blobak

blobak - unintended consequences of an operation, which frustrate or negate the original purpose. May also refer to the usage of aerosol chemical weapons (poison gas) under suddenly unfavorable wind conditions. Might even be stretched to include retaliation by an opposing entity or its defenders. Actually "blowback" was taken.

Former Refugees now Refugee-MAKERS

The Jewish people, with their legendary, and much admired determination that preserved their singular culture even while dispersed around the world, are today allowing the Israeli leadership to pursue policies of refugee-creation and oppression, with an increasingly arrogant, Roman-like malice toward the exiled Palestinians in Lebanon and Gaza.

This week's news of Israeli attacks on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon (as reported on the respected, Middle-East foreign-policy blog: http://juancole.com on Aug 9th):
.....
' An Israeli strike on the Ain al Hilweh camp in the port city of Sidon early Wednesday killed at least two people and wounded 15, including five children, medics said. . . '

About one third of the deaths in this war have been children under 12 years of age. [One Israeli shell hit the amusement park at Sidon, an obvious hotbed of terrorism.]
.....

Based on other emerging media releases:
It seems that the Israel's savage attack on the whole of Lebanon has started to bother even George W. Bush (much to his credit!). I rarely applaude the President these days, and when it reaches that point, then the (former refugee) Israelis have really gone too far!
