August 2006

  • More than 200 rockets have been fired by Hizbollah at northern Israel since this morning.  This follows a short lull in attacks by the terrorist group. 

     
  • An Iranian or Syrian-manufactured Khaibar I rocket landed between Beit She’an and the West Bank city of Jenin, wounding seven people.  Beit She’an is about 70 km (42 miles) south of the Lebanese border and is the furthest location to come under fire. 

     
  • Hizbollah has fired over 2,000 Katyusha rockets at Israel since July 12. 

     
  • Magen David Adom has 750 ambulances on active duty and has taken care of nearly 1,300 wounded people in northern Israel since Hizbollah began their attacks.  Official figures put the number of injured closer to 1,800, however many lightly wounded people have refused treatment or went to the hospital later in the day. 

     
  • On the first of August, 2,641 blood units were donated to MDA Blood Services in blood drives around the country.  

     
  • Magen David Adom emergency crews have been working double shifts in the north since the outbreak of hostilities.  At the same time, calls to MDA have increased nationwide.  Magen David Adom is bearing a large burden as many of its personnel are reservists who have been called to duty in the past week.  MDA is circulating personnel from around the country to serve in northern Israel in order to maintain peak efficiency.

    Back home from Ohio.  Long drive up there but nice.  The weather was hot and humid until the last couple of days!
    Nice weather now.  The humidity is down a bit.  Chris has dissipated over the islands.  So good on all weather fronts.
    Looks like a warm week ahead with some thunderstorms.
    :)
    Going Monday to look at land with Chad.  Still wanting to find a place to build on.  You only live once you know...best
    to try and follow your dreams.  :)  I would love to have a piece of land where I can watch the sun rise and the sun set!
    Watching the storms wouldn't be a bad thing either ;)  
    So anyway...I guess Monday we will go drive around.  
    
    All other fronts are good...full steam ahead.
    School starts August 17th :)

    They say that 9/11 is the defining moment of this generation.  Mark my words that there will soon
    come a day when 9/11 is no longer that defining moment.  Attacks are on our doorsteps that will 
    likely change everything.  This is now a race against time.
     
    Canadian Free Press Story this morning
    Why you can't believe the media

    Media in Lebanon – The fevered manufacture of the liberal agenda
    Canada Free Press ^

    Lebanon, Reuters, AP, microcosm

    There is so much honest news to peddle, I don’t know why the media is offering us so much pure visible tommyrot when it comes to the Israeli attacks, unless they openly favor Hezbollah and have an axe to grind.

    We have some pretty compelling evidence that the results of the IDF attack on Qana was a put up job and the media’s trumpeting of it all was excessive and came without any serious investigation of Hezbollah’s claims.

    Reuters soon ran into trouble with their sad sorry attempt to peddle additional smoke signals in a photo of Beirut as reality and ended up firing the photographer and removing the photo from their file.

    Just when you thought Reuters couldn’t fall any farther into the growing manure pile of media manipulation, the Drinking From Home blog spot, via Lucianne.com, raises further suspicions about the media’s fairness, courtesy of an examination of the sobbing Lebanese woman shown in a series of photographs, where she is shown crying in front of her home (AP), and then wailing in front of the wreckage of her apartment (Reuters), at two different locations ( Click Here ). She’ll be crying again somewhere soon.

    Same clothes, same scar on her left cheek,
    same mark under her right eye. Two pictures
    of the same woman, maybe even taken on the same day.
     

    So, a Lebanese woman is trucked around to cry in front of different cameramen from different news agencies at varying locations. Camera men routinely doctor photographs to portray greater damage than there is. Fighter planes are juiced up with more flares than they actually drop. Dead children are passed around, over and over again, in front of the willing dupes in the fourth estate. Heart rending set piece shots, which were obviously set up by the photographer, are quickly gobbled up by our drive by media without a thought to "authenticity," or grounding in "reality."

    But why is the drive by media working so darned hard, over and over again, to portray Hezbollah as victims of an attack greater than that they are being subjected to and why is Israel, the only truly democratic, capitalist and free country in its immediate neighborhood, where Israeli, Arab, and Muslim alike, enjoy the same rights, being cast as the oppressor when they, in fact, were the initial victims in the whole affair?

    Where is the outrage over the Hezbollah attack with the Fajr-5 rockets on Haifa late Sunday night? Where there was no doubt, thanks to a free and open press, of the death of innocent civilians and the wounding of some 200 innocents? Where there is no need to "pose" the dead, to assemble "props" for quick shots, no need to amplify the smoke, and no reason to cloak the launching of the rockets from the hills above Tyre.

    As a kid, with the Holocaust a decade or so behind us, with Abba Eban in the UN, with Israel as an underdog, with Einstein at Princeton after refusing the Presidency of Israel, I seem to remember that the US press was far less predisposed to anti-Semitism and less disposed to grasp at every vaporous rumor.

    Somewhere along the way things began to slip.

    But I’m pretty sure that it has to do with the change of liberalism from that classic view where one could actually entertain a fear of real enemies and still view socialism as positive, to today’s, where Castro and Hezbollah are media darlings and conservatism, President Bush and Israel have become the greater enemies than Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Mr. bin-Laden, Sheikh Nasrallah, Mr. Ahmadinejad, and the mystic atomic moolahs in Tehran, who are threatening to obliterate Israel and torch the USA. Newspeak has trumped reality. Appeasement has trumped courage.

    Sadly, in Lebanon, where Israel telephones ahead of every advance in a reverse 911 system to warn everybody that they’re on the way, the media still damns them for killing civilians, where every one of their unremitting enemies is dressed in civilian clothing. And Hezbollah is never gigged for failing to remove the hapless civilians in Israel’s path.

    And the drive by media reports, without the interjection of the slightest caveat or footnote, that every single Lebanese victim is a civilian. Yet this same media thinks nothing of doctoring every photo it can to paint Israel as cruelly as possible while giving the purveyors of terror every break imaginable.

    There is a liberal agenda which is furthered by their hand maidens in the media. And this agenda, which operates against the State of Israel in every case when she defends herself from her murderers, Iran and Syria, can be read in only one stark way.
