Israel bombs Beirut Airport

[Mateo]

Using your logic, the NYPD should level the Bronx for harboring criminal gangs.

Only the Philly PD bombs their own city!

Israel didn't bomb the airport in Beirut for the sole reason that it may have been used for Lebanese troop movement or the like. Israel wants to cut Lebanon off from everyone else. That's why they are "blockading" the country with ships and destroying bridges leading to Syria. They want to starve the Lebanese government of all trade, all tourism, all "physical" contact with foreigners, so that eventually the Lebanese will back down....

pretty stupid to bomb the airport then ha? just results in the foreigners being forced to stay. I know that nearly 30000 Australians have no way of getting out...well thought out attack from Tel Aviv.

from what i heard the MEA planes took off from a taxiway, if Israel did take out one of the MEA fleet there'd be hell to pay, those a/c are owned by ILFC and registered in France. :roll:
