There are those that discount entirely deceptive warfare as wild conspiricies. Given something like the following, I would ask why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/northwoods.html

Found this today http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0608/06/rs.01.html KURTZ: All right, Matthew Chance, stand by, thank you for that report. We will come back to you. And joining us now here Washington Anne Compton who covers the White House for ABC News, and Thomas Ricks, Pentagon reporter for "The Washington Post" and author of the new book "Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq." Tom Ricks, you've covered a number of military conflicts, including Iraq, as I just mentioned. Is civilian casualties increasingly going to be a major media issue? In conflicts where you don't have two standing armies shooting at each other? THOMAS RICKS, REPORTER, "THE WASHINGTON POST": I think it will be. But I think civilian casualties are also part of the battlefield play for both sides here. One of the things that is going on, according to some U.S. military analysts, is that Israel purposely has left pockets of Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon, because as long as they're being rocketed, they can continue to have a sort of moral equivalency in their operations in Lebanon. KURTZ: Hold on, you're suggesting that Israel has deliberately allowed Hezbollah to retain some of it's fire power, essentially for PR purposes, because having Israeli civilians killed helps them in the public relations war here? RICKS: Yes, that's what military analysts have told me.Driver said:Operation Northwoods came the year after the failed CIA-sponsered Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. JFK rejected Operation Northwoods, and after the Bay of Pigs, JFK vowed to tear the CIA apart into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds. All of this could be connected to the JFK assassination mystery.
I note that Kurtz, the every vigilant journalist fails in his obvious responsibility to require Ricks to cite his sources. Sorry, but the obscure 'military analysts' is not a valid source. Ricks could talk to a raving maniac who considers himself an analyst and have a valid cover for his statement. That, by the way, is pretty much how he wrote his joke of a book cited by Kurtz in his introduction. Real military analysts, such as those at the Pentagon and those who have retired from active military duty, have exposed Ricks' 'analysis' of the Iraq War as a huge pile of male bovine excrement, largely made up and lifted out of context. Ricks is a left wingnut liberal hack, his career married to the liberal viewpoint and fearful of saying anything that doesn't please them.gwynedd1 said:KURTZ: Hold on, you're suggesting that Israel has deliberately allowed Hezbollah to retain some of it's fire power, essentially for PR purposes, because having Israeli civilians killed helps them in the public relations war here?

... you're welcome to them.

applepowerpc said:In fact:
"Over half the civilian casualties of the rockets fired by Hezballah have been Palestinian Muslims and Christian in the Galilee and Haifa. The Hezbullah "rockets" are inaccurate and have resulted in limited civilian casualties (hezbollah started shelling these locations only after Israel used precision guided bombs to target Lebanese civilians). By contrast, over 50 Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting with Hezballah fighters (the number of Hezbollah fighters killed is unknown perhaps as low as 35 and as high as 250). Hezballah is a few thousand guirillas, Israel has mandatory service (up to three years and then lifetime service) thus meaning that nearly 2.8 million are available for service (CIA fact sheet). But Israel's racism shows no bounds: There are no public shelters in any of the Arab communities in the Galilee (these are all Israeli citizens) and thus of the civilians killed in Northern Israel, over half are Palestinian citizens in the north. Palestinian citizens even complain about absence of sirens (plentiful in the Jewish areas). The articles below are selected from the past few days of items not covered in mainstream US media (for obvious reasons-- that if the US public would be allowed to hear and see things as they are, they would be up in arms)."

