Lebanon Warns Against Inciting Israel



Lebanon's defense minister said Sunday he is certain Hezbollah will not break the cease-fire but warned all militant groups of harsh measures and a traitor's fate if they incite Israeli retaliation by firing rockets into the Jewish state.





No, Hezbollah would never incite Israel by shooting rockets into Israel, shooting at civilians, kidnapping soldiers, engaging in suicide attacks, or anything like that. That would be unprecedented. Must be those other militants over yonder.





Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Saturday's raid was aimed at disrupting arms shipments to Hezbollah and such operations may continue until international peacekeepers arrive to enforce an arms embargo.



"In the situation where there was a flagrant violation of the embargo, Israel had the right to act. Had there not been a violation, Israel would not have to respond," he said Sunday, expressing impatience with the slow international response in offering troops for the peacekeeping force





One word: hudna. Another: taqiyya.



Iran-Hezbollah missile gift blocked, officials say



"The United States blocked an Iranian cargo plane's flight to Syria last month after intelligence analysts concluded it was carrying sophisticated missiles and launchers to resupply Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, two U.S. intelligence officials say.





No, Hezbollah isn't Iran's catspaw, and Israel isn't a US ally. Not at all.

Iran cartoon show mocks Holocaust




Let's get this straight. They condemn the exceedingly mild Danish cartoons about Islam, then go out and go over the top with such things as Ariel Sharon, the incapacitated former Israeli Prime Minister, wearing an SS uniform, or a man with Jewish side locks is depicted as a vampire drinking from a container marked 'Palestinian blood'.



Lest I be mistaken, I think they're in bad taste, but don't think any sanction should apply to people who draw or disseminate such things. That's part of freedom of speech. On the other hand, they pointedly are not in any position to request anyone not to make fun of their particular superstitions.
