I guess the arab leaders are waiting for Iran to take the first step and stand for their rights :queer:
Its a shame wallah, yesterday on Al Jazira a reporter and many people from labenon said and repeated that the arab leaders are sleeping and they didn’t and wont denounce against what is going on to an arab and muslim country and face their biggest enemy in Islam and Quraan “Jewish”
on the other hand Iran denounced and threatened Israil to think twice before repeating what it did to Soriya because at that time EVEN IF the arab leaders didnt say anything Iran will take the right action :guitar:
but you know one thing guys arab leaders dont dare to say NO to the US or Israil, so live with it and put in mind that they wont take any action against them :welcome2:

If I were you I would burn my self to death instead of helping the US in killing people and creating the image of Muslim's as terrorists
Because whatever happens around the world from kidnapping to bombing they attach the word "Islam" to it while Islam and Arabs has nothing to do with it.
The US had this plan and now it applied it and it gave a bad image of Muslims and Arabs to all the European countries and people.
If you just think of it with your brain instead of what comes out of Bush's ass to you guys you will see that on the Sep 11th there was not even ONE JEWISH in the twin tower, did you wonder why?
I guess maybe because bush is Jewish so he didn’t want any member of his religion to get hurt or killed while he didn’t give a **** about the rest.

Bush claimed that IRAQ has a nuke so your friends from the US attacked Iraq and started killing, destroying, raping, stealing, etc..
Is that how you find or search for nukes?
Ok now after what happened you and your friends found out that there was no nuke why didn’t they pack their asses and get out of that country?
You are claiming to be in charge of taking care of it now until someone becomes a leader, and that leader will be chosen by the US "so that dumb ass listen to whatever bush tell him and obey"
How many years did it pass and you still didn’t get out of IRAQ?

Lets go to Afghanistan, you guys claimed that Bin Laden was the leader and in charge of what happened on the Sep 11th so you started bombing and killing Afghanistan's people daily and god knows when would you stop
And lots more to mention but I don’t have time to write everything so please have a big cup of SHUT THE **** UP and save me the writing unless you are welling to know what is the truth, although once I have seen a program on TV interviewing some of the soldiers who where sent to Afghanistan and they were regretting why they joined the army because they were fooled by the US government and now they are stuck there and they can obviously see that Afghanistan has no power!

1. Hisbullah supporters are not going to turn against them. Why? cause hisbullah was created after the lebanese people had enough of what Idrael was doing to them for 30 years. Just because sattellite and TV is more advanced now means that the world could not see what the lebanese people were going through back then.

2. Why should anyone trust Israel? They were the initial agressors. And now they want the lebanese people to disarm and be vulnerable? I'm sure the Isaelies are thinking this way too, otherwise why not negotiate and return the 3000 lebanese hostages they have?

3. You can call hisbullah militia, terrorists or whatever you want. But history shows us that because of militia and freedom fighters that many nations got their liberation and independance. A perfect example is USA! Wasnt it the miltia that used to ambush and fight the british army? And arent they the ones that initiated the american freedom movement and got them the independance?

4. USA finances and supports Israel. Why cant Iran do the same for Lebanon? hisbullah are the only force that have been protecting the lebanese people for dog years, you think the lebanese ( or even arabs and muslims ) are gonna let them down now? If they do, who will guarantee the protection of the muslims there? USA???? yeah right!

5. For 8 years, arab nations funded and supported Iraq against Iran, and now when Iran is supporting our muslim brothers in lebanon, they are branded terrorists! I bet if Iran start buying weapons from USA, and start signing more oil contracts with US, the americans will shut the **** up!

6. The muslim world need to stand up NOW, they need to show the world that ciolence and war is not tolerated, and that they will use their powers to stop it! Israel has been the reason behind all the troubles in this region, do something about them la???

I have more to say, but my fingers hurt!

[designo]

You know, I'm a genuinely reasonable person. I like to listen to people's points of view, study them before I agree or disagree.

But there is one thing I will not tolerate, and that's hypocracy! You cannot convince me that this is wrong, when it was right somewhere else for someone else!

The British and US and Israelies regard Hamas and Hisbullah as terrorist organisations, and refuse to negotiate a peace plan with them. Why?

Are only muslims terrorists?

