The US and Israel believe Iran’s motive was that PM Hariri was considered a serious threat to Tehran and Damascus because their intelligence agencies established that Hariri was conspiratorially linked to Saudi Arabia, France and the United States—and by extension, Israel. Key Congressional leaders have been advised that the execution order targeting Hariri was delivered by Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds force chief Qassem Suleymani to Hezbollah’s military commander Imad Mughniyeh. The US, Israel and their allies intend to back with an international media campaign, the STL theory that Mughniyeh and his brother-in-law, Mustapha Badr al-Dine met on several occasions and handpicked the team that carried out the assassination. Moreover, that Syrian President Bashar al-Aassad, and his brother-in-law, Syrian Intelligence Chief Assef Shawkat, also played key roles in organizing Hariri’s assassination. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=1295116694 Soldiers, soldiers everywhere.

The leaders, who spoke on the condition their names be withheld, said they are fearful of a new assassination campaign in Lebanon targeting the country's pro-Western alliance, similar to the slew of assassinations in Lebanon in 2005 and 2006. They also said they are fearful of a major outbreak of sectarian violence. Separately, a source in Lebanon's pro-Western parliamentary alliance told WND that today's collapse of the Lebanese government by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and its allies came after Hezbollah rejected a deal by Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

Shami, nonetheless, voiced optimism over reaching a solution to the Lebanon crisis by Syria and Saudi Arabia.

As hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees cough and slow-bake while inhaling rancid camp air in Lebanon's sweltering breezeless heat, the White House has now sent Lebanon's Parliament a message. The United States will not support meaningful civil, social or economic rights for the world's largest and oldest refugee population and it wants them naturalized anywhere except anyplace in Palestine. Many had been hoping that President Obama would honor in Lebanon his calls for "American style civil rights" for Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, where daily US military actions betray American founding principles. Or that his administration would act to give some credence to Obama's June 2009 Cairo speech or at least the pledges of Presidential envoy George Mitchell to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah that "the United States will work without rest until the inhuman conditions of Palestinians in all the refugee camps are ended. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=1281028569 The August 3, 2010, armed clash along the Israeli-Lebanese border was a significant strategic incident.

According to the report, the sum, based on World Bank appraisals, is aimed at covering the environmental and material damages caused by the Second Lebanon War, to neighboring countries as well. The fundamental part of the compensation demanded is for the damage caused to the Lebanese coast due to an oil spill following an Israeli bombing of a southern Beirut power plant, which the Lebanese said had caused "an ecological disaster." According to the report, Ban plans to submit a report to the United Nations General Assembly at the end of the month, stating that damage Israel caused to the oil reservoir polluted Lebanon's coast, and that the pollution spread to neighboring countries, especially Syria. Ban further notes that the UN rehabilitation plan managed to clean some of the oil spill in several areas in northern Lebanon seashores. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=1216404890 July 17, 2008 Yesterday was the last day of the 2006 Lebanon war, the final chapter of Israel's folly and Hizbollah's hubris, a grisly day of corpse-swapping and refrigerated body parts and coffin after bleak wooden coffin on trucks crossing the Israeli border, which left old Ali Ahmed al-Sfeir and his wife, Wahde, stooped and broken with grief.

These reports state that Israel had become ‘alarmed’ over this American spy satellite since its launching in December, 2006, (which the United States then reported had failed to reach its assigned orbit) due to its orbit which brought it over their secretive Negev Nuclear Research Center located at Dimona.

The decision was made during a special meeting of security officials in which he discussed the matter with senior military personnel, and it marks the first time Israel has scaled back vital supplies to Gaza since the cabinet defined Gaza as a "hostile entity" last month. According to a report on Channel 2, Israel will begin to gradually reduce the volume of electricy and amount of gasoline that is currently supplied to Gaza. The report further stated that the move was not meant to "punish" the Palestinians, but was simply a method of implementing the cabinet decision from last month. However, Channel 10 reported that Israel planned to cut electricity for an estimated 15 minutes after every Palestinian rocket is fired into Israel, leading to speculation of a direct connection between sanctions and the Kassam rocket fire. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=d71cbafc9e164f41793a5b21632c6348 The Israeli government has admitted for the first time that it used controversial phosphorous bombs during its 34-day war campaign in Lebanon. Cabinet Minister Jacob Edery confirmed that the army had used the bombs to attack "military targets" during its war with Hizbollah in July and August. Previously, Israel had said the bombs had only been used to mark out targets. During the conflict, doctors in Lebanon reported treating civilians who appeared to have been hit by the shells, which leave their victims with severe chemical wounds that can be fatal. The reports led the Lebanese President, Emile Lahoud, to accuse Israel of breaching the Geneva Convention, which bans the use of white phosphorous both as an incendiary weapon against civilians and in air attacks against military forces in civilian areas. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=42e8492ea9c7f6d9d178da561d079686 Lebanon is planning a beautiful new project for achieving permanent peace, prosperity and invincibility�to radiate this influence to the whole Middle East region�through the establishment of an Invincibility School where the students practise Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme as part of their curriculum.

