Israel: Hizbullah firing on Christian holy city
Yedioth Ahronoth ^ | July 19, 2006 | Ronny Sofer

Posted on 07/19/2006 11:05:24 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Israel is planning on citing the lethal rocket attack on Nazareth as part of its public relations campaign.

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem ordered its ambassadors Wednesday to transfer a message to the nations of the world that "Hizbullah is directing its missiles also against a Christian holy city – Nazareth, out of an intention to strike their holy symbols." Two children, aged three and nine, were killed by the Hizbullah rockets while playing outside their Nazareth home.

A short time after the strike on Nazareth, the Foreign Ministry's senior officials held a meeting.

"They do not distinguish between Jews and Arabs and Christians. These rockets strike out of intention a holy city to Christianity, to send a message. Their ability to direct these rockets have been proven. There's no doubt that they planned to hit one of the central places of faith for Christians, a symbol of hundreds of millions around the world," a Foreign Ministry official said.

Ambassadors were told that it "it is just a coincidence that an ancient church was not struck there, a center for many Christian pilgrims."

A source in the Foreign Ministry stressed to Ynet that up to now the world believed that the Hizbullah attack was on Jews alone. "In actuality, as can be seen on strikes on Nazareth and other Arab communities, the terror is not directly only at Jews, and all Israeli citizens are exposed to it. There here is a message to the world, as to the true face of terror in general and the terror of Hizbullah specifically."

Has the Vatican condemned bombing the hometown of Christ?

They don't distinguish between Jews, Arabs, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Shinto-ists, animists, and other Muslims (when it suits their purpose)! They have no respect for any human life whatsoever!

I'm sure they're in consultation with Kofi Annan about it at this very moment.

Mecca can become a target if need be as well, especially after Islam attacks the Vatican (which it will).

Hey, such things should be negotiated! If price is right they could distinguish for year or so...

They worship a false god, some say a moon god.

I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

Thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate Me.

Deuteronomy Chapter 5 kind of said it all IMO.

I'm just waiting for one of those Hezbillah(sp?) missels to hit the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Now that will make things interesting.

[There] here is a message to the world, as to the true face of terror in general and the terror of Hizbullah specifically."

Hizbullah must be stopped (killed) world wide - in order to do that people other than soldiers and terrorists will be killed. That is what happens in WAR and we are at WAR. Stop the body counts as it is irrelevant and get on with the winning!

GO ISRAEL

It doesn't mean anything to them. Cite the destruction of Joseph's tomb, the siege of the Church of the Nativity a couple of years ago.

From a parable that Jesus tells, Luke 11:21 -

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his posessions are safe."

(As an aside - in Verse 23 He says "He who is not with me is against me...."
