Hitler. The 51 documents, including 35 letters, memos, articles, and reports by Zionists, are from the Hitler era and after...
Zionism convicts itself. On June 21, 1933, the German Zionist Federation sent a secret memorandum to the Nazis:
"Zionism believes that a rebirth of national life, such as is occurring in German life through adhesion to Christian and national values, must also take place in the Jewish national group. For the Jew, too, origin, religion, community of fate and group consciousness must be of decisive significance in the shaping of his life. This means that the egotistic individualism which arose in the liberal era must be overcome by public spiritedness and by willingness to accept responsibility."
...Zionist factions competed for the honor of allying to Hitler. By 1940-41, the "Stern Gang," among them Yitzhak Shamir, later Prime Minister of Israel, presented the Nazis with the "Fundamental Features of the Proposal of the National Military Organization in Palestine (Irgun Zvai Leumi) Concerning the Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe and the Participation of the NMO in the War on the Side of Germany."
Avraham Stern and his followers announced that:
1. Common interests could exist between the establishment of a new order in Europe in conformity with the German concept, and the true national aspirations of the Jewish people as they are embodied by the NMO.
2. Cooperation between the new Germany and a renewed folkish-national Hebraium would be possible and,
3. The establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East.
Proceeding from these considerations, the NMO in Palestine, under the condition the above-mentioned national aspirations of the Israeli freedom movement are recognized on the side of the German Reich, offers to actively take part in the war on Germany's side."
They hanged people all over Europe after WW II for notes to the Nazis like these. But these treasons against the Jews were virtually unknown in the run up to the creation of the Zionist state in May 1948....
Jews and other Americans still know little of Zionism's sordid past. But today only programed fanatics can come away pro-Zionist after reading plain facts....

You get negged because of your spam, because you post the same trash on every thread and because what you post is totally irrelevant to the violence in Lebanon.
Rubbish, the zionists have been attacking Lebanon and attempting to foment division there for 60 years. The shame is that racist zionists in our own government are now committing treason to continue these zionist crimes against humanity. This latest round is between lebanese patriots and those who would sell out their country to be israeli and american puppets. You are peddling typical "zionist mechanisms of denial" again.
Then how come Lebanon was such a great city until the 70's? No one forced the Lebanese to be a FOB for the PLO to act against Israel. Israel would just assume leave Lebanon in Peace. Israel would like nothing better then to have a stable, peaceful, economically secure neighbor to its north.

Very simple way to achieve that - and perhaps the ONLY way that jews will have any security in the mideast. Take the Palestinian refugees back and create a single, democratic state for all palestinians whether jews, christian or moslems.
Really think that Israel can survive in the midst of 400 million arabs (700 million in 15-20 years) if the zionists continue with their terrorism? Maybe you like killing jews?
Oren Ben-Dor: Who are the real terrorists in the Middle East?
..What exactly is being defended by the violence in Gaza and Lebanon? Is it the citizens of Israel or the nature of the Israeli state? I suggest the latter. Israel's statehood is based on an unjust ideology which causes indignity and suffering for those who are classified as non-Jewish by either a religious or ethnic test.
To hide this primordial immorality, Israel fosters an image of victimhood. Provoking violence, consciously or unconsciously, against which one must defend oneself is a key feature of the victim-mentality. By perpetuating such a tragic cycle, Israel is a terrorist state like no other.
Many who wish to hide the immorality of the Israeli state do so by restricting attention to the horrors of the post-1967 occupation and talking about a two-state solution, since endorsing a Palestinian state implicitly endorses the ideology behind a Jewish one.
The very creation of Israel required an act of terror. In 1948, most of the non-Jewish indigenous people were ethnically cleansed from the part of Palestine which became Israel. This action was carefully planned. Without it, no state with a Jewish majority and character would have been possible.
Since 1948, the "Israeli Arabs", those Palestinians who avoided expulsion, have suffered continuous discrimination. Indeed, many have been internally displaced, ostensibly for "security reasons", but really to acquire their lands for Jews.
... To sustain that mentality and to preserve an impression of victimhood among outsiders, Israel must breed conditions for violence. Whenever prospects of violence against it subside, Israel must do its utmost to regenerate them: the myth that it is a peace-seeking victim which has "no partner for peace" is a key panel in the screen with which Israel hides its primordial and continuing immorality.
..The truth is that there never could have been a partition of Palestine by ethically acceptable means. Israel was created through terror and it needs terror to cover-up its core immorality.
Whenever there is a glimmer of stability, the state orders a targeted assassination, such as that in Sidon which preceded the current Lebanon crisis, knowing well that this brings not security but more violence. Israel's unilateralism and the cycle of violence nourish one another.
Silence about the immoral core of Israeli statehood makes us all complicit in breeding the terrorism that threatens a catastrophe which could tear the world apart.
Nov 27, 2001 - Etty Fahima, 45, of Netzer Hazani was killed three others were injured when a Palestinian terrorist threw grenades and opened fire at a convoy on the road between the Kissufim crossing and Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday evening. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.