I lived in the UK for 5 years between 1992 and 1997, and I was in the middle of the conflict between the IRA ( Irish Republican Army ) and the British Govt. The IRA used to Bomb London city and other cities every week. I was there. I was there in Manchester when they bombed the shopping complex and killed many innocent people. I was there when they bombed London harbour, Kensingtom mansions, etc etc. I was there. It was terrorism at its most disgusting!

IRA was an illegal freeom movement who held an official post in the irish government. They were represented by Gerry Adams ( Sinn Fein ). They wanted to end the british rule in Northern Ireland.

Did the irish government try to do anything about IRA? Did the british army bomb Ireland? ? NO!

What did the British Government do to solve the problem? They sat down and negotiated with Gerry Adams for a ceasefire and peace with disarming of IRA!

But wait! Isnt the IRA a terorist organisation???? Then how the **** did you negotiate with them Mr. Major????


1921 — Civil war splits Ireland into mostly Protestant Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, and mostly Catholic remainder, which becomes independent.

1969 — Catholics complain of discrimination.

1970 — The Provisional Irish Republican Army kills police and bombs cities.

1974 — Britain creates a power-sharing administration, which collapses amid Protestant strikes.

1994 — President Clinton grants a visa to Gerry Adams, head of the IRA-linked Sinn Fein. The group demands talks; Britain demands IRA disarmament. IRA and major outlawed Protestant groups call cease-fires.

1995 — British, Irish governments appoint former senator George Mitchell to mediate. Clinton visits Northern Ireland.

1996 — Mitchell recommends IRA disarm gradually. IRA bombs London. Sinn Fein barred from talks.

1997 — IRA renews cease-fire and Sinn Fein joins talks. Protestants walk out, but moderate Ulster Unionists stay.

1998 — Negotiators forge Good Friday accord, which proposes a Catholic-Protestant administration.

2000 — Britain suspends power-sharing after IRA refuses to start disarming. IRA vows to put "arms beyond use." Administration revived.

2001 — IRA begins disarming.

2002 — Power-sharing collapses.

2003 — IRA stops disarming. Sinn Fein and hard-liner Democratic Unionists win Northern Ireland elections.

2004 — IRA offers to disarm but refuses to produce disarmament photos.

2005 — British, Irish and U.S. governments demand that IRA disarm and disband. IRA pledges to renounce violence and resume disarmament.

You are da man D.... only muslims are terrorists and other organisation are not terrorists

[designo]

When the British Government decided to sit down with Gerry Adams ( IRA ) and negotiate a ceasefire, the British Prime Minister demanded that IRA dis-arm. IRA agreed with the condition that all IRA prisoners should be released. The British Government agreed. ( The Good Friday Agreement )

Only then, did the IRA start dis-arming!

What about Hisbullah? Hisbulla agreed to ceasefire and demanded that all prisoners to be released. Israel didnt fulfill its part of the deal!

If Asrael had released the prisoners, this would not have happened!

To prevent terrorism by dropping bombs on Iraq is such an obvious idea that I can't think why no one has thought of it before. It's so simple. If only the UK had done something similar in Northern Ireland, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in today. The moment the IRA blew up the Horseguards' bandstand, the Government should have declared its own War on Terrorism. It should have immediately demanded that the Irish government hand over Gerry Adams. If they refused to do so - or quibbled about needing proof of his guilt - we could have told them that this was no time for prevarication and that they must hand over not only Adams but all IRA terrorists in the Republic. If they tried to stall by claiming that it was hard to tell who were IRA terrorists and who weren't, because they don't go around wearing identity badges, we would have been free to send in the bombers.

But wait? What about countries who harbour and train terrorists?

We would have had to turn our attention to those states which had supported and funded the IRA terrorists through all these years. The main provider of funds was, of course, the USA, and this would have posed us with a bit of a problem. Where to bomb in America? It's a big place and it's by no means certain that a small country like the UK could afford enough bombs to do the whole job.

Should we have bombed Washington, where the policies were formed? Or should we have concentrated on places where Irishmen are known to lurk, like New York, Boston and Philadelphia? We could have bombed any police station and fire station in most major urban centres, secure in the knowledge that we would be taking out significant numbers of IRA sympathisers. On St Patrick's Day, we could have bombed Fifth Avenue and scored a bull's-eye.

In those American cities we couldn't afford to bomb, we could have rounded up American citizens with Irish names, put bags over their heads and flown them in chains to Guernsey or Rockall, where we could have given them food packets marked 'My Kind of Meal' and exposed them to the elements with a clear conscience.

