As far as Syria is concerned, there never was a Lebanon.
I hope you realize no Arab or European state has received as much US foreign aid since WWII as Israel, and Israel alleges to be the only democracy in the Middle East."It was 'divide and conquer' that made it possible for an insignificant island in the north of Europe to rule the world. Division and chaos, tribal, religious and ethnic hatred, were the secret to empire.
"Guns and artillery were always in the background in case things went awry, but in fact, it rarely came to that.
"It would appear the Israelis have paid close attention to English colonial policy because their policies in the Occupied Territories bear a distressing resemblance to Ireland under the Penal Laws
"The Israeli Knesset recently prevented Palestinians married to Arab Israelis from acquiring citizenship, a page lifted almost directly from the 1692 laws.
"Israeli human rights activist Yael Stein called the action 'racist,' and Knesset member Zeeva Galon said it denied 'the fundamental right of Arab Israelis to start families.'
"Even the U.S. is uncomfortable with the legislation. 'The new law,' said U.S. State Department spokesman Phillip Reeker, 'singles out one group for different treatment than others.'
"Which, of course, was the whole point."

Of course.
You do realise that the same law is evident in the Islamic nations surrounding Palestine, and no Israeli is allowed to even enter half of them. For the record the European Union also has similar laws in place to stop the illegal marriages of migrants to paid brides for citizenship.
I hope this isn't a "tabloid website"Communication is fine, George. You don't do that. Your cutting and pasting of articles from tabloid websites which designed to promote conspiracy theories are really quite laughable."Syrian warplanes bombed on Wednesday a barren range of Lebanese hills used by Syrian rebels and refugees to cross between the two countries, wounding at least 10 Syrians who were rushed to hospital in a nearby Lebanese town, Beirut's state-run National News Agency said.I wonder if Mr. George will ever own up as to why he is spamming this forum with the same old Cuts and Pastes. Cutting and pasting an article once should be enough. What would Mr. George do if he couldn't Cut and Paste his way through forums?
Cross-border strikes have been particularly intense this week around the town of Arsal, where thousands of Syrians have fled to escape their country's civil war over the past months. The attack came days after Lebanese forces fired on Syrian helicopters near the border, an apparent attempt by Lebanon to signal that it would be forceful in defending its territory..."
"More than 130,000 people have been killed so far in the war, now in its third year, according to the Observatory. The group closely monitors the violence in Syria through a network of activists across the country. The U.N. said in July that 100,000 Syrians have been killed, and has not updated that figure since. One third of Syria's entire pre-war population of 23 million people has been displaced because of the fighting."
We can all be sure Has(ally)bara would be far more wonderous if a proportionate number of Jews had been maimed, murdered, and displaced by US sponsored aggression in the New Middle East

BTW, Moron...why would anyone communicate on the internet without using its resources?
$118 billion since the end of WWII has gone to Israel.You don't think more was spent on Iraq or Afghanistan?
US give more to the arab states than to Israel.

I suspect the true cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will eventually make the $118 billion look like pocket change, by comparison.

"On Monday, the Lebanese army fired on Syrian aircraft that they said violated the country's airspace. It was the first time Lebanon had defended its borders from Syria's military since the uprising broke out nearly three years ago."
Do you have any idea what would happen to the Lebanese army the first time it fired on the Israeli aircraft that regularly violate their air space?

To whom much is given, much is expected, or maybe you think Arab apartheid and human rights violations justify the same crimes when Jews control the monopoly of state violence?

Syria lost it's whole air force and air defense going up against Israel. Jordan and Egypt were usually out classed. Lebanese Air Force have given warning, when it had planes, to Israelis, but avoided direct confrontation. They might have been trained in the beginning in the same places, usually England, but the type of planes and maintenance, nor the type of training back home were not the same.
Now Israel's air superiority would be hard to match.
Lebanon is long over due to for it's own air force again. Time for it to protect it's land, not have militias like Hezbullah act as self appointed armies picking who to wage war on, without Lebanese consent or consideration.
The cowardly IDF got their ass handed to them by Hezbollah in their ill fated invasion of Lebanon in 2006
And I seriously doubt Israel wants to repeat that military mistake again. ....

And as usual, you're clueless, ignorant of the facts and have nothing of value to contribute. ......

Good post, aris2chat. In connection with Lebanon not having militias like Hezbullah acting as self appointed armies, that is problematic. The true military power in Lebanon today rests with Hezbullah via their being financed by the Iranian mullocrats. The important decisions regarding matters of war and political strategy as promoted by Hezbullah are being made and conducted by Iran. While Hezbullah has seats in the Lebanese Parliament, they act without regard to being a part of that representative government. The war that Hezbullah initiated with Israel in 2006 was a disaster for Lebanon. That war was initiated unilaterally by Hezbullah without regard or consideration for their responsibility to the Lebanese government. The Lebanese have made (or at least created the perception of having made) common cause with Hezbullah against Israel and in so doing, they risk sharing Hezbullahs fate.
The bottom line is that the sunni/salafi/wahabbi version of Islamic totalitarianism is competing in a blood feud with the shia/Alawite version. Both sides have a vested interest in repression and exploitation. For example, Lebanon's occupation by Syria, while being a burden and existential threat to the everyday Lebanese, is an invaluable asset to the al-Assad - Alawite regime and to the Hezbullah fascists under his protection. They won't give it up without a fight that will not stop until there is one last jihadi standing, (and I hope a Marine sniper is there to take out that loser).
