So it begins. The beginning of the end of Christianity in the Middle East.
Iran couldn't get anywhere fighting Israel so they had the world save their behinds with another 'ceasefire'. Now they go after the lebanese people and government.
More Islamofacist zealotry exposed for what it is....for all the world to see.
How much will the world have to witness before they see that there is no choice but to stand firm and fight this evil scurge?
I think it's inevitable. Nasrallah published his plans/threats clearly and with plenty of notice back in September or October and he has been following through on them in the time and manner he had said.

Protesters Block Roads in Lebanon
**********************************************************
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -
Opposition protesters blocked roads with car tires around the Lebanese capital of Beirut and other regions on Tuesday to enforce a general strike aimed at toppling the government.
Opposition activists set out early to burn tires on major highways north and south of the city as well as a ring road around downtown Beirut, sending black clouds of smoke billowing into the air. Army troops and fire engines moved in to remove the obstacles.
Since Dec. 1, The pro-Syrian opposition, led by the Shiite militant group Hezbollah and its allies, have staged street protests and sit-ins, camping outside the prime minister's office, in a bid to topple the government of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had urged all Lebanese to go on strike to bring down the government. Saniora urged all Lebanese to ignore the call.
The turnout for Tuesday is seen as a test of strength between the government and Hezbollah-led opposition. Although both leaders sought to avoid violence, tension in the streets between their supporters is likely to be high.
Whoa Israeli news ping list guess what wacky Hezollah up too
Hezbollah vows 'very big action' ahead (threatens to bring down Lebanese govt. in the coming days)
Here we go.. thanks!
Gee now I don't understand why Israel didn't go smackdown on Hezollah when they had a chance THANK YOU OLMEHT he is Jimmy Carter of Israel
******************8AN EXCERPT *****************************
Hezbollah-led opposition protests in the Lebanese capital of Beirut are expected to escalate Jan. 23 before the Paris III international donor's conference in France that starts Jan. 25. Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has said he will use the funds raised at the conference to stabilize the economy, in addition to implementing a reform package that would increase the sales tax from the already unpopular 10 percent to 16 percent and raise gasoline prices. Siniora's proposed reforms have spurred the opposition to launch a one-day protest in order to coerce the Siniora government into meeting its demands for a Cabinet expansion that would increase Hezbollah's political representation.
Sources in Hezbollah's protest movement said they have received precise directions for the Jan. 23 rally, which will include a general worker strike and road blockades made of flaming rubber tires. Though Siniora already has vowed that the army will act to prevent the protesters from blocking the roads, Hezbollah has instructed the tire-burning teams to run and blockade others roads as soon as the army arrives to put out the fires on one road. Hundreds of used tires already have been stacked in preparation for the event. This "block-and-run" protest will primarily be concentrated in the Shiite and Christian areas of the city. The protesters plan to keep away from the Sunni areas in order to avoid communal clashes.