The same goes for Australia. There are thousands of people in Sydney and Melbourne alone who have actively supported Irish republicanism by sending money and good wishes back to people in the Republic, many of whom are known to be IRA members and sympathisers. A well-placed bomb or two Down Under could have taken out the ringleaders and left the world a safer place. Of course, it goes without saying that we would also have had to bomb various parts of London such as Camden Town, Lewisham and bits of Hammersmith and we should certainly have had to obliterate, if not the whole of Liverpool, at least the Scotland Road area.

Hezbollah rocket strike goes deeper into Israel
Afterward, Israel claims it has killed 26 Lebanese militant fighters

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/060728/060728_israel_damage_hmed_5p.h2.jpg

Hezbollah launched a new kind of rocket Friday that made its deepest strike into Israel yet, rattling Israelis as their warplanes and artillery blasted apartment buildings and roads gunning for guerrillas.

Lebanese officials said about 12 civilians died in the day’s fighting; Israel said it killed 26 militants, raising to about 230 the total number killed in the campaign.

Hezbollah’s launching of the new weapon unnerved Israelis, 500,000 of whom are already living in northern shelters because of rocket bombardments. The rocket firing was also likely to escalate a conflict now in its 18th day, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice heading back to the Middle East this weekend to make a second attempt to resolve the crisis.

The guerrillas said they used the Khaibar-1 — named after the site of a historic battle between Islam’s Prophet Muhammad and Jewish tribes in the Arabian peninsula — to strike the Israeli town of Afula.

“With this, the Islamic Resistance begins a new stage of fighting, challenge and confrontation with a strong determination and full belief in God’s victory,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

Five of the rockets crashed into empty fields outside Afula, causing no injuries. Still, Israel deployed a Patriot interceptor missile battery north of Tel Aviv, believing the area could be in range of Hezbollah’s barrages.

Four times more powerful
Israel said the Khaibar-1 rockets were renamed, Iranian-made Fajr-5s. They have four times the power and range of Katyusha rockets, making them able to hit Tel Aviv’s northern outskirts.

Hundreds of Katyushas have hit northern Israel in the current fighting, including 96 on Friday, one of which hit a hospital. The Afula strike came two days after Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah vowed his guerrillas would fire rockets beyond Haifa, Israel’s third-largest city, which has been hit repeatedly in the conflict.

A top U.N. peacekeeping official said he thought the war could continue until the end of August and voiced fears Israel would flatten Lebanon’s southern villages and destroy the port of Tyre “neighborhood by neighborhood” if Hezbollah rockets keep slamming into the Jewish state.

At U.N. peacekeeping headquarters in Naqoura, barely a stone’s throw from Israel, political affairs officer Ryszard Morczynski said Tyre would become a target of intense Israeli attacks because Hezbollah was firing rockets from the city’s suburbs into Haifa.

Rice’s second trip to the region comes as diplomatic efforts are solidifying into two sharply divided camps. Most agree on the idea of bringing international forces into the south to end Hezbollah’s decade-long free rein here — but still unresolved is how and when.

The United States, backed by Britain, wants the force to be part of a broad package that will disarm guerrillas along the border and move in the Lebanese army to end the Hezbollah threat to Israel once and for all. It says it won’t press for a cease-fire until such an agreement is reached.

Many Europeans and Arab countries are increasing the pressure for an immediate cease-fire first, followed by a plan to tackle the complicated issues of a force to curb the Shiite guerrillas.

Oil spills ruining environment
The deadlock allowed the offensive to persist with a new dimension of destruction emerging — the environment.

Beaches in Beirut were black with oil spilled from a power station that was blasted by Israel two weeks ago and was still burning. In the south, rescue workers dug through the rubble of bombed houses, looking for bodies.

Late Friday, the Israeli army said it killed 26 Hezbollah guerrillas in fighting for the Shiite town of Bint Jbail. The army did not report Israeli casualties, but Israel Radio said six soldiers were wounded.

Hezbollah has verified 35 guerrilla casualties. The competing claims could not be resolved independently.

Hezbollah said its guerrillas attacked Israeli troops on a ridge overlooking Bint Jbail and in Maroun al-Ras, a nearby villages that Israeli troops overran last weekend. The guerrillas said five Israeli soldiers were wounded.

