Trimming Archduke Ferdinand's Hedges: Will Landscaping Be The Cause For Another Israel War?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier today, the Middle East again came once step closer to war after the latest Israel-Lebanon clash claimed the most lives since the Second Lebanon War. As part of the escalation, 3 Lebanese soldiers and 1 journalist were killed, as well as an Israeli officer, over what appears to have been a day of gardening gone horribly wrong: Haaretz reports: "The violence apparently erupted over a move by Israeli soldiers to trim
some hedges along the border, a sign of the level of tensions at the
frontier where Israel fought a war in 2006 with the Lebanese militant
group Hezbollah." Surely this latest escalation explains the most recent surge in stocks, as Ben Bernanke will now have an excuse to take his money paradrop operation over to the Middle East, in hopes of keeping everyone occupied through endless amazon.com purchases of assorted useless gizmos.

More from Haaretz:

Lebanese and Israeli troops exchanged fire on the border Tuesday in the most serious clashes since a fierce war four years ago, and Lebanon said at least three of its soldiers and a journalist were killed in shelling.

The violence apparently erupted over a move by Israeli soldiers to trim some hedges along the border, a sign of the level of tensions at the frontier where Israel fought a war in 2006 with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Israel Defense Forces GOC Northern Command Maj. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot announced Tuesday that two Israeli officers had been very seriously hit during the exchange of fire. Eizenkot said that the incident had been a "deliberate ambush."

Eizenkot told Israeli media that "a routine operation was carried out during the afternoon near Misgav Am – an operation whose purpose was to trim some bushes near the border, in our [Israeli] territory. It was on both sides of the border but still within [Israeli] territory. Officers oversaw the operation from a permanent position. Sniper fire was directed at the officers, and two of them were wounded as a result."

The GOC Northern Command stressed that "this was a pre-planned event, aggression by the Lebanese army who shot at soldiers inside Israeli territory without any provocation. We view this as a very severe incident."

In other news, nothing like keeping the world on edge, and all eyes glued to the TV, as the terminal wealth transfer program in the US continues uninhibited and without intervention.

How powerful is the Israeli American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) in Israel? Does America control Israel's foreign policy? Do WASP's own all of Israel's media?

Ah, so it was America who told the Israelis to attack the USS Liberty and it was the Americans who told Pollard to spy on the Americans for Israel. Now it's all coming into focus..

Info/Disinfo is an old game Citizen. To fall for the ploy of polarized belief in either extreme camp, as the tone of your posts suggest you do, is just being a sheep.

With an event of such dubious and fantastic history (Lightening bolt struck a messenger?), neither side has any authoritative claim.

They make a stunning read and have mirrored history to an absolute "T". 

Did someone set them up? Are they a false flag? Could be.

You seem to believe 9-11 was an outside job!!!

No, I'm just pulling your leg. Can't judge a book by....etc.

Now it's your turn.  Did God really tell the Jews to kill all the people living in the "Holy Land" and take their stuff?

 

Just curious.

>> It was on both sides of the border but still within [Israeli] territory.

 

I hope that's just a translation error. My doublethink isn't good enough to swallow it otherwise.

Trees and shrubs grow on both sides of any border.  This truth has caused civil unrest for centuries.  That is why there are laws about what a property owner can do with the part of the bush/tree that grows on his side of the fence.

We had an older fellow here who got a lesbian couple next door with whom he could not get along. They were - pushy. One day he came home and they were cutting HIS bushes in his yard because they did not like them obstructing their view. He told them to stop and they ridiculed him for being old. He went inside and got his rifle and shoot them both dead.

All their relatives could talk about was how the old man could not put up with "strong" women. Bullshit. He'd have shot any man treating him like that too. Most men would have known better than to cross the line and treat him with contempt no matter now much personal wealth or position they had. Some people can only see certain issues and have no idea what motivates others. This old man grew up when a certain respect was demanded from others no matter how 'strong' they were.

I wonder what the real motives were on each side of that tree or bush?

Israel would never have the attitude it has without the US support. If the only true judge in the region would be, in an ideal situation, the UN, then it could never pull this sort of behaviour. They know that, so they'll push the cord as far as it can go and get away with it.

It's a Jewish country in the middle of an ocean of Islamism. There will never be peace there, under any conditions. They now control the territory which is part of the Muslims' sacred lands. It's either Muslims give them up or give up their faith (not gonna happen this millennium) or Israelis back down (not gonna happen either).

Can you please enlighten me as to what exactly are those "sacred lands" that you are speaking about? Those are in Saudi Arabia, not Israel. Unless you subscribe to the theory that once a muslim conquers a land, it becomes "sacred".

The prophet Muhammed is believed to have ascended to heaven on the site of the Dome of the Rock.  It is the third holiest site in Islam.

Surely you know this.

Surely you jest. The statement that says that in the Koran is so completely vague that you would need to ask the writer what he meant by that. Funny how Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the Koran, no? Wake up.

I'm have no doubt that a nice little Jewish Supremecist like yourself sees it that way.

However, 1,000,000,000 Muslims interpret their own history and scripture a little differently.  I'm inclined to believe them.

Good for you! Go ahead and believe everything you are told! Don't bother looking things up for yourself and certainly don't bother comparing what they say with what they do.
