26 dead so far

26 civilians have died so far in Lebanon, according to al-Jazeera. LBC is reporting that ten belonged to one family. My family told me over the telephone that they are completely cut off from Beirut. They live south of Beirut, and they could see the Israeli jets bomb the airport runway. More than 10 bridges have been reportedly destroyed. There are unconfirmed reports the tunnels that go through the airport were destroyed as well.

The Rafik Hariri International Airport is closed. Lebanon's only link to the world is now through... Syria.

Well done.

Israel has cut off air and sea transportation to Lebanon. War is beginning again. But the Internet is still up and Lebanese bloggers are online. Here are some links. Raja and Doja on The Lebanese Bloggers have been posting hourly... [Read More]

You guys are all blaming Hezballah. Clearly you guys have your anger geared toward the wrong side.

Hizballah attacked the military. Legitimate military targets.

The Zionists attacked civilian infrastructure, homes and the common man. Those cowards.

Stand with Lebanon.

Waleed--

You are certainly on the WRONG side if you think it's OK to go on another country's sovereign territory to kidnap soldiers. Please don't align yourself with the rest of us Lebanese because we do not stand with you.

I am standing WITH Lebanon and AGAINST Nasrallah. I hope he pays for every horrible thing Israel does to Lebanon.

Man go to sleep. You really need some.

The vast majority of Lebanon stands with Nasrallah and the Resistance.

You are the minority my friend.

This Just in the Resistance has bombed Nahariya with 60 missles, the airport of Kirayat Shmona, numerous military commands of the Zionists.

Long live the Resistance fighting against the Zionist Aggression against Lebanese civilians.

Unfortunately for the good people in Lebanon, it wasn't an attack that came from Syria, it came from Lebanon. Hizbullah exists and operates out of Lebanon. It's part of the government. So long as Lebanon accepts Hizbullah and Nasrallah as legitimate, it is responsible for their actions. Even if every single one of Nasrallah's Katyushas hit a meaningful target, it still wouldn't help. What is Lebanon going to do about Israeli jet fighters??? Lebanon's airforce consists of 30 outdated helicopters. And fighting back would only make things worse anyway. The only solution for Lebanon to have a future is to immediately BAN Hizbullah as a terrorist organization, do everything in their means to convince Israel they will help find the kidnapped soldiers, arrest Nasrallah and collect Hizbullah's arms, stop worrying about the Shebaa farms, because they aren't going to be farmed for a long time unless Lebanon decides it wants to make friends with it's neighbor it just attacked very soon. So much for the tourist season? So much for Lebanon :(.

Is this a nightmare we are living through? Is this what happens when the mad people run the asylum? When would the rest of us develop the courage to do something about this madness? Where are the demands for HA to hand back the kidnapped soldiers, to disarm and to stop acting on behalf of all the Lebanese.

Nasrallah is a delusional hooligan who preaches hatred and death. I have often wondered how can a man of the cloth have so little respect for the sacredness of life? Has he ever contemplated the possibilities of reaching a goal without murder as a means? Does he understand that a world built on a vicious cycle of violence and hatred is a world of toothless and blind peoiple? How can we ask for peace when we practice terror?

I don't care whether HA and its supporters are 40 % or even 60% of the populace. It is the moral duty of those that do not agree with what is happening to demonstrate their dissatisfaction by going down to the streets, writing letters to editors, calling radio and TV stations. We cannot go on aquiescing. Or then maybe we can, but if we do then we would have in essence abdicated the right to complain and dissent.

By the way, has anyone seen the heroic etc. etc. Syrian air force?

Its a joke to look at the causes of the issue. Its ridiculous to see all this happening and people just playing the blame game again. Does it not hurt you guys to see what is going on? Regardless of "israels" sovereign status? If it ignores others', it should expect the same.

But thats besides the point, my heart weeps for lebanon right now.
(And im not even lebanese?)

Ironically enough, the first thing I did this morning was change my return flight out of Beirut International Airport to Damascus.

The irony. The Syrians are benefiting from me.

I'll be returning to Beirut in a few weeks. I hope it too won't be through Damascus.....

Waleed,

Israeli military is NOT
'a legitimate target' since
Israel is not holding any Lebanese land (UN says).

If you attack the military with
no reason expect reaction.
.

Why Hez's kidnapping attack not legitimate act of war:

Absurdly, despite Israel's withdrawal to the international borders with Lebanon and Gaza, much of the international community still sees the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers as a legitimate act of war: Just as Israel holds Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners, so Hamas and Hezbollah now hold Israeli prisoners. One difference, though, is that inmates in Israeli jails receive visits from family and Red Cross representatives, while Israeli prisoners in Gaza and Lebanon disappear into oblivion. Like Israeli pilot Ron Arad, who was captured by Hezbollah 20 years ago, then sold to Iran, and whose fate has never been determined. That is one reason why Israelis are so maddened by the kidnapping of their soldiers.

Another reason is the nature of the crimes committed by the prisoners whose release is being demanded by Hezbollah and Hamas. One of them is Samir Kuntar, a PLO terrorist who in 1979 broke into an apartment in the northern Israeli town of Nahariya, took a father and child hostage, and smashed the child's head against a rock. In the Palestinian Authority, Kuntar is considered a hero, a role model for Palestinian children.

Nasrallah Why don't you negotiate in Hell

"The Rafik Hariri International Airport is closed. Lebanon's only link to the world is now through... Syria. "

I must admit that I am one of those who don't fully appreciate this ironic development.

Big, salty, crocodile tears I'm sure.
