Arab Opinion Shifts in Favor of Hezbollah

it is my opinion that the new york times under reports progress and over reports downfalls in an attemp to further a liberal agenda. I cant prove it, it is just an opinion.

by the way, thank you for not celebating the deaths of others.

Bushie!  Doin' a helluva job!
Iraq:  Total Fraud, Total Failure - before the first shot.

didn't see the missiles smuggled in. that gives israel the right to target and kill them. so jfrogg is a terrorist.

you neocons understand that disagreeing with someone's irrational and incompetent approach to a problem doesn't mean you hate the people doing it or that you automatically support the other side.

You guys really need to listen to someone other than limbaugh, hannity or o'reilly from time to time.

There is no real American that is in support any terroristic organization. Bush is not the USA he is merely a temporarily elected official that should be putting the nation's best interest ahead of his corporatist and religious fundamentalists lobbyists.

Your arguments are ridiculous. It is like saying that if I disagree that green beans are good for you I am in favor of malnutrition or I hate the person that said green beans were good for me. Please grow up and for once use the brain that God gave you.

These acts of terrorism, along with others, have been documented in various publications,

I will give you a few, to start with, and do some of your own reseach as well...

Haganah militiamen expel Palestinian Arabs from Haifa, April 1948. (Agence France Presse)

On July 11, 1948, Aharon Cohen, director of the Arab Affairs Department of the socialist-Zionist Mapam party in Israel, received a carbon copy of a military intelligence report. Israel, a state less than two months old, was embroiled in a war with neighboring Arab states that would last until 1949. The document in Cohen’s hands analyzed the reasons for the flight of 240,000 Palestinian Arabs from areas which had been allocated to the Jewish state by the November 1947 UN partition plan and another 150,000 from the Jerusalem region and areas allocated to the Arab state. Cohen was upset to read the report’s conclusion that 70 percent of these Arabs had fled due to “direct, hostile Jewish operations against Arab settlements

Actions

As a group that never had over a hundred members, Lehi relied on audacious but small-scale operations to bring their message home, as such they described themselves as a terrorist group and adopted the tactics of groups such as the IRA, who had successfully used guerrilla warfare to force the British out of the Southern Republic of Ireland back in the 1920s. To this end, Lehi conducted small-scale operations such as assassinations of British soldiers and police officers and, on occasion, Jewish "collaborators". Another strategy, (1947) was to send bombs in the mail to many British politicians. Other actions included sabotaging infrastructure targets: bridges, railroads, and oil refineries. Lehi financed their operations from private donations, extortion, and bank robbery.

Assassination of Lord Moyne
Further information: Lord Moyne#Assassination
In November 6, 1944 Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne in Cairo. Moyne was the highest ranking British government representative in the region and was directly responsible for blocking Europe's Jews from reaching Palestine during the Holocaust. The assassination act rocked the British government, and outraged Winston Churchill the British Prime Minister. The two young assassins, Eliahu Bet-Zouri and Eliahu Hakim were captured and used their trial as a platform to make public their struggle for freedom to the world. Although rejected by the official Zionist leadership and enraging the British authorities, their dignified behavior and bold statements publicized their cause to the West and even won them the sympathy of Egyptian Muslim students. The two boys refused to ask mercy from a court they did not recognize and were each sentenced to death by hanging. When asked by their hangman why they appeared to be in such high spirits before their death, Hakim answered that they were "smiling to the next generation that would see a Jewish flag over Jerusalem". Like all Irgun and Lehi prisoners sentenced to death in those years, both sang Hatikva (the Zionist anthem) directly prior to their execution.

Assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte

UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte was assassinated by Lehi in Jerusalem in 1948.
Further information: Folke Bernadotte#Assassinated in Jerusalem by Lehi
September 17, 1948, Lehi assassinated the UN Mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, who had been sent to broker a settlement in the dispute. The assassination was directed by Yehoshua Zetler and carried out by a four-man team led by Meshulam Markover. The fatal shots were fired by Yehoshua Cohen. Lehi leaders Nathan Yellin-Mor and Matitiahu Schmulevitz were arrested two months after the murder. Most of the suspects involved were released immediately and all of them were granted general amnesty on the 14th of February, 1949.

We all know who hijacks the most plains, but i think he was trying to point out that it takes two sides to fight, a very valid point. I hate to break it down to a 10 year olds mentality, but hezbollah started it this time. Lebanon was given the chance to take care of the problem, but they chose to ignore u.n. mandates, much like saddam did. Perhaps if lebanon wouldve reported 13 thousand rockets being smuggled in the problem could have been taken care of much earlier.

the first one is more of a classic hijacking or should I say hijacking attempt by a mexican national. The outcome is great justice worthy of a TV movie.

The second is more in line of what McBard is talking about. Not a classic, but a hijjacking nonetheless.
