Hizbollah rocket kills 12 Israeli soldiers

[sonz]

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hizbollah killed 12 Israeli soldiers on Sunday in its deadliest rocket strike yet and Israeli bombs killed 19 Lebanese civilians as Lebanon rejected a draft U.N. resolution to end the 26-day-old war.

A rocket struck a group of Israeli reservists, called up for the Lebanon offensive, in the Israeli village of Kfar Giladi. Medics said dozens were wounded.

Soldiers near the scene held their heads and one wept as a military ambulance pulled away. Helicopters landed nearby to fly the badly wounded to hospitals further from the war front.

"I don't recall so many dead ever. This is terrible," said Ron Valensi, head of the upper Galilee municipal council and a resident of Kfar Giladi, speaking on Channel 2 Television.

Lebanon's parliament speaker Nabih Berri said his country rejected the U.S.-French draft Security Council resolution because it would let Israeli forces stay on Lebanese soil.

Berri, a Shi'ite politician who has been the main channel between Hizbollah and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, said the draft ignored the Beirut government's seven-point plan calling for a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the return of all displaced civilians among other things.

"All of Lebanon rejects any resolution that is outside these seven points," Berri told a news conference.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that agreeing on a resolution would not end all fighting.

"I would hope that you would see very early on an end to large-scale violence," she said, but did not rule out "skirmishes for some time to come."

U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said that once a resolution was adopted, Washington wanted a second one establishing a peacekeeping force in days, not weeks.

Hizbollah, backed by Syria and Iran, has killed 57 Israeli soldiers and 33 civilians in the conflict, sparked when its men seized two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid on July 12.

Why would you ever rejoice in the death of anyone?

I was always taught to mourn the death of my enemies, because everyone was put on this earth by G-d.

Does Islam teach to rejoice the deaths of your enemies? Please tell me. I am very interested.

I'd rejoice it, they want to crush Islam, their whole big plan is to occupy the Middle East, if not all of it, and for these terrorists to finally be taught, we are not going to stand you any longer. I rejoice.
Also, Jihad (holy war) is what I think Hezballah are doing, because they are destroying those who try to destroy Islam, unfortunatly their have been innocent casualities on both side, but destroying the enemies, I find no reason not to rejoice in the name of Islam.

Is Israel trying to destroy Islam?

If so, why do they allow Muslims to have full rights and worship free in there country?

There are thousands of Mosques in Israel, many of which are gaurded by Israeli soldiers as all religious houses of prayer are.

Do you really think that Israel is trying to destroy Islam? I see that as a very extreme claim which does not have much basis.

Settle down and really think about the claim you just made. Did you make this claim because of the situation right now, where many civilians on both sides are tragicly being killed?

I hope you have not let your emotions control your thought.

When a suicide bomber dies, it is because he killed himself, and we usually mourn because he has taken many innocent with him.

This is irrelevant, its not their country. They have such rights as there is an apartheid in many israeli citys, especially Jerusalem. Also Arabs are disallowed to go into bomb/rocket shelters, thats why you see the news plastered with Arab casualies to make Hezballah look bad. When its just mindless propaganda, using Israeli-Arab innocents in their own favour. Its a war, and a PR war.

There are thousands of Mosques in Israel, many of which are gaurded by Israeli soldiers as all religious houses of prayer are.

If this is correct, I praise Israel for taking the efforts to protect all religoius houses of prayer without excluding Mosques.

Do you really think that Israel is trying to destroy Islam? I see that as a very extreme claim which does not have much basis.

Lol, no basis. Go look on the news, many sources claim Islam is bad, already we have taken the "terrorist" label because we fight back against the oppressors. Its not just Israel, the USA and Tony Blair. Its trying to destroy Islam in a way, where it can divide up all its territories and persecute innocents and eventually kill us all. Just like hitler done to your ancestors.

I hope you have not let your emotions control your thought.

Why do jews automatically assume things about me, Im a 16 year old from the UK, I occasionally indulge in watching the news. I research more into this, to see who is right and wrong. Emotions, I dont know anyone who has died, but what I have seen is ridiculous. I also hope your emotions on Hezballah and dead jews, still allow you to control yourself in a civil fashion.

[מדינת ישׂראל]

Did that article claim that all Israeli's rejoiced...

Maybe the family of the people who died because of his bombs rejoiced.

I just pray that G-d will rightfully judge him. It is not my place to rejoice in the death of others.

That is actually untrue.

In many cities, Jews are angry because the largest bomb shelters were all built in Arab parts of town, and many Jewish area bomb shelters are small.

If this is correct, I praise Israel for taking the efforts to protect all religoius houses of prayer without excluding Mosques.

It is completly true, under our law we must protect all religious freedom, which completly contradicts any claim to 'destroying islam'

After September 11, 2001, Bush went into a Mosque and declared Islam as a peaceful religion, Ehud Olmert PM of Israel has many times declared Islam as a very peaceful religion that Judaism can coexist with.

All Jews assume things about you? Interesting. How many Jews do you know?

It seems that emotions can often be the cause of outbursts and saying what you really don't mean in conflicts like this.

[afriend]

I hated every last missile that landed in the streets of haifah, my heart was breaking to see casualties in Israel and Lebanon......

But a death of a soldier is different, it is indeed war, and war is a bitter time, a death of a soldier is always to be rejoiced by the enemy...

This may sound barbaric, but tat is the reality of war, and the reality of it is that soldiers will kill, and be killed.....Rejoicing is natural on both sides, death of a soldier is one step towards accomplishment.......

