Cozy Facts Israel Faces Every Day About Hizballah in Lebanon

Nadene Goldfoot
Terrorists that are Lebanon based from Hizballah have 55,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel along Israel's northern border that can reach nearly all of Israel's major population centers.  Lebanon is dominated by the Iranian backed Hizballah.   That's not a comforting thought, but something Israel lives with every day.

1. Katyusha rockets.....12 mile range   212th in Gresham to Ladd's Addition in Portland SE 12th Ave.
2. Long-range katyusha 24 miles Portland to Battle Ground, Washington
3. Fajr-3                       28 miles Portland to Dundee or Hubbard, Oregon
4. Fajr-5/syrian 220mm 45 miles  Portland to Salem
4. Syrian Bk-302            71 miles Portland to Corvallis or to Seaside
5. Zelzal-2                    130 miles  Portland to Bend or Auburn, Washington
6. M-600                     155 miles  Portland to Winatchee-Port Orchard, Washington
7. Scud-B  ?                186 miles (unconfirmed in Hizballah possession, Portland to Roseburg


Do I see any Peace Now Advocates coming to Israel's aid?  Every government in Israel's 64 year history has declared its desire to live in peace with all Arab states.  In 1983, Israel and Lebanon signed a treaty, but Beirut abrogated it later that year under Syrian pressure.


Hizbullah was organized in 1982 as an aftermath of the Lebanon invasion from Israel and Lebanon's civil war between the Christian phalangists and the Muslim terrorists. This was in response to all the shelling taking place along Israel's border.  Kiriat Shimona was in constant lockdown with population taking to bomb shelters.   This is when Sharon allowed Major Hadad's men to go in and fight the Muslim terrorists which turned out to be the Sabra and Shatila massacre. .   They are financed from Iran and Syria.  The Ayatollah Khomeini saw to it they were trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Hadad and his men were Phalangists organized from 1958 through the Maronite Church in Lebanon to introduce democracy and fight against the Muslim in politics.

June 28, 1982 from my book:  We had lost about 300 men, a lot for Israel.  The Lebanese people, including the Muslims, have mostly been overjoyed that Israel has come in and liberated them from the PLO's.  Lebanon is a very divided messed up country, and Major Haddad of the Christians is doing a good job of organizing things back to normal.  as of the 8pm news, the PLO's still don't know what or how they will leave Lebanon.  Almost every family in Israel has someone in the army right now.  Everyone is anxious for this war to be over and wants to bring their men back home.  Many are aginst war for any reason.  It's very hot out now and very uncomfortable to have a war......I think Israel has learned, and I am seeing, that they cannot rely on any person or country's promises of safety.  We have to do it ourselves.

Letters From Israel by Nadene Goldfoot June 15, 1982, June 28, 1982 

Nakba Day Destructive for Israel and Arabs

Nadene Goldfoot
Israel knew that there would be demonstrations on the Arab "Nakba Day",  the Arab day of mourning because Israel had been created.  Arab demonstrations in and around Israel have historically been attended with some violence, so Israel thought they were prepared for anything.  Israel allows demonstrations being they are a democratic society but they do not allow rioting as this causes people to be hurt.  So they had the police and the army out for protection. 

This time the Palestinians also had with them Syrians and Hizballah, the anti-Israel terrorist party of God , making a force of monumental size, more like a Mongol invasion.  Hizballah are followers of the former Shiaa Imam Khomeini of Iran.  Three borders were breached by these invaders with a blood lust.  They crashed through the Golan and Lebanon borders and the Gaza Strip.  Dozens overran the Israeli Golan village of Majd al Shams and put up Syrian and Palestinian flags in the square.

Palestinians are being sponsored by Hizballah and they crashed through the Lebanese-Israeli border and damaged IDF installation.  Hundreds battered the Erez crossing from the Gaza Strip.

Israel had to defend themselves.   Many Israelis were injured.  On the Syrian border thousands were in the act of crossing the border but were finally halted. 

Debka File had reported that Damascus, Syria had planned trouble against Israel to divert people from the rebellion against the Assad regime.  Bashar Assad's cousin Ramy Makhlouf had threatened on the 10th that if Americans and Europeans didn't stop backing the Syrian anti-regime uprising, they would  go to war on Israel or Palestinians to harm Israel.  Israel needed more forces than they had along the Golan border as this turned out to be breached. 

The Lebanese army was on high alert on the Syrian border.  Syrian forces and anti-regime protesters have escalated in Syrian border villages.  At least 8 other places in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem became problematic because of Nakba. 

The leaders are angry now that Israel dared to defend themselves and are threatening  because of it.  I suppose they think they can attack without any loss of life.  Such thinking is so convoluted.  Netanyahu reminded them that Israel would defend its borders.