He didn't recall how the French battalion almost shot down an Israeli jet last year - it was before his time - and he dismissed last month's border shoot-out between Israeli and Lebanese troops.No specific threats had been directed at Unifil, the UN's man in southern Lebanon insisted - though I noticed he paused for several seconds before replying to my question - and his own force was now augmented by around 9,000 Lebanese troops patrolling on the Lebanese-Israeli frontier.

Scientists predict that 50% of the worlds species will be extinct within 100 years. Infertility in humans is an increasing problem now, with only 15% of sperm in men globally which is normal. It used to be 80% was normal.

Less than 3 weeks after making this promise the United States used a little known provision in their security agreements with Israel to fully pay for the war, and as we can read as reported by Israel�s Ynet News Service in their article titled "US to double emergency equipment stored in Israel", and which says: "The American Congress gave Israel financial and security encouragement when the Senate and the House of Representatives gave their approval to double the emergency equipment the United States stores in Israeli stockpiles. Within the next two years the Americans will fill the military emergency stockpiles in Israel with double the equipment they now hold. In addition, the US will allow Israel to use the remainder of the US's monetary guarantees given to them that have not been used yet, and add up to USD 4.5 billion, by 2011. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=258bd7811a4b7bc88da817f30605942f Did Israel use a secret new uranium-based weapon in southern Lebanon this summer in the 34-day assault that cost more than 1,300 Lebanese lives, most of them civilians? We know that the Israelis used American "bunker-buster" bombs on Hizbollah's Beirut headquarters. We know that they drenched southern Lebanon with cluster bombs in the last 72 hours of the war, leaving tens of thousands of bomblets which are still killing Lebanese civilians every week. And we now know - after it first categorically denied using such munitions - that the Israeli army also used phosphorous bombs, weapons which are supposed to be restricted under the third protocol of the Geneva Conventions, which neither Israel nor the United States have signed.But scientific evidence gathered from at least two bomb craters in Khiam and At-Tiri, the scene of fierce fighting between Hizbollah guerrillas and Israeli troops last July and August, suggests that uranium-based munitions may now also be included in Israel's weapons inventory - and were used against targets in Lebanon. According to Dr Chris Busby, the British Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, two soil samples thrown up by Israeli heavy or guided bombs showed "elevated radiation signatures". text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=2535547624236276f8d51a231f035e89 http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-10-25T162410Z_01_L25388477_RTRUKOC_0_US-GERMANY-ISRAEL-INCIDENT.xml&WTmodLoc=IntNewsHome_C2_worldNews-4* * * * * * *BERLIN (Reuters) - Two Israeli warplanes and a German navy vessel have clashed off the Lebanese coast, the Defense Ministry in Berlin said on Wednesday without giving further details. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=84441d88baafb77dc5a0c4e1dbd53be8 The extraordinary build-up of European naval and military strength in and around Lebanon's shores... is linked to the general anticipation of a military clash between the United States and Israel, on one side, and Iran and possibly Syria on the other, some time from now until NovemberThis expectation has brought together the GREATEST sea and air armada Europe has ever assembled at any point on earth since World War II:two carriers with75 fighter-bombers,spy planes and helicopters on their decks;15 warships of various types - 7 French,5 Italian,2-3 Green,3-5 German,5 American;thousands of Marines - French,Italian andGerman, as well as1,800 US Marines.It is improbably billed as support for a mere 7,000 European soldiers who are deployed in Lebanon to prevent the dwindling Israeli force of 4-5,000 soldiers and some 15-16,000 Hizballah militiamen from coming to blows as well as for humanitarian odd jobs. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_lebanon_war/news.php?q=8ba4d2b15aabd4f31805428febafff4a From: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/2DA2B0AA-7EE2-4476-AED0-FF89D4372251.htm * * * * * * *Speaking at a victory rally in south Beirut in his first public appearance since the war with Israel, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his group still had more than 20,000 rockets available.

Condoleezza Rice in a Press Conference on July 21, 2006.Madam Secretary, one question please: Will your country claim the newborn if it happens to be the wrong color? I remember reading about the new Middle East in a document written back in 1996 called " A Clean Break:A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" (ACB) . It was authored by a group of policy advisors to Israel. Subsequently, nearly all members ascended to influential policy making positions within US government, media, and academic circles and were instrumental in taking the US to war against Iraq under false pretenses.
