Gotta add something I've just heared: Local media reported the bunker in the middle of Beirut (the one who was bombed via 23 bombs early in the morning) is actually located more than 10 meter below the ground, where parts of a mosque are still standing! they even interviewed a local resident who said "everything in this area was totaly ruined except this site".

What on earth did Hezbollah build there?

i'm most probably wrong, but here the media said it was a mosque, Hezbollah seem to confirm that their bunker was not hit...

i've long since given up trying to argue specific points with the israel-bashers on here, since they don't even listen to anything except self-referential "independent" media that jives with their preconceived notions.

i'll just say that the israel-bashers on moving train are almost invariably without any moral or intellectual integrity, whatsoever.

they cast their arguments against israel in terms of high-minded, internationalist, universalist, principles. they say they are not hateful, not antisemitic, just sickened by israel's actions and speaking their minds. they can't keep silent in the face of israel's "atrocities".

[sarcasm]that must by why there are so many threads on the moving train every day speaking out against russia in chechnya. or china in tibet. or sudan in darfur. [/sarcasm]

and no, this post does not ignore the real suffering of the palestinians and now the lebanese. i'll just say that now to preempt that utterly predictable and played-out response.

it would just be nice if the frequency with which posters on moving train express their sanctimonious outrage at human suffering, was commeasurate with the actual amount of suffering they are against, instead of the "coincidential" nationality of the people they are condemning.

Hence, it is located deep into the ground under that mosque, a place that bunker penetrable bombs can not reach... Amazing, and all of it is in the middle of a neighborhood in Beirut. Fucking bastards.

well again, i don't want to dispute you, but they say that the bunker was not at the mosque location, it was a mosque under construction that had nothing to do with hezbollah, the bunker is not there, it's probably close in the neighbourhood, but it seem like they miss the target.

so how come the mosque's foundations were not damaged and the rest of its surroundings were ruined? It is very odd. 23 massive bombs are not likely to miss one specific target...

I don't know what to think.

:(... me neither, i don't know... but it seem to me that 23 massive bombs would get rid of any bunker, if it was a bunker then great, the faster they find em (if they ever do), the faster it stop...

edit: what seem to be certain though, is that they have not killed anyone with that attack, terrorist or civillians. Terrorist were not there, and civillians have deserted the area...

They can not get rid of a bunker which was built like a well protected nuclear facility: V-E-R-Y deep into the ground, covered with e-n-o-r-m-o-u-s amount of concrete. The best that money from Iran could buy inside of a southern Beirut neighborhood. Have you seen Nasaralla today? He looked so contented, made me sick to my stomech. God knows how many orban bunkers he has in Lebanon, and how the hell he was able to build them with no interfering.

well, you know medias were allowed in that area, and it doesn't look like there was a bunker there, at best if there was something from Hezbollah, it was a basement with thick concrete walls and yes it was destroyed. Also they say it's 23 tons and not 23 bombs, i don'T know which one is real, but it doesn't really matter now anyway...

edit: i saw that Nasrallah on CNN via Al Jazeera, he sure think he's invest with some power he obviously don't have, he must be arrest, but then someone else will take his place, and then another, and then another. I believe the problem need to be adress diferently this time around, again i don't know how...