A planned shooting attack in Afula by youths 13, 14 and 16 years old. The three, who were from Tubas (northeast of Nablus), were arrested on 26 February 2004 at an army roadblock near Jenin, with improvised pistols in their possession. They revealed during their interrogation that they were on the way to carry out a shooting attack in Afula. The oldest one (16) told that the Islamic Jihad of Palestine recruited him and that he recruited the other two boys. According to an AP report from Nablus, the three left a letter in which they requested that no one mourn for them if they were killed because they would become shaheeds. In the letter, two of the boys identified themselves as members of the Fatah/el-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and the third as a member of the Islamic Jihad of Palestine. The families and senior PA officials condemned the sending of the boys to perpetrate the attack
A planned suicide bombing by a 17-year-old male: on 11 January 2004, Ayad Belal el-Masri, a high school student from Nablus, blew himself up near IDF soldiers in the vicinity of Jinspot, east of Qalqilya. The soldiers were not injured. The youth, who was alone and equipped with an explosive belt, was sent to perpetrate a suicide bombing in Israel, but lost his way, saw the soldiers and blew himself up (panicked? detonated the belt by mistake?). The Fatah/el-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and the Islamic Jihad of Palestine both claimed responsibility for the act. The boy's death was criticized by his family and by the Palestinian media
The attempted smuggling of munitions with the aid of boys aged 11-14 years: On 12 February 2004, a group of four teenagers tried to cross the border into Egypt from the Palestinian side of Rafah, in an attempt to smuggle munitions into Israel from Egypt. The youths were recruited by the smugglers in exchange for a paltry sum. One of the boys was slightly injured by IDF shooting, and the other three were arrested by the IDF and taken in for questioning. It should be noted that in the area in which the youths were apprehended, there is an extensive smuggling network run by terrorist organizations that use teenagers for smuggling as well as for digging the tunnels through which arms and explosives are smuggled.

Fatah and the Islamic Jihad claimed joint responsibility.
Dec 1, 2001 - Assaf Avitan, 15, of Jerusalem; Michael Moshe Dahan, 21, of Jerusalem; Israel Ya'akov Danino, 17, of Jerusalem; Yosef El-Ezra, 18, of Jerusalem; Sgt.

