(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has advised its citizens in Lebanon, especially families living there, to leave immediately due to the security situation, a Lebanese government source said on Saturday.

The source said the Lebanese government had confirmed the news with the Saudi embassy after several Saudi nationals said they received a text message with the advice.

lebanon being north of israel, it's sort of sketchy. the first theory my neocon friend and i proposed was some sort of attack in israel (since lebanon is known as a major harbor of terrorists), which would of course provoke an israeli incursion into lebanon on the manhunt for the "turr'ists"

given that lebanon is a harbor of terrorists, on israel's north border, and throw in the whole golan heights thing... i dunno. i hope something AWESOME goes down

They actually advice them to leave because of internal conflicts between the different factions inside Lebanon. Nothing to do with Israel for now...

"NOTE: This is NOT an Arab Israeli Conflict Diary. This is about the possibility of a full-blown WAR."

I wouldnt even go so far as to call them terrorists, the ones in lebinan.


much of lebaneese population support these people, because theyre the only thing protecting their families from being slaughtered.

And if i was faced with superior technological warfare from my enemy, i wouldnt think twice about blowing myself up for my family.

its much more complicated than that... the western world refers to them as terrorist, but theyre merely defenseless. They are revolutionaries in some peoples eyes... Hero's, because theyve stood up to bombardments of an unbeatable force for decades.

you referring to hezbollah?

this shit has been going on for ages... its fuked

You know what sad about it? although its the most spoken conflict on the world, and usually they say how we kill and attack those poor Palestinians or other nations near us (doing massacre and holocaust every 2 weeks) , the whole Arab-Israeli conflict (and I mean all the wars they declared on us from all the Arab nations since 1948) is one of the smallest in the world.

Its 3 pages article with facts, supported by movies that you can easily find in Youtube and you will figure out that this is one of the biggest hoax that this world ever had.
When lies and anti-Semite riding the wave of one of the biggest religions in the world, thats how things goes I guess. :-(
Then come idiots like trancetunes and buy it all.

And there's your problem. Anyone who legitimately tries to question the actions of the Israeli State at best gets pegged an anti-smite. Anyone who doesn't sympathize with the Palestinians gets pegged anti-Arab and Anti-Muslim.

Could be true but not.If you will see how their media is working and how their leaders talk, it will remind you 1939, Europe, Germany. If a country like, lets say, Denmark will try to do the same, Europe will burn.

He is threatening us with a second world war I think?

I think the world should stop being so anti-Germanic. They were blamed for the first world war, they got totally screwed over and disgraced and people still don't understand why they acted like they did. And that's 60 years ago, now Germany is one of the most peaceful countries in the world!

No Zerzera, I'm saying that this Arab-Israeli conflict is getting out of proportion because of lies and false information.

There are much bigger conflicts with more important consequences than the Palestinians issue, but you won't hear about them like you hear about our conflict. Its not our conflict that will lead to WW3.

I also said that the Arabs who hate us are also hating the fact that we are Jewish, and they use it on Arabs newspapers (caricatures, articles and speeches by religious leaders). You can find similar caricatures like it was from 1939.

If you will post on your newspaper a caricature that disgrace something about Islam, they will burn your street and riot all your country. I didn't see Christians or Jewish riot by such things.

I think you missed the point of that. It's an example of what bigotry and intolerance looks like, not an example of "them Muslims are angry and hurtz people".

Oh sorry you are right, Its not that the Muslims were angry and hurt people because of bigotry and intolerance In Denmark and all over the world. Its not that in Holland, if anyone try to say anything about Islam he get killed (Vincent van Gogh) or threated to kill (Geert Wilders)

Why I didn't hear Jews or Christians threat to kill (or kill) people who disgrace their religion, I wonder...

I'm not saying Muslims are bad people. Probably most of them want peace as any others. The problem comes with the extremes (that there are many of them in the Islamic world) who believe in the Sharia and Jihad, and sadly, you don't understand the threat that it cause to your liberal ideology.

I always thought Starry Night sucked. One-eared bastard got what was coming.

[FarScape]

yeah sorry, I meant Theo van Gogh.