Eight Israelis died fighting for control of Bint Jbail on Wednesday, the highest toll of the campaign. Bint Jbail had the largest Shiite community along the border; it was known as the “capital of the resistance” during Israel’s 1982-2000 occupation because of its vehement support for the Shiite Hezbollah.

The Israel army said a half-million Israelis were living in shelters in northern Israel. U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland told CNN that 800,000 Lebanese had fled or were caught in crossfire.

The Israeli offensive began after Hezbollah guerrillas killed three soldiers and captured two others in a cross-border raid into Israel. The war with Hezbollah opened a second front for Israel, which was already battling Palestinians in Gaza after Hamas militants seized a soldier in a cross-border raid June 25.

Temporary troop withdrawal
Israeli tanks and troops pulled back to the Israel-Gaza border Friday after an unusually deadly incursion that killed 30 Palestinians over three days. The army said the withdrawal was temporary.

On Israel’s border with Lebanon, the United Nations decided to move 50 unarmed observers from their posts to the better-protected positions of 2,000 lightly armed U.N. peacekeepers after an Israeli bomb killed four observers this week.

With medicine, food and shelter trickling into the war zone in southern Lebanon, Egeland called for a three-day truce to let help aid get in and enable thousands of civilians trapped in the heat of the battle to get out — a call that got no response.

In Washington, President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said they want an international force dispatched quickly to southern Lebanon. But they said any plan to end the fighting must address the long-term issue of disarming Hezbollah.

“This is a moment of intense conflict in the Middle East,” Bush said. “Yet our aim is to turn it into a moment of opportunity and a chance for broader change in the region.”

In Beirut, Hezbollah signed onto a peace plan put together by the prime minister that calls for an international force and the Lebanese army to move into south Lebanon — a step that could mean the withdrawal of guerrillas from the border and eventual disarming.

But the plan requires not only a cease-fire first — but also a prisoner exchange and a resolution of several disputes between Israel and Lebanon that Beirut says fuel Hezbollah’s strength and gives it a reason to continue fighting.

A team of European Union leaders praised the proposals and the show of unity in Lebanon’s government, which has been paralyzed by divisions over the crisis. “We think (the plan) forms a good basis for a regional agreement,” said Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioka, whose country holds the EU presidency.

Pressure for a cease-fire
French President Jacques Chirac said his country will press for the rapid adoption of a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, increasing the pressure on the United States and Israel.

In southern Lebanon, Israeli missile strikes and artillery rained down around towns and roads targeting rocket sites and buildings believed connected to Hezbollah but wreaking destruction in populated areas.

One airstrike flattened a house in the village of Hadatha, and six people inside were believed dead or wounded, the Lebanese state news agency reported. Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV said all six were dead.

Missiles destroyed three buildings in the village of Kfar Jouz near the market town of Nabatiyeh, apparently targeting the apartment of a Hezbollah activist. A Jordanian was killed in a nearby house, and the blasts collapsed a shelter, killing a Lebanese husband and wife.

Three women were killed in strikes on their homes in other southern villages, security officials said. A wounded woman was rushed to the hospital in the village of Ain Arab, and more people were believed trapped in the debris of a destroyed building there.

An explosion, believed to be from Israeli artillery, hit a convoy evacuating villagers from Rmeish, lightly wounding a driver and a Lebanese cameraman for German TV news. Another strike hit a potato truck and a nearby car, wounding three.

At least 445 people have been killed in Lebanon in the fighting, most of them civilians, according to a Health Ministry count Friday based on bodies taken to hospitals. But Lebanon’s health minister estimated Thursday that as many as Lebanese 600 civilians have been killed, with other victims buried in rubble.

On the Israeli side, 33 soldiers have died in fighting, and Hezbollah rocket attacks on northern Israel have killed 19 civilians, the Israeli army said.

all i am saying is that all we ARAIBS do is talk and nothing else.......when something happens we are the first people to run/escape/flee etc.. from things and then point the finger at other things to divert the attention away from what we have done........why do u think a lot of us own fast cars.......cause the faster the car the quicker u can get away.......


this is a known fact and the problem is we don’t admit it……….we tend to not like to face the truth……

well, this is an unfortunate truth... i dont like to generalize but this is what many of us arabs have managed to become; blinded by oil, wealth and money, we forgot the real sense of what it means to stand for something
