Israel is now very very worried in case its citizens or businesses or embassies are targeted all over the world . israeli embassies in Mauritania , Jordan , Egypt and the Financial offices in Qatar have the best security ALL roads leading to the embassy are now locked and the residents in those streets have to have a special permits to go home. people can not park their cars near their homes close to the embassy they have to find another parking spot very very far .  but that s israel , it committs crimes and expect provocation and then complains if there is retaliation , which will come eventually .

No i dont think saudi fears for the welfare of the sunnis (many hundred thousands support Hezbollah including ALL sunni Palesitnian refugiees and most sunnis in North africa and elesewhere)

Saudi inteferes in lebanon policies and is siding with David welsh , jeffrey feltman and the US pressure , and support US puppet Siniora . instead of being ubiased and neutral to help the lebanese come to an agreeement. Saudi was against hezbollah during the war and Made its clerics to Issue Fatwas against it (which poeple Laughed at )  saudi is too obviously siding with America instead of behaving like an Arab brother supporting unity of Lebanese people . lebanese people are now saying it in the open on the various Arabic channels , that Saudi is interefering too much and should back off , that s the reason why they are getting worried .

Whomever carried out the assassination had to have the help of someone on the inside.  Whether it was because of internal Hezbollah/Lebanese/Syrian politics or just plain money is, of course, debatable, but nonetheless an inside job!

I guess that means the U.S. and Isreal’s eyes are set on war with Iran. Wait a second, why are we still after Iran? I thought they did’nt have WMD for us to worry about. Something else is going on here and I hate to say it but the only threat I see is from the psyco’s in the Isreali and Bush administration. World domination must be mighty attractive to these people willing to go through such lenghts to conceal there own snake like characteristics. This is disgusting and pathetic….

Saudi Arabia wairned its nationals not to go to Lebanon, an indication that they’re expecting a retaliation against Sunnis by Hezbollah. A civil war might commence at any moment in Lebanon.

Greg Bacon:
This particular cartoon proves beyond a doubt that Jews are fearless and wantonly explicit in their hatred of our European-American heritage and our people and they are not scared in the least to say it openly because there will NEVER be consequences for them. Of course if this cartoon taught someone how to cook a Jew, careers would end, death threats would commence and fines or imprisonment would follow. Jews are the most hateful people on the face of the earth.

The magazine was not bought at a Zionist meeting or AIPAC meeting, no, far more insidiously it’s sold openly on the shelves of Barnes and Noble.

A pdf of the cartoon has been uploaded here, check it out, be outraged, these Jews have some serious explaining to do as to what makes this “funny.”

More trash passing off as Jewish entertainment can be seen at Heeb Magazines website.

How to contact Barnes and Noble and get this garbage off of store shelves? Contact customer support and share a piece of your mind.

Think CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will cover this story?  Or maybe FOX’s Britt Hume will give it some air time.

Don’t hold your breath for this atrocious cartoon to ever see the light of day in the Zionist owned MSM.  In that Never-Never Land of disinformation and propaganda, news anchors get a pat on the back and pay raises anytime they slander, malign or distort anything Muslim/Arabic.

But woe to the fool who dare question anything about Israel/Zionism, for their reward is to be fired, threatened with violence, possibly even tossed in prison, all for asking honest questions about the descendants of the Khazars.

Here’s a link to the original story in Heeb Magazine

POTASSIUM:

DOESN’T come as a surprise to me coz a certain montreal dweller called Mr Kosher explained certain things to me and since that day i avoid zionists like the disease it is and like the disease they are.

greg bacon, thanx and the advantage of such a forum is that all bring something to here and hence i just get the headlines easy instead of sifting through 90 pages per day

Only Israel benefits from such an act. Since his failure in Lebanon in 2006, Olmert has been looking for something to erase it with. Mughniyeh is a big catch.

The timing of the assassination is suspect. It happened on the third anniversary of the assassination of Rafik Hariri intended to drive a wedge between Sunnis and Shias in Lebanon. The US succeeded in driving that wedge in Iraq. A war between the Sunnis and Shias in Lebanon will drag Syria and Iran into Lebanon to help Hezbollah which means that the Sunnis will ask the US to interefere.
