Not content to destroy the Lebanese infrastructure, now the Israelis have created a potentially huge ecological/environmental disaster!

July 27, 2006 — A Lebanese NGO has launched an international appeal for help to combat the environmental crisis caused by a huge oil spill south of Beirut, more than two weeks into an Israeli air war.

"The escalating Israeli attacks on Lebanon did not only kill its civilians and destroy its infrastructure, but it is also annihilating the environment," warned the Green Line Association.

It said an air strike two weeks ago on Jiyeh power plant which serves southern Lebanon had resulted in a 15,000-ton oil spill.

Oil Slick reaches Byblos & Batroun : North Lebanon
according to reliable sources in the north of lebanon, the oil slick now extends along more than 60% of the lebanese coast

it has contaminated the shores of Byblos, Amchit, & Batroun

this environmental disaster was the result of israeli bombardment of civilian lebanese oil and fuel tanks at the Jiyyeh powerplant 20 kms south of beirut.
the disaster is expected to impact all the eastern mediterranean basin, including Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Greece, and others
- no ships have been sunk on or around the lebanese coast.
- this is not an accident or the result of an exchange of fire in hostile territory.
- this is a deliberate and precise targeting of the oil tanks and powerplants along the lebanese coast by israeli warplanes.

I hope that every member and supporter of Hezbollah, Iran, Syria et al

I agree. What the hell did they think was gonna' happen when rockets started falling on Israel? Did anyone actually think that Israel would sit idly by and allow the citizens to get pummeled without responding.

Israel doesn't sit by when they're attacked, and they hit back hard. They have to, otherwise, they wouldn't be feared. Everyone in the region knows it, so feigning shock or surprise doesn't cut it.

Hezbollah should clean up the mess. They brought this whole thing on Lebanon.

Yea! How did anyone expect Israel to respond? By not using terrorism themselves or something??

Dude, are there any of America's enemies that you don't like?

Israel is doing exaclty what any country would do if they're attacked, but because it's the land of the Jews, it's wrong in the eyes of the world, and of the American left.

If this were France, they would be hailed as freedom fighting defenders of peace. But it isn't, it's Jews killing Muslim fanatic religious zealots, so they must be wrong.

The people Israel are attacking would kill you or I in heartbeat, and then have a celebration, so defending them boggles my mind.

The one good thing is, the fanatic Muslims, in their zealousness, always overstep their boundaries sooner or latter and get their clocks cleaned. I hope and pray that they continue to make the same stupid mistaked until they're reduced to nothing, then maybe we could have some peace.

Hopefully it will drift down to Israel and they can choke on it as well.

Rockets didn't fall untill after Israel bombed the crap out of civilians.

My hope is that the US and Britain will stand tall against the Euro Nazis that still hope for the murder of all Jews.

I hope that Israel kills every last Hezbollah member and their supporters.

Hopefully it will drift down to Israel and they can choke on it as well.Would that include the innocent Israeli women and children as well or are they just as guilty for existing like the armed forces?

I think Israel needs to make a nuclear demonstration in Syria, nothing big, just light up some empty desert and turn it to glass to get the point across.

Dude, can you think for yourself or do you just copy and paste from RNC.com?

There you go with the Jew card again, not every country in the world responds to the actions of a few by destroying an entire country and indescriminately slaughtering their civilians which if anybody else did it it would be called terrorism.

Admit it, the only reason all the right wing religious wackos support Israel is because they believe a major conflict in the region will bring about the rapture sooner.


If this were France, they would be hailed as freedom fighting defenders of peace.

If what was France? Why does France always come into every debate?

Part of the playbook.

But it isn't, it's Jews killing Muslim fanatic religious zealots, so they must be wrong.

Good God, you don't even realize the side you choose is no different than the "Muslim fanatic religious zealots", you're just on the opposite extreme.

Fanatical Muslim terrorists justify killing innocents on the other side and so do you and all the apologists for Israel's collective punishment of an entire nation.

You guys are all fanatics, the normal people just wish all of you would go over there and leave us out of your religious wars. We don't want blowback to visit our shores one day because of people who can't stop fighting like little kids in a sandbox.

You don't know what you're saying, Lebanon has recently become a major tourist destination, which is why so many foreigners were evacuated after Israel started terrorizing the nation, so obviously they wouldn't just murder Americans or any other westerners for no reason at all.

And to set your mindless rants straight, the only, I repeat, only people defending any terrorism, or wonton slaughter of innocents is YOU, and every person who supports the Israel military's destruction of Lebanese cities and the murder of hundreds of innocent civilians including many children.

You Christian fanatics ought to look in the mirror before you demonize others of doing exactly what you do.

It's good because racists like killing Arabs.

Exactly, for all the talk and whining you guys do about people supposedly supporting fanatical Muslim terrorists, you support genocide and terrorist tactics yourself.

That's the thing with real extremists, the more they talk, the more they expose how extreme they really are, not those of us who actually want peace.

The difference between you and I is that you believe that there can be peace brought forth by men, but I know that there can be no peace when prophecy clearly states that there can be no lasting peace until Jesus Christ defeats the enemies of Israel and becomes master over this mortal world again.

Hey, it sounds shitty, I know, but what can we do? Nothing.
