Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station would dismiss as feminine and sentimental the view that peoples don’t win wars. Like other Arab analysts, they regard attacking Israeli civilians and engaging the IDF in fierce battles as an Arab victory. But where’s the victory for the 1,000 Lebanese the Israeli army has killed? Where’s the victory in a million people fleeing homes that were bombed and destroyed? Are such losses worthwhile just to demonstrate that a guerrilla group can (…)

“Do you represent Israel before you represent America?” - U.S. Senate Candidate Kevin Zeese’s query to Rep. Ben Cardin (1)
The Neocons’ scheme to destabilize the Middle East, aka “The Clean Break Document,” and to create a “safer Israel” is backfiring. (2) Instead, residents of Haifa, Israel, are running for cover from the rocket attacks of Hezbollah. Hey, that wasn’t in the plan! The Arabs aren’t suppose to fight back. They are only suppose to serve as target practice for the Israeli (…)

LIBREVILLE, August 9 (Infosplusgabon) - Israel has 168.000 soldiers of credits (186 500 according to the Jaffee Center of the university of Such Aviv) and of. 408.000 reservists.

Some argue, it is the most damaging ’insanity’ of the 9/11 movement ever, others think it is the ultimate ’holy grail’ against any kind of "limited hangout".
It is a proven fact, that U.S. Media regularly fabricates and doctors video, photos, stories every single day, but on 9/11 they allegedly did not?
