'Israel claims Iran link to crisis'
"Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers last week was timed to divert attention from Tehran's nuclear programme, the Israeli PM has claimed. Ehud Olmert said that the cross-border raid in which the two soldiers were taken and eight others killed was co-ordinated with Tehran.
About 30 people died in a seventh day of conflict, most of them in Lebanon. US President George W Bush has meanwhile accused Syria of trying to use the crisis to return to Lebanon.
"Syria is trying to get back into Lebanon, it looks like to me," Mr Bush said in Washington"
"It's essential that the government of Lebanon survives this crisis. We've worked hard to free - and we meaning the international community - worked hard to free Lebanon from Syrian influence."
The US state department refused to confirm comments by an Israeli ambassador that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would travel to the region on Friday.
Israel launched its assault and blockade last Wednesday after the two soldiers were captured.
About 230 Lebanese people have been killed since then - the majority of them were civilians, but the toll includes about 30 soldiers. The number of Hezbollah militants killed is not known.
Twenty-five Israelis have died - 13 civilians and 12 members of the military" BBC

one of the problems is that Israel has a 5th column in many countries, America is an obvious example but there are many others. members of this fifth column has infiltrated governments, the press etc. over severel generations. This is why we can never get even a verbal condemnation of Israel even though they are acting like barbarians and stealing as much as they can from whom they can.

It's funny how Israel is fighting Hizballah to "impose" UN resolution 1559 of disarming Hizballah,where it is breaking international laws and ignoring all UN resolutions imposed on it,and committing war crimes against Palestinian and now Lebanese civilians.Israel is complaining that this war is a distraction of the world from Iran's weapons; but i don't remember that Iran declared this war!It's a distraction alright,but from the daily massacres in Gaza! Has the world gone this blind and stupid?

Jultra, thanks for not letting this scandal rest. I'm doing my best but I'm not so young, strong, stamina endowed, etc as I used to be. We most ALL keep this fresh in the public eye for as long and in whatever ways we can.
I almost depair personally, you can see by my own rantting comment at my own place. Hopefully there are enough like ourselves to be able to 'work in shifts' as it were. As some tire & need rest, others carry on working. When they need rest, the others take things up again.
I am indescribably angry. Believe me. (Excuse any errors - due to prevailing circumstances).
Hey You're doing fine Richard!
Yes I think the situation is very very serious, furthermore I think the entire world is being nudged towards catastrophe, and for what exactly ?
These are deeply challenging times indeed.
With love from Israel, the US and the UK to Lebanon...
