Senior Israeli lawmaker Ephraim Sneh, a prominent figure in defense circles, made the assessment this week that Israel will inevitably have to fight Iran sometime in the near future.
But the Jerusalem Post Thursday made the observation that Israel is already fighting Iran, and Lebanon is the battlefield.
Hizb’allah is in effect a brigade of Iranian commandoes, Tehran’s vanguard forces in its quest to see Israel, in the words of President Ahmadinejad, “wiped off the map.” That fact makes Israel’s need to deal Hizb’allah a decisive defeat all the more pressing.
For Israel to not emerge victorious in this fight will signal victory for Hizb’allah, regardless of how many terrorists are killed, and provide Iran with encouragement and valuable information on how future battles against the Jewish state should be conducted.

Ryan, you are right on it in this article. Even the media has told the world that Iranians are in Lebanon fighting along side of Hezbollah. We see “the writing on the wall.” We can’t fail to remember that Israel’’s enemies are really the enemies of many nations; not just the U. S., United Kingdom, etc.
A ceasefire would only be a temporary fix (for Hezbollah to back up and regroup!!!) Israel and the nations will all suffer if a ceasefire is put into place before Israel has completed the job. There will be NO safety for Israel in “surrendering” to a ceasefire. Heavenly Father, give the leaders of the Nation of Israel the wisdom and insight to not “fall for” this trick. I ask this in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High God. Amen and Amen marsha

Hey guys? whats goin on hu? fighting wid hizbullah? Hard luck guys…..its very long way….. ITs true that the terrorist groups amond the world are very big in figure. (if you count the whole terrorist group than the soldiers of these groups have the same fugure of world jewish population and increasing day-by-day) So there is no solution of peace with killing or fighting them. You should kill the think behind the terrorism not the people. (at my view its impossible) This is simple that you cant kill all the terrorist or weaken them by fighting or killing them coz if u kill the terrorist they will increase in two times more figure….
I THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO TERMINATE THEM… SO WHY SHOULD WE FIGHT…….FIGHT WITH THE PROBLEMS WHY THEY BEING THE TERRORIST? FIGHT THE HUMAN PROBLEMS?
YOU CANT MAKE WORLD SAFER BY KILLING ANYONE.
YOU HAVE TO BE PEACEFUL AND ACT LIKE ALL THE PROPHETS THAT OCCURED IN PREVIOUS DECADES AND GAVE US THE MESSAGE

This is a war against the islamic nations ie Syrian and Iran Governments through Hezbollah.since the Un resolution to dis-arm Hezbollah, no nation has tried to put her hand against this terrorist.

. . . hearing battles and tidings of battles. See that you are not alarmed, for it MUST BE OCCURRING . . .
(words of Jesus, the Anointed)
Behold I am laying a foundation stone in Zion,
A choice shone, a precious corner,
a well-founded foundation;
The one believing shall not be put to shame.
(words of the Lord, Yahweh)
The stone which the builders rejected,
It came to be for the head of the corner.
From Yahweh came this;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
(Psalm 118:22,23)
Yahweh is for me; I shall not fear
What a human may do to me.
Yahweh is for me as my Helper,
And I shall see the fate of those hating me.
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to trust in patrons.
All nations, they have surrounded me;
It was in the name of Yahweh
That I cut them off.
They surrounded me; indeed they surrounded me;
It was in the name of Yahweh
That I cut them off.
They surrounded me like bees;
They were extinguished like a fire of thorns.
It was in the name of Yahweh that I cut them off.
I was pushed, pushed so as to fall,
Yet Yahweh, He helped me.
Yah has disciplined, yea disciplined me,
Yet He has not given me over to death.
(words from Psalm 118)

Please permit me to advise you that August 22nd is a seminal date on the Islamic calendar. It is a date of tremendous significance. EXPECT Iran to attack Israel. The Iranians believe that Allah (arabic for “God”) is on THEIR SIDE. Therefore, they are invincible. These people are impossible to defeat. They are extremely willing to sacrifice their lives to their cause, whatever it may be. Expect a cataclysmic bloodbath. If you don’t believe me, check out the significance of the date August 22nd, Just google it with the word “Iman” and see what the whole world is going to be up against!

Im an Iranian boy . Im in iran . Just wanne tell Some about “Iman”, The word which Tom noticed it .
We belive that god is on the truth side. we belive that
just god is the world creater, no one isn’t better then the others, just two thinks diffrents with each other, good people are never same as bad people … we belive everyone choose his way it’self , but at the end of the story in the last world wich come’s after death, we should answer about all we did here in this world . we should all try to be good . just like God .
we call all theas belives “Iman” .

it is appointed for man to die and then judgement. do not fear man that can destroy the body, but fear him that can destroy the soul in a eternal fire .
romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD
romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our lord
john 3:16 For GOD so loved the world , that he give his only begotten son (JESUS), that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish. (go to hell), but have everlasting life. (heaven)
romans 10:9-10 That if you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord JESUS, and shall believe in your heart that GOD had raised him from the dead , you shall be saved . ( from hell)
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation .
romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord JESUS shall be saved
listen I know there are some that can’t respond for fear . but if you say this little prayer and turn from your sins JESUS will come into your heart and cleanse you from your sins . so if die right now will you go to heaven or hell the choice is yours . GOD sends no one to hell, we send ourselve by denying JESUS .
so please I pray you say these words and believe in your heart you will be saved . time is just about over for this world .
Dear JESUS I know I’m a sinner please forgive me and come into my heart and cleanse me pure again for I believe you died for my sins and raised up again. Thank you Lord and in your name JESUS amen and amen .

Our God is greater than any mountain of Iran, Hizballah, Syria, the whole terrorist world. God is greater, all power, omniescense, omnipresent. Nothing is impossible for God. Now is things comes to worse and we get attack by this terrorists, if we are truly committed with heart, mind, soul, spirit to Our Lord and Saviour we know where we are going, to our Heavenly Father. Remember we are just passing by here. Let’s travel light, just a backpack on our backs. Remember we are not to accumulate riches over here. The streets of gold and the mansions are waiting for us. So it does not matter what happens to this flesh of mine, as long as my heart is with my Lord Jesus I will be ok. Remember what Paul said. Just keep our eyes on him the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Counted all for joy when tribulations and perilous times abound, Jesus say I have overcome, and you will be overcomers also. Let’s keep looking for Him, that is all what matters now.
I love Israel and her people. Today my husband and I we went to service to a Messianic church. We love it! we will continue going. We were so blessed. We will keep praying for Israel, and all the families that have lost a loved one. Also for the Lebanese people that lost loved ones. Jesus loves them too, and we should love them also. We suppose to hate the sin, and the author of sin Satan and his demens. Le’ts all unite in love, and prayer for the salvations of jews as well as gentiles then Lord Jesus come, and please come quickly I am ready to go home.
God bless everyone, don’t lose heart because the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still in control. Halleluya!! God bless Israel, God bless her people, Amen