By not going to war or if it be God's will witness against it as we Christians are commanded to we. We are salt. I can find sources in India and China that mirror, the Scotsman, even ABC but the headline read "Hezbollah rockets" even as the UN quoted the same IDF artillery. The USS Liberty is one that was implimented but failed because the IDF could not sink it. http://www.ussliberty.org/ These wars we keep frivolously entering into, cheered on by Christians in direct oppostion to Christ's teaching, are largely frauds. It is done to drive nations into perpetual debt and it has worked. There is simply no understanding of what I say unless you look into the 19th century. I used to agree with your position, however my predilection for Ancient and Mideval history in the past had me missing this badly until recently. The 19th century is as much a history about banking as any other issue http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/jackson/6-2.html Matt 5 9: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Now will you sobery reason this out?romanov said:Ok, operation Northwoods is a piece of paper. It was never implemented. Why, I don't know. I'll be the first to admit that I don't trust my government as far as I can throw it. Makes me wonder how many Operation Northwoods there are out there. Also I have to admit that I am dubious as to it's validity.
I'm also dubious as to the validity of all this conspiracy theory hooplah that you, poke and company come up with. You come up with all these wild acusations about Zionism, the Rothchilds, flags and Israeli racism. You quote sources that by and large are propaganda rags. I mean, The Guardian and The Scotsman; I mean really. You tout them as trumpeters of the truth solely because they agree with you. Instead of ragging on Israel for being supposedly racist, when there is no real proof, why don't you go off on Hezbollah, Hamas and the PLO for their actual stated racism against Jews and Christians.
Now I'll honestly state this whole mess was created by other folks sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. That is a point of fact that can't be denied. All of I'll heard from you guys is wild eyed rants. What would you do to fix the problem? We got into this mess by trying to "fix" and ancient wrong. Now how would you fix this modern wrong?

Flat out, I've read both sides of that issue. I honestly don't know who to believe. Like I said, I don't trust my government as far as I can throw it. Let me ammend that. I don't trust any government as far as I can throw it.

There are Muslim influenced newspapers in India. India is having their own problems with Muslims right now.
China, I wouldn't call a friend of Israel either. China wants to be a super power. They want to knock us down a peg or two so they are going to support whoever is against us. The enemy of your enemy is your friend kind of thing.
The UN. Real friend and ally of Israel. See the above paragraph about China. The UN wants to be a super power too.

But let's say for the sake of argument, the Israeli government ordered the Liberty sank. Why would they do that? Maybe its because Israel felt that the US government was sticking it's nose where it didn't belong. I believe that in 1948 the UN, the US, the Brits, everybody should have kept their nose out of other peoples business. Period. End of subject because the constant cease fires and DMZ's and treaties and you name it has only drug this mess out and more people have died over the last 60 years than would have died if Israel had been allowed to do their thing.
The 1967 borders would be a start. I know that is not what they want. I linger in the forums and many paste in Ezekiel prophesies about the distruction of Damascus and Tyre. This is not in a Christian context natuallyBack to the Christian thing then. Paraphrasing, "No man shows greater love than when he dies for a friend."
Back to the government thing. The US has no business sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. In the case of Israel, Jews lived in that area for God knows how long. Jews were living there before 1881. Jews were living there after 1881. Palestine was the name given by the Romans to Israel. Palestinians was the name given by the Romans to the people who lived in Israel. In other words, Jews.
One can argue back and forth whether or not the Jews and the "Palestinians" had a right to their own country. Both parties were given their own country, right or wrong. The "Palestinians" wanted it all and they chose throw their lot in with an Egyptian.
Rothschilds right? Got it. Anyway...*sigh*
I have. My question to you again is what is your solution to the problem? How many people are you willing to let die?

What does the tiny little text say?
"A U.N. officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said an artillery shell fired by Israel made "a direct hit on the U.N. position overlooking Zarit." The post is part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon."
This is not the media in the US

Who has objective media here?
We may question many things however this has proved beyond any doubt that US media is corrupted by bias. They cannot be trusted. I do not need to guess here.
If you look at anything in Isolation it will be more difficult to see the obvious, however the Levon Affair shows the pattern of a false flag. I view it as a pretext to attack Eygypt. Any other explanation is weak. There was no justification that is certain and Israel has only covered it up.

We should have let the people on the Lusitania die and jailed Woodrow Wilson and JP Morgan for a start. They would have saved more than a 100 million lives.
If you really want to assult my argument, and many others, then you would do well to address the Rothschilds. That is how I went from a staunch Zionist, raised from my father who tuned into The 700 club, "Today in Bible Prophecy with Charles Taylor, Hal Linsey etc. etc .
I believe that the Rothschilds dynasty controls half the worlds wealth in the range of 300-400 trillion dollars. You will not find this in the news because they own the news. That is why history pre-1930s though it may bore some people is the only way to grasp what has happened. We know what happened in Russia. We know what would have happended if the Nazis won. I think the money behind these groups has never left us.
