Zionist Expansion


What's next for Lebanon? We know the facts, but what does all this agression mean in the long run? Continued occupation? Destroy Lebanon so they could walk in and take over like Palestine?
More agression means more resistance, no matter what any ambassador, spokesman or president says. The equation has always been simple: End all occupation and you will live in peace. But to continue this state terrorism and continuous occupation for decades it becomes very clear: that's not what Israel wants.

The preceding was just a brief list of the many violent acts of the Israeli war machine in a three week period in Lebanon. Acts which they labeled as accidents and silenced the international community.
These horrific, inhumane, terrorizing events were all explained away by Israel as accidents. Can they all be accidents? Is an army supplied with the world's most sophisticated, refined, high-tech, intelligent and precise weaponry capable of so many accidents? Statistically, these events could not occur in such a short period of time if not deliberate.
What the events show is that Israel and its suppliers are active in committing severe war crimes. How long will the world wait silent? If you are silent then you are a willing participant of this genocide.

This list is just the tip of a long list of barbaric acts committed by Israel and its enablers.
Other acts include:
800 civilians killed
4000 civilians injured
1,000,000 civilians displaced
3,000,000 civilians under threat
500 miles of roads bombed beyond use
100 bridges bombed beyond use
4 airports bombed
7 seaports bombed
10 civilian factories bombed
5 Lebanese army barracks bombed
3 civilian hospitals bombed
10,000 buildings destroyed
Ancient historical cites bombed
Power plants bombed
Power stations bombed
Sewage plants bombed
Water facilities bombed
Milk factory bombed
Fuel stations bombed
Transport trucks bombed
Humanitarian aid vehicles bombed
Ambulances bombed
Fleeing civilians bombed
Even an amusement park and a zoo bombed

Israel has also enacted chemical warfare using phosphorous to burn their victims to death and cluster bombs to kill every living person and thing around the target.

No one is safe, nothing is immune.

War crimes? Israel leads world history.

"I am dying, Egypt, dying."




Israeli evil rains down on my villages and my people in a continuous shower of tyranny, terror and inhumanity and you remain idle in your contrived anger shouting words that change as soon as your pockets get threatened, the world watches my children’s bodies dragged out of the rubble in pieces and turns away as easily as switching the channel, leaving me here to suffer, to die.

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude;"


after fears of death and the unknown. after anxious weeks of dialing phones that never answered. after bombings and news of closer bombings. My parents are here. In minutes after Cyprus and military planes and this and that I will see them.

I am happy but am reminded of those they left behind, friends, family and just people left to suffer with no foriegn passport forcing a country to care.

"Nothing can come of nothing: speak again."

"Now go we in content, To liberty, and not to banishment."


Racha, my recently engaged sister-in-law, had been sitting quietly in her home with her brother and sisters and my widowed mother-in-law. She told me of her frustration and anxiety, sitting home in the dark, waiting to die. She is a nurse and needed to get out and help her people. Fearing for her life, her mother agreed only if she’d stay in a hospital or the Red Cross center. Today I saw her on TV in an MSNBC report. http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=2aff6882-ef72-4533-aae0-037400590ae2&f=00&fg=email She was working with the Red Cross with an ambulance while dodging missiles. She seemed alive doing what she was trained to do.

"All that glisters is not gold."

Updated from previous post. Now I have heard that the mosque may not have been the building leveled but the appartments attached. In one of those apartments is my cousin and her husband, a real humanitarian doctor who never let those in need pay for his services, Dr. Ghassan. Someone said they saw him on TV. He was ok, no official report on the casualties (I've heard that one person was killed). So what may seem like good news yeilds to more tragic news. And it goes on.

"Now is the winter of our discontent."


Every time I visit Lebanon I stay in Tyr. Tyr is a pretty crowded and historic sea-side town http://www.tyremunicipality.com/ . About a hundred yards from my parents apartment is the neighborhood mosque, a quaint little mosque built as part of a neighborhood complex complete with a school a couple of apartments and a couple of shops. This morning it was bombed. The mosque has been leveled. I don't know how many casualties there were. I'm still trying to find info on the net. My parents live a hundred yards away. I haven't heard from them as of this morning. One day I will make another visit to Lebanon, I'm afraid there may be nothing left for me to see, no mosques, no schools or playgrounds, no memories, no friends or family to visit only mourn.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

The town of Khiam was the location of a famous Israeli prison where thousands of Lebanese were tortured and held captive for years and even killed. In 1989 while in Lebanon visiting my grandparents, I heard of Hussien, a teacher and Khiam prisoner. Tortured once too many times, he tried to escape. Digging under the fence an Israeli bulldozer came in and buried him alive, no escape. This prison has been leveled seemingly to erase this part of history. Khiam was hit repetedly even the UN post where four UN peacekeepers were killed by Israeli strikes.
