Lox, this thread is not about me, nor who agrees with me or disagrees with me. I have way earlier in this thread written of Israel bashing and anti-Semitism (not that I used that term earlier today--you did). I stand by what I wrote then, and need not repeat it. I don't accuse any particular member at Mudcat, but used 'Israel-hater' hoping some here might become a little bit more self-aware. 'Nuff said.

Now to your response to the link:
1-The Israelis let Unifil know they were going to trim the tree. Which trimming they had done times before.
2-Unifil told the Lebanese the Israelis were going to practice this horticultual activity.
3-The maps, which you ignored in your post, show that the Israelis were operating from Israeli territory.
4-The first shots came from the Lebanese--this is even acknowledged by a couple of posters, here, who, shall we say, are not exactly friends of Israel.

Unless I read or see anything that is substantially different, this will be my last post on the episode.
