Israel Faces Threat of Gaza Conflict Spreading to Northern Frontier With Lebanon
Telegraph.co.uk
Palestinian fighters based in southern Lebanon may be preparing to retaliate for the assault on Gaza by striking across the border and opening a second front against Israel. This would mark a major escalation, possibly provoking an Israeli invasion of Lebanon and a regional war. Hizbollah, which controls most of southern Lebanon, has amassed perhaps as many as 40,000 missiles for use against Israel. But this arsenal, largely supplied by Iran, is probably being held in reserve to retaliate for any future Israeli or American assault on Tehran. The question is whether this would reignite the war between Hizbollah and Israel.

Right Side News
Reading the Jewish World Review today, Christians better wake-up as Hamas is bringing back the “crucifixion” of Christians, Jews and anyone else who does not conform to their ideology.

Anti-Theist: Christianity is Bad for the World
Christian Post
A best-selling atheist author claims that Christianity not only falsely takes credit for good in the world, but actually promotes immorality. In a recent debate against a Christian scholar and pastor, Christopher Hitchens argued against the idea that Christianity is accountable for the spreading of moral principles such as how it is wrong to murder and steal.
The author of God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything also said there was a moral code similar to the “Golden Rule” in place even before Moses received the Ten Commandments. “It appears that these values (murder, theft, perjury are wrong and courage and self-sacrifice are admirable) are universal and innate,” said Hitchens in a video posted on the Christian Broadcasting Network news web site on Friday. “And they also predate – well I wouldn’t say they predate all religion because there has always been some kind of religion – but they certainly predate monotheism and they certainly predate Christianity.”
