What Really Happened

• The militant group Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers during clashes Wednesday across the border in southern Lebanon, prompting a swift reaction from Israel, which sent ground forces into its neighbor to look for them.

The Lebanese police said that the two soldiers were captured as they "infiltrated" into the town of Aitaa al-Chaab inside the Lebanese border. [Hindustan Times 7/12/06]

  Israel's military response by air, land and sea to what it considered a provocation last week by Hezbollah militants is unfolding according to a plan finalized more than a year ago.
  
  In the years since Israel ended its military occupation of southern Lebanon, it watched warily as Hezbollah built up its military presence in the region. When Hezbollah militants kidnapped two Israeli soldiers last week, the Israeli military was ready to react almost instantly. [SFGate 7/21/06]

Do you get it yet?

Israel sent troops across the border into Lebanon. They then claimed the captured invaders were "kidnap victims" and launched their attacks.[Source..]

How about the good truth?

[Fidelista]

If this is true , we are all fools . It had better not be or the whole bombing campaign would become indefencable. I am too tired to read up and I afraid I might get too angry--maybe tomorow. >.f

I understand!

Last April, Hezbollah militants infiltrated the border in order to abduct Israeli citizens. And their attempt was thwarted by IDF.
It is a new strategy developed by both Hamas and Hezbollah in order to proceed in prisoners exchanges.

Security forces, backed by helicopters, were scrambled to the eastern border due to concerns that the figures were Hizbullah guerrillas that had crossed the border to kidnap soldiers and civilians. The Northern Command has been on high alert over the past month after the army said Hizbullah had increased its activities along the border.

That crap you have is by a left wing website Knight 47 .CNN is the real news do you not think they would tell it all .Get real but you cannot your brain had to reach for opinionated manure.

[linskyjack]

Its amazing how fast the conspiracy theorists from the radical left come out of the woodwork.
We have the 9/11 conspiracy now the Israeli conspiracy---Both have something in common---Jews are involved!

We can dispense with this selective cutting and pasting by merely listening to the words of the head of Hezbollah Nasrallah who publically admits that they went across the Israeli border, killed some soldgers and kidnapped two others.

Enough said.

ok...all i'm really asking for here is a little consistency....personally, i think its difficult to know exactly what's happened anywhere (sometimes even in my own home), but i understand that we're all going to end up believing pretty much what makes our world view the most comfortable

but now CNN is the real news?....i don't know you, Littlefield, well enough to put a label on you....but i do know that the most conservative folks on this board call CNN the "communist news network", and dismiss most of what it has to say, at least regarding bush and iraq

but now it appears to be a verifable and accurate source for this conflict.

why is that?

the larger issue, of course is why the jersulaeum post is so wonderful and knights source is so dispicable

seems it boils down to what someone WANTS to believe is the truth

for example....is it true that back in 82, the shiites in southern lebanon loved the isrealis because the palesinians treated them so badly?....it is true that all that changed when the israelis occupied southern lebanon ala bush-in-iraq style, completely alienating the population there?....is it true that hezbollah now does so much unsung good works among the population of southern lebanon that they are in very significant ways inseparable from the population?

if all that were true, would it change your perceptions?

[linskyjack]

Jerusalem Posts is a legitimate paper that often publishes alternative views to a given issue. The other crap does not. Cnn has been accurate and pretty fair in its reporting. The ****es never "loved the Israelis". Hezbollah does good among the masses---but so did the Nazis----.

Answer this Iltos---because I still haven't had one person from the other side even attempt it.

Why does Hezbollah, a government within a government have 10,000 missiles aimed at Israel---from within a soverign state?

[Littlefield]

I admit I am conservative but independent .CNN has by far the most accurate international news in my opinion compared to Fox, MSNBC and others.I look at all and find this to be the way.
