ISRAELI BLOCKADE

Israel Seals Off Lebanon amid Bombing Raids

After the kidnapping of two of its soldiers, Israel is cutting Lebanon off from the outside world with an air, land and sea blockade, Israeli army radio announced Thursday. Bombing raids continue after both Beirut airport and a suburb of the Lebanese capital were targeted causing at least 27 civilian casualties.



Conflict in the Middle East intensified Thursday as Israel announced it would completely blockade Lebanon and continue bombing raids until two kidnapped Israeli soldiers are released. At least 27 civilians died in a night of bombing, with scores more injured as Israel flew more than 40 bombing raids over Lebanon.

"Israel imposes a full blockade on earth, sea and air of Lebanon till further notice, within the operations held in view of finding the two soldiers, kidnapped yesterday," Israeli army radio reported Thursday. The Israeli Navy has entered Lebanese waters while flights have been halted into and out of Beirut's only international airport. It is the biggest show of Israeli force in Lebanon since the 1982 invasion



My Poem

A moment of clarification

President Bush

In anticipation

With a burst of inspiration

Gave out a communication

And an explanation

He said at a G8 presentation

With extreme dramatization



A moment of clarification

Regarding the Hezbollah situation

To the Israeli bombing

With some trepidation

And low key congratulation

For unmasking

Iran and Syrians collaboration

He told the Israelis

Show some restrain

And some reservation

In this aerial operation

or along with the Hezbollah

you will bomb out the entire

innocent Beirut population

that would be

racial discrimination

so the need of the hour

some solemn meditation

at the release of the two Israeli soldiers

don’t show extreme desperation

with my motivation

my interpretation

my pressurization

they will be set free

without any victimization

or obligation

manifestation

transformation

to their homeland

immediate

repatriation



Weapons of mass destruction
An American president’s megalomaniac creation
