TIMBER!or it 'appears so' anyway.
Photo showing an Israeli crane obviously reaching into Lebanon to remove a tree (as they have relieved Palestinian people of so many olive trees (and economic stability) in their numerous 'good will' gestures towards their feisty prisoners who sided on the side of their own manifest destiny when they elected Hamas to represent them in free and open democratic elections) ....the photo has a very telling caption:
AP – Israeli soldiers use a crane as they appear to cut a tree on the Lebanese side of the border in the southern …
The deceptive language of the article from the AP is obvious:
"It was over the fence but still within Israeli territory," the
military spokesman's office said. He said the tree cutting was coordinated with
the U.N. peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, UNIFIL.The 'close' reading:
"The military spokesman" is left out there in the mind and a person might
believe this is a legitimate 'spokesperson' for legitimacy and in the same
breath denotes the provocative action in a matter of fact 'but still
within' Israeli territory. Huh? And it was 'coordinated' with
the UN gives the reader the feeling that the smiling Nepalese UN forces were
there assisting with the oiling of the chainsaw blades.
Israel is compelled to cut down a tree in Lebanese Territory that they insist is in a 'disputed' zone (look up disputed versus occupied territories) and on their property so to speak but inside the neighbor's fence. Mm hmm....we've heard this so many times before from Israel. It will be interesting to hear the reason for cutting down this tree. Was it offending something? Blocking drainage or leaving leaves and tree junk inside of Israel's well manicured garden? Did they ask the Lebanese government to do something about this 'offensive' tree first? Did they contact a governing body when the neighbor refused to do something about this noxious tree?
Never mind that Israel went on a killing spree in defense of their woodwork by killing a journalist, bombing a Lebanese home and knocking off a few soldiers in the immediate afterglow of calling out TIMBER!
The pattern of Israeli atrocities committed against the sovereign country known as Lebanon has always been to disrupt the peace of the Lebanese people at the height of summer vacation activity in the southern heartland. This year is not different.
It is a highly symbolic and significant act which will likely go unnoticed by the average observers in the Western media and by their constituents. It is also how the Golan Heights was slipped into Israeli pockets (another bulldozer gardening story that warms the cockles of my heart) some forty years ago at the end of the Six Day War.
Israel has been thwarted on all fronts in it's cosmological battle against their arch-rival Iran who now controls several important fronts and territories in the battle for social/political/religous dominance in the Middle East and none of those fronts is more important or more strategic than the one in South Lebanon where it is as common to see an Iranian flag flying as it is a Lebanese one.
"Tensions along the border have risen in recent months. Israel claims Hezbollah guerrillas have significantly expanded and improved their arsenal of rockets since 2006. Among other things, Israeli officials have accused Syria and Iran of supplying Hezbollah with Scud missiles capable of hitting anywhere in Israel, a claim Hezbollah has refused to confirm or deny."
"Adding to the friction, more than 70 people in Lebanon have been arrested since last year on suspicion of collaborating with Israel."
"Lebanese President Michel Suleiman denounced the fighting and urged the army commander to "confront any Israeli aggression whatever the sacrifices." "
Israel should be made aware that the Arab world is alot more coordinated now. The resistance movement (al moqawama) is not just a local and highly coordinated nationalist movement but an international one as well. There's a young man in my small American town who happily places Hezbollah graffiti on his facebook wall, there's alot of that now all the way over here. Inside of Lebanon, the government (who is expecting a public accusal by the "UN" against Hezbollah in the Israeli engineered execution/assassination of Rafik Hariri) has gone on the record ordering all Lebanese citizens to get on the right side of this one this time but you'll only know that if you read 'their' news, 'their' public addresses which the Zionist controlled media tries to obscure from your view. I assure you, if Israel blows it this time, its over and they've been told so up front and in no uncertain terms.
I'll be there in'sha'allah in a little over a month...or maybe not!
Death to Zionism, it's time has also come as all bad things go by the way-side. And they all inevitably do.
