That's my take on it too. I do find it interesting that they chose Germany for this. It almost seems as though they were trolling to see if Germany still harbors the antisemitism that was policy there in the 1930s-40s.

I have a question--Is there anyone who lives in Lebanon who is NOT a foreign national?

My guess, judging by what we've seen of evacuees, is that these are not "foreign nationals" to Lebanon, but rather Lebanese citizens who've acquired (dual) citizenship -- legally, illegally, or as anchor babies -- in a western country.

Thanks. After trying to spell it right once or twice I realized it wasn't worth the effort. Amadgonad just fits better and is easy to spell. :)

"I assumed you meant to put the word "not" before "real seizures"

No. Pseudo seizures are real seizures. The term is just used to differentiate between epileptic seizures and those caused by psychosis.

Great picture of a fighting man. Reminds me a bit of the famous Falluja marine. I think he was dubbed "marlboro man" 'cause he had a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

TY

Thank you very much. I must add that. And because God is just, Israel will not lose. :)

According to Stratfor: Israel has launched ground operations into southern Lebanon, deploying at least five brigades overnight July 20-21, including paratroopers, commando forces and a tank brigade. These troops are encountering heavy resistance from Hezbollah forces, who are armed with anti-tank missiles for use against Israel's Merkava tanks. The Hezbollah forces also are holed up in underground shelters, bunkers and tunnels -- all well-defensible positions.

Look well at Kofi's hand, the same hand that shook the hands of so many m#urderers, liars and thieves during his tenure, not to mention the hand that is always extended, palm up, for the next bribe (think oil for fraud). On balance, Kofi Anan is one of the most dangerous men in the world because he gives legitimacy to the most evil people on earth.

Also, there is no evidence to back up the theory that Muhammad suffered from epilepsy other than his seizures, so my particular theory is that he suffered from PD and that his seizures were also pseudo seizures. Much of what is known about him does suggest this. Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time around.

It's a shame your friend is caught up in this... they should really help get Hez out of there... would make a world of difference, but the enemies they'd make (as if the enemy hasn't been there lording it over them all this time). I posted this for what it says close to the end re: Syria

From your link:
"The Lebanese army has grown from 35,000 to 70,000 since the end of Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war, far outnumbering Hezbollah's estimated 6,000 fighters. But its troops lack guerrilla battle experience and religious zeal. The army has no fixed wing aircraft and its helicopters are equipped only with machine guns."

Bibi was right all along.

To the tune of Danse Macabre, it works for me.
