The media is reporting that (zionist) sources say that the Palestinian gunman who shot and killed 8 Israelis in Jerusalem took his marching orders from Hezbollah, the southern Lebanese Shi'ite resistance movement. Apparently, this is Hezbollah's revenge for Mughniyeh's assassination - the opinion of the Israeli government. We've seen these accusations before - the bombing of Jewish synagogues in Argentina in response to Israelis killing Abbas Al-Musawi (former leader of Hezbollah), his wife, son, and four others. They all have one thing in common, they are all used to reaffirm Hezbollah's label as a "terrorist" organization. Because when you can label organizations as "terrorists" or "militants", there are lots of perks - including the use of pre-emptive war and labeling atrocities and murder as "self-defense". Interestingly, there is never any proof to the claims that Hezbollah operates on an International level.
The gunman was not affiliated to any group in Palestine and Hamas (or any other group for that matter) have denied responsibility. Conveniently, an American was "severely" wounded along with the 8 dead Israelis.
People, I think Israel and America have found their next pretenses for the next war in Lebanon. This one will be a regional war, including Israel and America. And this time, I'm afraid Lebanon will be used to wipe the floor of the remaining "terrorist" organizations in the middleast. Just another chapter of the war on terror.

Media portrayal of latest Palestinian conflicts
Oh how amusing it is to wake up today and check the usual news sites to see their infatuation with the 8 Israelis who were shot dead today by a Palestinian gunman. You would think that they would have also talked about the 200 innocent Palestinians that have been murdered in the past week or so, but no. Palestinians aren't people, so we don't write about them.
One of the most disgusting aspects of this whole affair is how the Israeli propagandists have claimed that most of the dead are "militants". This is probably untrue. And ignoring the distinction between combatant and non-combatant is the first step in the process of genocide - where they successfully depict the entire population itself as a threat. And so what if it is true? Hamas is a popularly elected mass movement and is the legitimate governing party of Palestine. It is a movement of resistance that stands against occupation and Zionism. Killing Hamas members and calling them "terrorists" or "militants" is not better than killing civilians, especially since these attacks are largely unprovoked. (Sderot? Give me a break). The people of Gaza have been placed in a cage and are now the subject of planned extermination. The streets of every major city in the world should be raging in protest.
