5. here's a link
Hezbollah rocket hits West Bank 7 minutes ago



JERUSALEM - Hezbollah guerrillas fired more than 300 rockets from Lebanese border towns into northern Israel on Wednesday, Lebanese security officials said, including one that hit the West Bank for the first time.

Israel medics said that rocket hit near the town of Beit Shean, about 42 miles from the border and the deepest rocket strike into Israel so far. Witnesses said the rocket struck between the West Bank villages of Fakua and Jalboun, causing no injuries.

Israeli police and rescue services said at least 84 rockets were fired by Hezbollah at towns across northern Israel. The Israeli reports said at least seven people were wounded.

The discrepancy in the number of launches could not immediately be reconciled.

3. Israel crosses border, captures civilians= "daring raid"
Hizbollah crosses border, captures soldiers = kidnapping provocation

Nevermind that Israel used helicopters and massive fire power to invade 60 miles in sovereign territory and Hizbollah crossed border within yards of their own area to capture 2 soldiers who had crossed over and discovered their hideout. Israel raided a hospital and took captives and this is supposed to be a daring, brave raid? Without their massive gun power and US supplied-air power and tanks, Israel would be a bunch of cowering marauders.

16. Eh?
Hezbollah firing a missile that lands in an empty field in the West Bank stirs the Palestinians against Hamas how?

17. He's Implying
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 06:52 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
He's implying the Israelis surreptitiously sent an errant bomb into the West Bank in the hope or expectation that the Palestinians will think Hamas did it. I think he meant Hezbollah.

18. Uh, then why not surreptitiously blow up a building full of children...
...with cancer? Why destroy a field? This makes no sense. Hell, trying to make the Palestinians mad at Hezbollah doesn't even make any sense. It's just another fucking case of viewing everything as an Israeli plot of some kind, even with no evidence pointing in that direction.

The real atrocity here is the hundreds of dead civilians in Lebanon and Israel.
