Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Beri Monday demonstrated precisely why Israel’s offensive against Hizb’allah must continue unabated for the time being.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Beirut Monday to present a ceasefire deal that would see an immediate bilateral cessation of hostilities, followed by the insertion of an international force into southern Lebanon tasked with removing Hizb’allah arms from the area.
Israel has already signalled its readiness to accept a new international force (preferably NATO-led) in Lebanon, and the withdrawal (if not total disarmament) of Hizb’allah north of the Litani River.
But Beri, a Hizb’allah ally, rejected the deal outright, apparently preferring a continuation of hostilities to seeing his terrorist buddies de-fanged. I wonder if his Lebanese constituents would back that position?
Beri did not close the door completely. He said the world could have its ceasefire, but on the aggressor’s terms: Israel halts its offensive immediately; Israel agrees to swap thousands of jailed terrorists for its two abducted soldiers; the world backs off while Lebanon alone decides whether or not a terrorist organization is allowed to rule its southern regions.
Sounds like Israel needs to eliminate a few more bad guys before they get the message.

Another “Deal” that we are supposed to accept without discussions!
Sounds like a threat mate!
I agree with you, another reason why the fight should continue! It has only started!
Your statement is proof of the arrogance and ingnorance of the Israelis who think that the middle east is now theirs……..
Go in peace my friend, back to the gemans, they gave you change for your money, I promise you one thing, we will fight, but never do what they did, so if you have the courage go on fight!

Israel may not alway be the best behaved bunch of folks,
but hey, if you really can’t tolerate them, make yourselves happy. Give’em all you’ve got. See what happens.
Hatred for Israel is like a whipping stick for a naughty little boy. When the whipping is done, the stick is put away, and foolishness is driven far from the boy.

Hizbollah is putting up a good fight but will be minced by us if no one comes to rescue them as they did in many Wars before.
This time that organization must be destroyed, if not as all bad weeds it will come back.

It is time to pray Psalms 68 and 83 “Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!

Salah, stop fighting God and His design to bless the world through His chosen people, Israel. It’s a losing battle, so snap out of your delusions.
Also, I prefer Chinese food over metal. You ought to try it some time.

In the end, good always triumphs over evil. Hizbullah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, and all terrorist organizations over the world will be punished however G-d sees fit.

Lebanon will like the world to fight it’s battle.
Abbas tried it in Gaza. It failed there and it will fail here.
Lebanon is really part of Syria and they want it back..

“Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: “If this fixed order departs from before Me,” declares the LORD, “Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
Salah, you and all the Arabs are going about things all wrong, instead of attacking Israel you should be attacking the sun, moon and the stars!!! One day soon the ancient Arabian moon god allah and the false prophet of the desert will be eliminated from the earth by the God of Israel Who says “I will not give my glory to another” May that day come soon!!! Amen

Jerusalem will be Rescued Isaiah 33:7-13
“Listen, their brave men are crying outside: messengers who tried to make peace are weeping bitterly. The highways lie waste-no one travels anymore. The treaty is brokern: witnesses are rejected, he doesn’t respect anyone. The country mourns and languishes. Lebanon withers in shame: Sharon has become like a wilderness. Bashan and Carmel are laid bare. ” Now I will arise,” Says the Lord. “Now I will get up. Now I will exalt Myself. You will gain nothing by all your efforts. Your own breath will turn to fire and kill you. Your people will be burned up completely, like thorns cut down and tossed in a fire. Listen to what I have done, you nations far away! And you that are near acknowledge My might!” 14 The sinners in Jerusalem shake with fear. “Who among us can live with this devouring fire? Who can live in everlasting flames?
Read all of Isaiah 33. I wonder if the sinners this verse is referring to is the palestinians in His Zion. (not that we are not sinners, we all fall short)
Salah I pray that the One true God of Israel will reveal himself to you that you my repent and be saved.

Peace be to all mankind, surely in history there must have been a time where all of us co-existed peacefully and respected each other,it seems like a bygone time.Every day people suffering and being killed in the name of “ISLAM”, ” Our promised land ISREAL”, “TERRORISM”, “FREEDOM OF SPEECH”, “ZIONIST STATE” and the list goes on and on.Truly we have forgotton the meaning of what a human being really is and have adopted to barbaric and inhumane acts,WE ARE ALL TO BLAME.I certanly dont know the answer nor do i pretend to be someone who is highly educated but remember this when we leave this earth and that day will come,we wont be taking our mansions or our bank accounts with us,its whats within us thats going to bo carried forward.
Peace to all, Jews ,Christians,Muslims and Mannkind alike.
