A week later
One week after the Israeli Lebanese cease fire, let's take a look, has anything changed ?
- The Iranians are going ahead with their nuclear programmers and have been conducting a big military maneuver. They are sending weapons to the Hezbollah threw Turkey.
- The Syrians are threatening Israel and are insulting the rest of the Arab leaders.
- The Hezbollah is reaming and preparing for the next round of fighting and terror in the region.
- The Lebanese government had "reached" an agreement with the Hezbollah in which the Hezbollah doesn't have to apply with U.N security council resolution 1701 and doesn't have to disarm itself now the Hezbollah just need to hide it's weapons.
- The French, who were the leaders of the cease fire, are barley sending any soldiers to south Lebanon. All they wanted are headlines in the news papers to show to the rest of the world how France is important and what a big role it has in the E.U.
- The rest of the world has hardly any interest in 1701, now that there are no more rockets and air crafts they think the work has been done.
- Meanwhile the Hezbollah is not been disarmed and is rearming and preparing for the next round of violence, when Israel is imposing the U.N weapons embargo on the Hezbollah it gets criticized by the rest of the world and especially by the U.N Secretary general.
- All of those above lead to two conclusions:
- The U.N and it's security council are no more the a huge joke, nobody implements any of their resolutions. The only time in history when a U.N. resolution was taken very serious was in the end of world war II regarding Germany and it's armed forces. The only reason that happened is because Nazi Germany whose totally destroyed by the ellay's.
- It's a mater of time until the fighting will start again, this time for the sake of everyone I hope we will be prepared, and that the Hezbollah and it's ellay's will be totally destroyed, so when the fighting will really end there will be long lasting peace, just like in Europe.

Take control
There's been a lot of talking about a Lebanese army in the last two weeks since the Lebanese prime minister proposed that the Lebanese army would take control over southern Lebanon. One must ask him self were has the Lebanese army been since the Israelis left southern Lebanon six years ago, here are a few possible answers:
- The Lebanese army is too wick and can't take control of southern Lebanon and the country.
- The Lebanese army doesn't want to fight the Hezbollah and is too afraid.
- The Lebanese army is controlled by the Hezbollah and there for wouldn't fight it.
It looks like all of the above are right, the Israelis had been waiting for the Lebanese army for six years but they failed to take control. As a consequence the fighting broke again after six years and then again the Lebanese army didn't stop the Hezbollah, instead they ran away from the very few outposts they had in south Lebanon. I understand that most Lebanese are afraid from another civil war and are looking to find a big consensus with in Lebanese society, but there is no consensus now, all there is, is Shiite terror on Lebanese society.
It's about time that the Lebanese do to the Shiite terror what they did to the Syrians. I've been reading on the web a lot about the Lebanese independence intifada the same should be done to the Hezbollah, if the Shiite want to be a part of the society they must except the legal government, there laws and there army. That's the only way Lebanon would get real independence, and I'm also sure that when there is a real freedom and independence in Lebanon people will have better lives, and I'm also sure that it will bring peace with Israel a lot closer.
If the Lebanese army want to take control of it's country they need a lot of help from the U.S. and the E.U., the kind of help the Hezbollah if afraid from, they want the U.N. which had proved in the past that it can't do nothing to help Lebanon. Unifil has been sitting in Lebanon since 1949, what did it do ? Nothing !
I hope this time the people of Lebanon will take control of there lives.

World Press coverage of the Middle East
On the 30th of July the Lebanese Red Cross Society published that they had found 28 bodes under the rubble in Qana village, after the Israel A.F. had bomb and destroyed a building that rockets were launched to Israel. At the same time most press releases, world wide were around 60 people dead, hear are some of them: On 31th of July the BBC published that there are 54 dead, on the 30th CBS published that there are more then 50 people dead, on the 30th the Guardian published than more then 60 died. Reuters on August 1st reported of 54 dead, a day before Sky News reported of more than 50, Time Magazine reported the same day of 54 dead,the Washington Post also reported of 54 dead on the same day. The funny thing is that now a few after the number of dead people from Qana is staring to decrees, for example the Guardian published on the august 4th that 28 people died in the Qana bombing. Makes one wonder were those the western press get it's figgers from, looks like from the Hezbollah.

Interesting facts
- It wide excepted that in World war II the Germans were the aggressors.
- The total death is estimated around 52,000,000 people, which most of them are soldiers. Only in two countries the number of civilian casualties exited those of their army's. Poland & Germany.
- In Germany around 62,850,000 people died in the war, which are 9.5 % of the German population in the beginning of the war, 3,600,000 civilians, 3,250,000 soldiers.
- Just for example in Great Britain only 388,000 people died, which are 0.8% of the population. 326,000 of them were soldiers and only 62'000 were civilians.
- One can't avoid asking him self if maybe the reaction of the alley's was a little bit out of proportion.
- In the last 21 days theirs been fighting in the Israel-Lebanon border, a lot of people world wide ask them self if Israel's reaction was a bit exaggerated.
- As an human I'm sorry for all the people who die, no matter there political views or there religion. But as an Israel if fear for my life. The same way the R.A.F had to bomb Germany and kill people, we have to defend our selfs. The only deferent is that they killed civilians on propos, we don't.
- At the end of World War II the R.A.F missed the Gestapo headqutars in Denmark and it a children's hospital the out come was 85 dead Danish children. Unfortunately people die in wars, that's what's going in Lebanon.
- I wonder if someone in Europe, would have don something else in World War II and take the risk of lousing to the Germans ???

On the way home
Well' I just came home from a friend's exhibition, she just finished her fourth and last year of jewelry design in Bezalel. You see the thing is, that her school, which is considered the best, at least in Israel, doesn't have money even for designing the place a little nicer, it looked like a second hand market and not like a art exhibition. At least there was a nice road sing on the way home.

Hezbollah
All ready three weeks there's fighting in northon Israel, this time theirs a feeling we had enough. Suicide bombers, kidnappings and now rockets & missiles. The only thing you can see on television is news, all day news.
But still after three weeks the feeling is bad, Hezbollah is still operating, solders are getting killed, a third of the country is under bombing. We only want our solders back and to live quietly with our neighbours. A radical Islamic Shi'ite terrorist organization has taken the middle east and the world as their hostage. No one can defeat them everyone is afraid of them. The funny thing is that no one wants the even the Lebanese. I can't think of being a Christian in Lebanon, living under fear from those monsters, especially Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah is no deferent then Al Qeada if not worth then them, for a long time theirs been prove of a relation between them through the Iranians. The U.N. has past at 2004 a securty council resolution 1559, but has don nothing aginst the Hezbollah that would help the people in Lebanon or make the middle east a safer place.