Video - Shows Casualties Of Israel's Attack On Palestinian Civilians
Beit Hanoun Massacre
Here are just some of the victims of Israel's attack on Palestinian civilians. The U.S. has vetoed a UN resolution condemning the the attack.
Please note: this video contains images of women and children killed by the Israeli state with U.S. weapons in Beit Hanoun, the Gaza Strip, in violation of the Arms Export Control Act (specifically, Ttitle 22, Chapter 39, Subchapter III § 2778 c). ...
The use of children and youth by terrorist organizations to carry out attacks, including suicide bombings, is well known. As part of the practice of including them in violent activities and in terror-supporting operations, children and youth are sent to participate in demonstrations and in confrontations with the army (at times they are taken out of school for this purpose). Terrorist groups also use them for smuggling, digging tunnels, spying and intelligence-gathering. The terrorists exploit their innocent appearance, which allows them to pass more easily through IDF roadblocks and to approach soldiers and Israeli settlements, the fact that they are easy to influence and recruit because of their tender age and the intensive incitement to which they have been exposed, and the tendency of Israeli soldiers to refrain from harming children and youth.
Salah Shehada, who was one of the leaders of the Hamas in Gaza, stated in an interview (on the website Islam On-line, 26 May 2002), that children should be properly trained before they are sent on a mission and that they should be recruited into a special unit of the military arm of the Hamas in order to instill in them the culture of military jihad and to teach them to distinguish between good and evil.
Dr. Padhl Abu Hin, a psychology lecturer, was interviewed on this subject for a television movie entitled "Child Patriots and a Martyrs' Death". He noted that the Palestinian child understands that, by means of the shahada (a martyrs' death for the sake of Allah), through the perpetration of attacks, he/she can win honor and appreciation, without life being ended. [The concept of] Shahada, according to him, encourages children to take an active part in the conflict against Israel (Palestinian TV, 27 June 2002).
30 April: A suicide bomber attacks a popular cafe in Tel Aviv, just hours after a new Palestinian cabinet wins approval under Abu Mazen who has pledged to crack down on militants. At least four people including the bomber are killed and dozens more injured.
24 April: An Israeli security guard is killed as he confronts a Palestinian suicide bomber outside a railway station in the town of Kfar Saba.
5 March: A powerful bomb blast ripped through a bus in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, killing at least 15 people. About 40 people were wounded, some of them seriously, in the explosion.
5 January: At least 23 people are killed and 100 wounded when two suicide attackers set off charges in crowded, parallel and adjacent streets during rush hour in Tel Aviv, echoing an attack in July 2001.
Rasha el-Rantissi, wife of Abed el-Aziz el-Rantissi, told the Arab media that she is educating her children to resistance and jihad. She added, "I hope that my husband, my children and I will receive the shahada so that we may prove that we are the first to sacrifice our children for Allah;" "Allah is generous with us, because our children die as fighters, and we wait with them for death for Allah's sake any minute" (el-Bian, 16 June 2003)
The families of the three teenagers sent to carry out a shooting attack in Afula (26 February 2004) and senior PA officials expressed anger at the dispatching of the boys. Palestinian minister Saab Ariqat said (AP, Nablus), "Our children should be our hope and future; they must not turn into suicide terrorists. We want them to be doctors or engineersâ;¦" The family of one of the boys, Tarek Abu Mahsan, were infuriated that the Islamic Jihad of Palestine recruited the three for a mission that would almost certainly have led to their deaths. Regarding the letter left by the three, the boy's mother, Amira Abu Mahsan, noted that "my son doesn't know how to write a letter like that and has never belonged to one of the organizations. Some grownup wrote the letter for him" (AP, Nablus).
The family of Ayad el-Masri, a 17-year-old student killed near Jinspot, published an unusual announcement in the newspaper el-Ayyam (14 January 2002) demanding an investigation of the circumstances of their son's death. The family expressed their opposition to sending their son on the mission, described his death as "a senseless death that raises legitimate questions" and claimed that their son "was sent to carry out a hopeless suicide attack, the consequences of which were known from the outset."
This teenager's death near Jinspot stimulated sharply critical articles in the Palestinian media. For example, Hafet el-Barghouti, the editor of the daily PA newspaper el-Hyat el-Jadeeda (16 January 2002) noted that the circumstances of el-Masri's death "raise anew the question of recruiting people in their teens, when it is known that the prophet Mohammed himself refused to recruit young boys for his raids..."
Hyperbola is absolutely so ingrained in hate that it has affected her mind. Her stupidity is only surpassed by her ignorance. Anybody that actually believes that the Zionists in Palestine collaborated with the Nazis is living on another planet. If she weren't so laughable, you could almost feel sorry for her. The world is littered with stupid people who rewrite history because they can't tolerate that the facts don't support their viewpoint. Hyperbola uses obscure website with little or no credibility to promote her points. In most cases, she just makes herself look as foolish as the articles that she uses to foster her misinformation. The fortunate side of all of Hyperbola's obsessiveness is that the majority of the people on this site are more intelligent than she is. I'm sure that there are articles just waiting to be found by Hyperbola that claim that the Moslems discovered America in the 8th century. And she can prove it with her web articles.

West Bank Bantustan
Since the only Palestinian 'state' the current peace process can deliver is another Gaza-style enclave, this upsurge of violence is hardly encouraging..
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/articl...
On 23-24 April 2002, three Palestinian schoolchildren from Gaza aged 12 to 14 attempted to enter Netzarim for the purpose of carrying out a suicide attack there. On the Hamas website (24 February 2002) it was revealed that these youths were sent by the Hamas following the decision to conduct a jihad against the Jews. Their deaths aroused resentment at the time among the residents of Gaza, who began to be concerned about their children in Gazan schools; special lessons were devoted to combating this phenomenon. In January 2003, against the background of the criticism that arose following the attempted infiltration of Elei Sinai by three youths armed with knives, senior Hamas officials spoke out against using teenagers to perpetrate attacks.