But, I still feel that the resposibile cowards of this conflict lay in luxurious beds, in high class...While the soldiers who have no business with this conflict must suffer and take the prescribed punnishment.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

yes i suppose its a bit weird to kill someone that cry for them even though it happens now and then.

Anyway i feel sry for the "innocent" ie the families of those who die. But then again i feel even more sorry for the lebonese.

[I R Paki]

LOL? This has stuck, so he went to attack muslim countrys that had nothing to do with Terrorism, e.g Afghanistan and Iraq. Only then so-called "Terrorist" organizations formed. The PM mentioned this knowing there are many "Gilos" in occupied Palestine, with armed-jews with military bases near arab dominated areas. With strategically placed arab residential areas in Jerusalem. Yes, sure..

All Jews assume things about you? Interesting. How many Jews do you know?

Lots, Im part of a jewish-board, and with Lavikor and others and people IRL, I have automatically been assumed to be different?
Lavikor - sip on arab new channels.
Yourself - Dont have your emotions ... something or another.

It is completly true, under our law we must protect all religious freedom, which completly contradicts any claim to 'destroying islam'

Religous freedom, not generally protecting Muslims. E.G bomb shelters. Please read my posts from before, Oki?

Jews are angry because the largest bomb shelters were all built in Arab parts of town,

This is still the reason why Arabs are refused access to bomb shelters?

what difference does it do if we are 16 or not. Our points still remain no matter what the age.

Israel and US don't have a problem with muslims who don't care about the political aspect of their relgion, they don't care about the spiritual part of Islam, they care about the political Islam and they have declared a war against that and ISrael has clearly recently. They have labelled all those who believe in the political aspect of Islam which is clear in the Quran as radicals and they have declared a war against us.

They have waged a war against Islam, the only muslims who would not think so are ignorants or hypocrites.

Really. Why does Israel let Arab organizations in the country protest, and speak freely, as long as they do not actually aid people trying to destroy Israel.

If you were a Muslim in Israel right now, you could go out with a sign and protets all of what israel is doing.

You can join as many political islamic groups your little heart desires, and you can basicaly start a political party centering around islamic law and the hopes of bringing it to israel.

Does that sound like Israel hates Islamic politicals?

No, Political Islam has 100% rights by Israeli law.

I suppose that you dream of the day that I have to live in dhimmitude and have to pay the jizya?

No, we just want to have the muslim nation under shariah and righteous government that acts according to revelation as commanded by Quran. If the west fight us, then we will fight back, if they incline to peace, we would incline to peace, just like Quran says to.

This day NO STATE comes CLOSE to implementing "COMPLETELY" the sharia law. And for the sharia to be implemented a just and righteous leader is needed therefore forget the comparison. You cant make it, wait for the a just leader, then you;'ll understand the sharia.

If you want an understanding of the true sharia, research on the time of muhammad SAWS and Umar Bin Al-Khattab !!

In terms of knowledge people are 80 and know hardly much, although to the world it may seem that they know everything......

I always say, through the world's eyes, a person may know everything, but through knowlege's eyes they know nothing at all.....

At the end of the day, YOU have no moral legs to stand on.

Yes, DOUBLE STANDARDS, you said it yourself.

[Skillganon]

Rejoice in victory but don't on their death.

[abdmez]

Rejoice in victory but don't on their death.

Good saying.

[SirZubair]

The well known civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. said that in order for people to condemn injustice, they must go through four stages.

The first stage is that people must ascertain that indeed injustices are being perpetrated. In his case, it was the injustices against African Americans in the United States.

The second stage is to negotiate, that is, approach the oppressor and demand justice. If the ppressor refuses, King said that the third stage is Self-Purification, which starts with the question: "Are we ourselves wrongdoers?" Are we ourselves oppressors?"

The fourth stage, this, is to take action after true self-examination, after removing one's own wrongs before demanding justice from others.

We of the modern world are reluctant to ask ourselves -- when we look at the terrible things that are happening -- "why do they occur?" and if we ask that with all sincerity, the answer will come resondingly: "All of this from our own selves." In so many ways we have brought this upon ourselves. This is the only empowering postion we can take. The quran implies that if a people opress others, god will send another people to oppress then; We Put some oppressors over other oppressors because of what their own hands have earned (Quran 6:129)

According to Fakhruddin Al-Razi (a 12th century scholar of the Quran), the verse means that the existence of the oppression on earth may be caused by previous oppressions. By implication, often the victims of aggression were once aggressors themselves.

This, however is not the case with Tribulations, for there are times in which people are indeed tried, but if they respond with patience and persevance, God will always give them relief and victory. If we examine the life of the Prophet Muhammed S.A.W in Makkah, it's clear that he and the community of believers were being harmed and oppressed, but Prophet Muhammed S.A.W was not only free of oppression, but became the leader of the entire arabian peninsula. Those people who once opressed him now sought mercy from him; and he was most gracious and kind in his response. Despite their former brutality toward him, the Prophet (s.a.w) forgave them and admitted them into the brotherhood of faith ( And here you are,on forums, complaining every second of the day..)

THIS is the difference between someone whose heart is purified and sound, and one whose heart is impure and corrupt. Impure people oppress, and the pure hearted not only Forgive their oppressors but elevate them in status and character. In order to purify ourselves, we must begin to recognize this truth.

And if we turn around and do exactly what they do, we have no moral legs to stand on. If we do as they do, we can't say "look at what israel is doing...". IF you live in a glass house, don't throw any stones.
