  1. ‘If it wasn’t for Hezbollah Israel would be able to be the nice friendly neighbor it’s always wanted to be to Lebanon.’

    Well, she’s friendly in the way I can feel friendly towards steak.

  2. [comment deleted: you’re rehashing old posts and points. And the points you’re trying to raise are picayune and not worth responding to. Try to offer something substantive and meaty for me to respond to.]

  3. Daniel-Dylan Böhmer has been spoon-fed some bs information. Never read such a dumb series of statements … fits the German right-wing Islamophobia to cause harm to chancellor Merkel for her acceptance of Syrian refugees in 2015. Where are the days of 9/11 Al Qaeda operatives living in Hamburg under the nose of the BND?

    “If so, what is the point? Why leak this claim and why publish it?”

    Obviously, Israel is leaking the story because Hezbollah denies owning the AN.
    Leaking the story, which appears credible, puts Iran and her proxy, Hezbollah, in a bad light.

    Assuming, arguendo, that Israel had absolutely nothing to do with the Beirut port explosion, Israel would still leak the story, because leaking the truth serves to harm her two mortal enemies.

    @Jeal R

    It bears repeating that Richard’s ‘source’ does not have first hand knowledge that Israel bombed Beirut. Richard’s ‘source’ claims to have heard from his/her ‘source’, that Israel bombed Beirut.

      No it doesn’t. Hezbollah is using every weapon it needs to defend Lebanon from Israeli attack. Israel gets lethal weapons from the U.S. which kill far more people than ammonium nitrate. I don’t hear you complaining about that. That’s because you’re a hypocrite.

      A cardinal comment rule: do not ever characterize my views or those of my source. Do not claim what he knows or doesn’t know. Do not claim his information is first, second or third hand. You don’t know what you’re talking about. And you will inevitably be wrong. Saying a source has to have “first hand knowledge” of the information he’s providing is ludicrous. What sort of first hand knowledge would he need? Being a Mossad agent? Being Yossi COhen? Watching video of the explosion inside the Hezbollah warehouse? My source has offered scores, if not hundreds of accurate reports on stories which were under military censorship or judicial gag order. That’s credibility. As for you, you have none.

      First-hand knowledge is a red herring argument. You are done in this thread.

  5. Ammonium nitrate is used everywhere, also especially in Israel.

    Israel ammonium nitrate agricultural use was at level of 69,336 tonnes in 2005, up from 68,684 tonnes previous year, this is a change of 0.95%.

    What if “Israelis” arranged this 2700 ton ammonium nitrate to Beirut using their wellkown Ukrainian and Russian “businessmen” contacts? It would have been only a fragment of Israeli consumption. Israelis knew certainly the dangers of ammonium nitrate as a major producer of this widely used chemical and are experts with it.

    Why speculate about Iran and Hizbollah with this common and widely used chemical? The Beirut ammonium nitrate could have been used in Lebanon as a fertiliser or by other Lebanese industries during these several years. Makes no sense to have a storage space full of this common and dangerous chemical for years. The harbour administration could certainly have made money by selling this chemical and then earned with the storage space in normal use during this 6 years. Makes no sense of keeping it in a busy harbour without somebody paying the storage fees.

    Here is a link to Haifa Group’s page of ammonium nitrate (KNO3) for industrial usage and how to fertilise olive trees.

  6. Israel needs her enemies unfortunately and so does Hezbollah.

    It’s always good to have some multi-purpose ammonium nitrate on hand. Stored next to missiles and/or fireworks?

    The Lebanese government was catastrophically negligent.
