“In west Beirut yesterday, the Israeli air force destroyed eight apartment blocks in which six families were living. Twelve civilians were killed in southern Lebanon, including a mother, her children and their housemaid….The Israeli military appears to be efficient at destroying bridges, power stations, gas stations and apartment blocks – but signally inefficient in crushing [...]

I am amazed how similar Israeli propaganda today is to Egyptian state propaganda in 1967. They mock Hasan Nasrallah almost in the same way Egyptian propaganda mocked Moche Dayan in 1967. Ironic, no?

The Israeli state made it very clear that the purpose of the Israeli war on aggression is to end Hizbullah’s missile capibilities. Yesterday, a record 250 missiles fell on Israel.

This is obscene. The official spokesperson of Syrian tyrant, Hafith Al-Asad, criticizes Arab governments for their inactions. What? Are you kidding me?

On anti-Semitism. Some people asked me to elaborate on my opinion that the article by Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder is a grotesque anti-Semitic piece.
