A Cell Phone Civil War in Lebanon

Posted by Matt in May 8th, 2008

The rattle of gunfire and crump of exploding rockets that shook the near-deserted streets of Beirut Wednesday seemed to signal the arrival of the long-feared showdown between the Western-backed government and its opponents led by Hizballah. Thick plumes of black smoke from barricades of burning tyres cast a deep pall over the capital, as many Lebanese gloomily pondered whether the country’s feuding leaders can pull back from the brink. “Both sides have dug in their heels,” said Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, a political analyst and expert on Hizballah. “I think there’s going to be a battle for the state now.” Perhaps, but the unlikely catalyst behind the latest flare-up was a government attempt to regulate Lebanon’s telephone system.

My Comment:

The title of this article is misleading. There’s more to the phone system than meets the eye.

CNN & New Yorker - Bush Planned Lebanon War Months Before
Today on CNN, Seymour Hersh of the New Yorker, the one who mainstreamed the Abu Gahrib story, has confirmed with insiders that Bush and the Israeli Government planned months in advance that any incident, no matter how small, would ignite a broad and punishing response by Israel in a preemptive move to start a war with Iran. Bush's Neocon advanced plan actually included Israel destroying Hezbollah's missles as pre-cursor to an attack on Iran. The war with Iran is on the assembly line. Only a mass (I mean millions of people marching) protest will stop this insane neo-dictator in the Whitehouse. Hersh even says that Bush doesn't even regard Congress or the people when deciding foreign policy. I think this little vid is an ominous insight. Make this TUBE go viral far and wide.

Second Lebanon War 2006
I made this movie about the recently Second Lebanon War 2006, occured in July-August 2006. Although I'm Israeli, I've tried to show images from both sides. From the IDF soldiers inside and outside of Lebanon, the damage to buildings in both Northern Israel and Lebanon, International protests for both sides, Hizbollah's warriors and leaders, and the 3 kidnapped Israeli soldiers: Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldvaser and Eldad Regev. This is my first movie ever, I hope you'll enjoy it, and the great song "Stop crying your heart out", by Oasis.

Second Lebanon War - Yizkor
Yizkor (memorial prayer) for the brave soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the protection of the Jewish People's one and only homeland, Israel, against the aggression of the terrorist regimes Iran, Syria, and their proxy army Hizballah. Shai Gabso sings...ארים ראשי הולך אני כעת במשעול ההווה כילד ההולך לו לאיבוד כפות ידי הן מושטות מבקשות את העזרה להמשיך איתך את המסע ובצדדים הפרחים כאילו איבדו את זהותם מחפשים עוד קרן אור שתעזור עוד לגימה קטנה של מים ממעייני החוכמה תביא להם את התקווה ארים ראשי, אשא עיני אל ההרים במרחקים וקולי ישמע כזעקה, כתפילת...
