I have no desire to boss a moron around like your self.

Why don't you tell us some more lies about your supposed life during Nazi Germany?

I think the Israelis are reasonably well-trained, and they use a high proportion of snipers. as well, they use rifles that you can actually hit something with, the ubiquitous AK 47 being a serious "spray and pray" weapon IMHO..........

Let's give this one to the Israelis......

Did you know that the sex doctor, that old sawed off little lady, was a fully qualified Israeli sniper? What was her name?......famous.......damn......

I saw an interview with her, when she was in Isreal, she did her training.....the first day on the range the RO pulled her aside and asked where she learned to shoot. It was the first time she had ever fired a rifle...........off to sniper school with her........

Surprized?

Dr. Ruth whatever....

Did they have dual citizenship? Were they travelling with Canadian Passports or Israeli Passports?---just wodering
They got their answer in 30 seconds. AND I'm so glad that non of them had to be evacuated by ambulance because they suffered from shock.
"She said there was another tour group nearby that included children as young as 2 years old." Was Israel hoping???

Israeli air strike kills 7 Canadians in Lebanon
Sunday, July 16, 2006

Seven Canadians — including four children — were killed in an Israeli air raid that hit a Lebanese town on the border with Israel on Sunday. Three Canadians were seriously injured.

Israel has acknowledged carrying out the attack and has apologized to Ottawa, CBC's Nahlah Ayed reported from Beirut.

Most of the dead were members of one extended Montreal family, on vacation in the village of Aitaroun at the time of the Israeli attack. Among those killed was Ali El-Akhras who came to Montreal from Lebanon 15 years ago. His wife, Saada El-Akhras, was among the injured.

The nephew of Ali El-Akhras, also named Ali, had accompanied his uncle and aunt on their annual summer vacation. His wife, Amira, and their four children, ages one, four, six and eight, were killed in the attack.

Reports from Lebanon say the victims were crushed in a collapsed house.

Hassan El-Akhras, the son of Ali El-Akhras, was not with his parents on the trip to Lebanon. He heard about his father's death while he was demonstrating against Israel's attacks on Lebanon in Montreal. Family and friends gathered at the El-Akhras apartment to comfort each other and await further news from Lebanon.

"It's not just us," Hassan El-Akhras told CBC news, "There are a lot of civilians who have been killed. The streets are closed. I am asking the international community to help and put pressure on Israel to stop the bombing."

Ottawa sends vessels to help evacuation

Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay said in Ottawa that plans were being drawn up for a co-ordinated rescue effort by land sea and air for Canadians who want to leave Lebanon.

Ottawa was working with other countries who were trying to get their citizens out of harm's way. Commercial ships were to be hired and sent to the eastern Mediterranean, MacKay said.

"We are securing these vessels. They will be in the region as soon as humanly possible," he told CBC Newsworld.

The Foreign Affairs Department says 16,000 Canadians have registered with the government to say they're in Lebanon, while estimating that there are likely two to three times that many in the country.


On Sunday, for the first time since fighting began, Israeli warplanes unleashed bombs on central Beirut, as well as pounding its suburbs and striking a major power station nearby.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah — which spurred the outbreak of violence with a cross-border raid on the Israeli military — carried out a deadly rocket attack on the northern Israeli port of Haifa.

About 150 Lebanese, most of them civilians, have died since the violence erupted on Wednesday. At least 24 Israelis, including 12 civilians, have died from Hezbollah rockets.

Canadians come under fire near Gaza Strip
April 4, 2008

A delegation of Canadians with an Israeli cabinet minister came under fire near the Gaza Strip Friday morning, escaping injury in an attack that left one Israeli wounded.

A group of around 15 people with the Canada-Israeli Committee was visiting the town of Sderot in the company of Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter when they were shot at. Dichter's chief of staff Matti Gil was wounded in the attack.

A spokeswoman from a local hospital said Gil was shot in the groin and was in stable condition.

Moshe Ronen, chairman of the committee, said they had just finished a briefing with Dichter when the shooting began.

"There was a volley of shots, about half a minute or so," Ronen told CBC News. "We were instructed to lie on the ground and we stayed there for about 15 minutes, then evacuated to a military outpost."

"We're all shaken but we're OK."

Dichter told Army Radio he didn't think the shots were aimed specifically at him, but at the visiting groups.

He said Israeli troops returned fire. Army Radio reported that tanks and bulldozers entered Gaza after the shooting.

Several militant groups claimed responsibility for the attack, the Associated Press reported, including the military wing of Gaza's ruling Hamas movement, a militant offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party, and two little-known radical Islamic groups inspired by al-Qaeda, the Army of the Nation and Protectors of the Homeland.

'Came to express solidarity'
Ronen said the group was in Sderot to show solidarity with the southern city, which is a frequent target of rocket attacks from militants in the Gaza Strip.

"It's a pretty scary feeling. You realize after a few seconds that somebody actually tried to kill you," he said.

"We came to express solidarity, we certainly expressed solidarity, but we also got a taste of what the civilians here go through day in and day out, with the constant attacks by terrorist groups who are operating from Gaza.

"It's a pretty eye-opening and pretty scary experience."

Ronen said the trip will continue.

One story minimizes and distracts. The other evokes base emotions. Can anyone edit the first story to make it sound like the second or edit the second to make it sound like the first????
