Keep in mind the 9000 Lebanese POW's being held in Israel, when you read this. Then remember that Israel justified this offensive because Lebanon has two solders. Time is of the essence!
**There is no doubt, in my experience, that Israel calculated the timing of this offensive to coincide with American Elections. We know that Israel has been planning this offensive for 5 years now. It is also noteworthy that the northern border of Israel is predominately Islamic, since they took over that part of Palestine. Ariel Sharon himself said "He would not go into Lebanon again."
***The current president of Israel has no military background, and merely states "It's not like making a pizza." He sure went into Lebanon like he was making a pizza. Lebanon's government was only 20 years old, and you do not put up a government, like you make a pizza. You sure can tear it down with a few bombs, very quickly. All you need to do is bomb the town halls and the police stations, as Israel has found so effective in Palestine on numerous occasions. As a result more than a million innocent civilians have been displaced, and the aid can not get in safely, lest we forget to morn the four dead UN Workers last week? These unarmed peacekeepers called 10 times, during the course of 12 hours, and were hit directly. It is also noteworthy to appreciate Israel has never listened to The United Nations, anyway. There are at least one thousand, mostly innocent DEAD civilians have been living in hell. Did you see the children building coffins for their friends on tv?
*****And so the hate is nurtured, and as a result there are more Hezbollah than ever. The sad part is the people in this country just nod their heads to whatever the Israeli government wants to do, for fear of being designated antisemitic. One should ask how these attitudes that established Israel in the first place, ever took hold? Americans do not have any problem with people criticizing the American Government, but heaven forbid you criticize the far right in Israel.
*******Another sad fact is Israel is not safer for this offensive. Yes Syria and Iran are planning their tactics. Why should we expect them to be sitting back and watching while their friends are being slaughtered like they are subhuman?This is no simple fight. We are on the brink of a nuclear Holocaust, and the fact that people just don't get it is a sad sad reality of where we are leading themselves, and using The American Flag to endorse it.NOT THIS VOTE!
**********The Good News is, yes I voted today. It is still one man one vote, and I know that Israel is leading The United States on a course, I fear we may never recover from. This offensive leading Israel further and further outside of its borders only creates the fibers of war. And it is so sad that the American People do not even see what they somehow seem to know instinctively is just bad news. And the weather is fine in Connecticut, today...
......And it was Joe's failure to intervene and stop Israel from making this terrible and probably futuristic disaster, which swung my vote to Ned Lamont, and no I am not antisemitic! I am anti-fascist!
And I HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY SO, instead of merely sitting back and being silenced, belittled, degraded and humiliated by my enemies. They don't play fair. They use me for entertainment, with no concern of what they have taken from me, and the cost. The tremendous, priceless cost of life liberty and the basic human rights I so earnestly deserve, and should be cherished WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!
Yours truly,
One Vote for Ned Lamont
