Been writing about Kofi Annan a lot lately, but he just keeps making such ridiculous, two-faced statements that he is practically picking on himself.
So, everyone remembers that when the UN put an end to the recent Israel-Hizb’allah war, part of the deal was that Hizb’allah would be disarmed and no longer capable of threatening Israel.
That was then revised, with the UN saying it could not and would not be the one to disarm Hizb’allah, that Lebanon was responsible for doing so. Beirut, naturally, said it was not going to take the guns out of the hands of a group it views as a strategic military asset.
On Wednesday, Annan looked to further clarify things from his side by stating that any Lebanese armed terrorist organization could only be disarmed by national consensus. (Wonder if he would take the same position if a well-armed murderous group like Hizb’allah was operating out of, say, England or Germany or Italy, and attacking neighboring states?)
Anyway, where Annan’s hypocrisy makes itself evident here is in the fact that he expects Israel to comply with UN dictates, regardless of national consensus. In Israel, I guarantee a majority of the population - and a large majority at that - was for continuing the war a little longer and crushing Hizb’allah. And I would wager they are now for maintaining the blockade on Lebanon as long as necessary to ensure their abducted troops are returned and Hizb’allah is unable to replenish its arsenal.
But who cares about Israeli national consensus? Apparently not Annan.

All bets are off, the United Nations as usual didn’t do what they agreed to do. Soon the conflict will start again ,but this time it might come from Syria especially if the U N acts as a blocking force. Any perception of a victory by the Muslim radicals will only fuel the new belief that GOD is now going to give them victory over Israel. As this belief spreads to surrounding countries rockets could be coming from every where falling in all areas of Israel.This may bring Israel to the point where they may have to use neutron bombs to survive the attack. As the bible says in Ezekiel 38 & 39 Russia will be forced to come down and swarm Israel to occupy and stop a full out nuclear war from erupting worldwide. Israel does not need to worry because the LORD JESUS will protect them. Israel should not put their faith in their military arms , but instead in the arms of the LORD. None shall be able to defeat him.

I can’t wait for the day when some high ranking official in the Israeli government puts Annan in his place publicly and decisively.
This hate mongering hypocrite needs to shut the hell up and somebody needs to tell him so!

Nazis have been standing up forever. Nazism did not fall with Hitler. It only shifted its evil to the Nazi partner…Arabs. Its true, I am not a racist, only a realist. Why is it that Hitler himself met with the Grand Mufti of “Palestine” in the 1930’s and their is film that exists of this. Hitler joining forces with the Arabs years ago. The Grand Mufti himself was Yassar Arafats fathers brother. This is a great example of history repeating itself. Does it mean anything that Jihad means “self struggle”, while Mein Kampf means “self struggle”. Wow must I say more. G-d help us all.

Ryan, thank you for keeping us informed of what is really going on. The American media has become so insensitive, it is deeply disturbing for all who love Israel and care about what happens to the Nation of Israel and its people.
I can trust you to tell the truth!!! How refreshing. It is my most sincere prayer that before war breaks out again, that the people of Israel will have “cleaned house” of their current leaders, and that BiBi Netanyahu will be Prime Minister.
He can and wil do what needs to be done to protect the Nation of Israel and its people. My dear mother has always told me that a person’s eyes are the windows to that person’s soul. It took me many years to finally have sense enough to realize mama knew what she was talking about….Better late than never for me….Look at a person’s eyes……they will tell you a lot about that person.
I have seen Netanyahu on national television for numbers of years now—Study his eyes….If you do you will see strength of character and courage and conviction. I do not see double mindedness in his eyes. It is my most earnest prayer and desire that the people of Israel will realize that God, in His great mercy, has given them a grace period to put into place the leaders that can lead the Nation into Victory.
Procrastination never works—it only prolongs the inevitable and makes the end worse. Heavenly Father, move on the hearts and minds of the people of Israel to elect and stand firm with Strong and Courageous leadership NOW.

I would not give one inch of ground back or allow any access to any part of the war zone. The only people to enter would be screened for weapons. Lebanon allowed the hezbollah to start war and should deal with the consequences. In World War 2 nobody screamed about civilians bieng killed in the bombings of major cities.The civilian and kids killed during 911 did not concern Binladen , so why was it played up so much in Lebanon? Do we expect Israel to meet higher standards than the rest of the world? Israel trust in the LORD ,he will not fail you.

As I began reading this article, I noticed something else as I was reminded about the U.N. and how it came to be and who formed it. This was the famous “League of Nations” remember who this was composed of? ………Also, has anyone ever been to the U.N.? In front of the U.N. there is a big metal sculpture of a gun with a knot tied at the end of the barrel. Does anyone remember their law about gun control in the U.S.? Guns are bad…………………..so bad, that they pay for bigger guns and bigger weapons from tax systems worldwide to produce an army they have not acquired. Go figure…………………………………

True christian–you aren’t living up to your name! A true Christian knows that (1) Jesus was a Jew and has a plan for all Jews to be able to turn to Him as their messiah–not a plan for them to be overcome by people who believe Satan (Allah) is their god instead of Jehoveh, and (2) a true Christian believes the Bible when it says that when we Gentiles come to believe in Jesus we are grafted into the tree of Israel, not the other way around. In effect, now we are Jews. Also, (3) to be a true Christian, you have to put to death your old self — that is, give up your old ideas about people and things and believe the whole Bible which says Israel is the apple of the Falther’s eye and that He will bless those who bless Israel and CURSE those who curse her. The Nazi’s cursed the Jews and Hitler was disgraced in death. Islam and much of the world are cursing the Jews right now and they will pay for it big time. God will allow a season of success for them for His own purposes but the Bible tells us that Palestinians will be wiped out and Jews will reclaim that land. It says that Damascus will become just a heap….If you don’t believe this you are not a true Christian and Jesus will look at you some day and say “Depart from me–I Never knew you!).
