Israel agreed to stop terrorizing civilians for 48 hours...
The man just said on my breaking news network.

Civilians to be slaughtered again on/or around Tuesday, or sooner, should Israel deem necessary.

11. Irish refused bombs sent to Prestwick airport
BOMBS destined to be used by Israel are being flown via Scotland only because the Irish government refused to allow them to land on its soil.

Scotland on Sunday can reveal that after the conflict in Lebanon began three weeks ago, Ireland turned down a United States request for planes carrying 600lb so-called bunker busters to refuel at Shannon airport in Co Clare.

(snip)
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the authorities had approved an 'exemption' allowing the two new flights to land at Prestwick. The first, a Boeing 747 from Texas, landed at about 1pm yesterday for refuelling. A second flight is due to arrive today.

3. Golly gee, we can tell what you think about Israel.
How long before you ask them to pack up and move to floating ships on the sea?

10. Does seem to me that claiming that Israel is slaughtering innocents
only means that you are less then willing to see that perhaps maybe just maybe they have a reason for what they are doing? You think that Hezbollah has not been spending the past six years trying to annoy them as much as possible? My view is simple: Hezbollah (which is a social organization in addition to being a terrorist orgainization) is hiding among the vulnerable. Israel had two choices: continue to let Hezbollah bomb them, or go after them and deal with the fall out of having to bomb areas with civilians.

No good choices, no good answers. Either one organization continues to bomb the state of Israel, or the state of Israel fights back among innocents who let Hezbollah live among them for the social organizational needs they have.

Either way people die. Either way death and destruction.

5. link : Israel agrees 48-hr aerial activity ban - U.S. official
Israel has agreed to suspend its aerial bombardment of southern Lebanon for 48 hours, starting immediately, to allow for an investigation into Sunday's bombing that killed 54 civilians, a U.S. State Department official said on Monday.

Israel will also coordinate with the United Nations to allow a 24-hour window for residents of southern Lebanon to leave the area if they wish, State Department spokesman Adam Ereli told a briefing in Jerusalem.

6. Sounds more like a break to resupply and reload to me
Disgusting, revolting, immoral, the words just escape me. It seems as though Israel wants to lay waste to her neighbors, and then call it peace. Meanwhile Bushco is cheering on the death and destruction, hoping that Iran and Syria jump in so that he can once again get his wargasm on:puke:

13. That would probably be their best bet right now
and kick them the fuk out but I'm not so sure Israel will give them the chance. It's kind of hard to take control of your country under constant bombardment.

12. Don't be too cynical nimrod
at least its something thank the Gods. It sucks that they couldn't have done it sooner and maybe those 37 children in Qana might still be alive.

14. Does Hezbollah know there is a ceasefire?
If they don't know and they fire some rockets in the next few hours, have they broken the ceasefire?
