Tensions Rising In Israel (Following Thread)

reply to post by ZeroKnowledge


That's a lie. The NYTimes is again lying for their bosses.

The 2006 war started because Israeli commandos were kidnapped in South Lebanon.

That's their problem, they were in Lebanon territory. I saw the first reports, I remember, and those reports disapeared not long after... wonder why eh?

Arab League Chief Pushes for Closer Ties With Iran

CAIRO (AP) -- The Arab League chief wants the 22-nation bloc to engage Iran directly over concerns about its growing influence and its nuclear activities, in a step that could undermine U.S. and Israeli efforts to isolate the country, diplomats said Tuesday.

Senior U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Robert Gates toured the region last month to urge Arab allies to back Western efforts to increase the heat on Iran over its nuclear program, including through tougher economic sanctions.

Arab diplomats said Secretary-General Amr Moussa will present his proposal in a policy document to a two-day Arab League leaders summit in Sirte, Libya, that starts Saturday. The leaders are expected to discuss a range of regional issues, including stalled Middle East peace efforts and Iran.
