With crime on the rise many people and business are looking for added security. Video surveillance is one the top ways to improve the security of your belongings and loved ones. I get asked alot about what is good or recommended and although each situation is different there are some common things to consider when showing a video surveillance system that will bring the required results.

nasrallah press conference summary

Everyone was wondering what the heck they were doing. It was a crisis of leadership, period. Don’t blame the media. The media wasn’t any different to how it was before the war.

Is that so? Turkey? Dubai? Tunisia? Bosnia? Kosovo?

Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees about past actions by Israel in Lebanon, the threat posed by Iran is not insignificant. Syria acts as a conduit for weapons, hosts the head of Hamas and supports Hezbollah - and has a history of destabilizing Lebanon as well.

Personally I am definitely in the peacenik camp but the verbiage coming from Iran, backed up by the arming of militias in Lebanon and on Israel’s doorstep, is not reassuring. The references to Israel as a bacteria, or as an entity which must be destroyed, are not only offensive, they are alarming - and not just to “Right Wing Jews”.

Given the very small size of Israel and the potential for harm from chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, or even the chaos that can be created by “crude” rockets and missiles, and given Jewish history, perhaps you will forgive people for being nervous.

Meanwhile, as a left wing Jew it upsets me to see Jews of any political stripe stereotyped as warmongers who simply want to attack Muslims, any Muslims, or who take joy in war. That’s an incredibly unfair assessment. Most Jews living today have lost people, or even entire family trees to violence in the recent or not-so-distant past - within a generation or two; I’d bet that all of us are scarred, if only in our hearts. This is obviously true of Israelis, many of whom have been through several wars and acts of terror, quite a few of whom are Holocaust survivors; others were persecuted in the Arab world and had to flee. But what about those who suffered under the Soviets, and people who increasingly are becoming concerned even in the West?

Many, with reason, fear another holocaust is far from impossible. Antisemitic diatribes are increasingly common - especially on the ‘net - even on respectable MSM blogs. Attacks on Jews are increasing around the world. The UN demonizes Israel. Young people in Israel believe their state survives in existential peril. How many nations feel compelled to argue their “right to exist”, are forced to justify their presence among the families of man?

That is a far different perspective, and point of view, than that proposed by you, sir.

Whatever the justice of Israel’s position toward the Palestinians (and despite numerous exceptions they have been more or less less justified and proportional), her actions toward Lebanon have been deplorable — back in the 1980s as well as recently — whatever justification that might have existed completely swept away by disproportionate and indiscriminate destruction.

And when I hear the Right Wing Jews just keep howling for more war — war against Syria, war against Iran, any Muslims will do — I understand more and more the rational basis of the sympathy and support so many reasonable Arabs have direct towards Hezbollah. I don’t like Hezbollah, but I understand why they are admired

Whatever their faults, Syria and Iran fall far short of Iraq and Afghanistan as valid objects of military action. They support insurgencies and paramilitaries — Western countries have regularly done the same since WW2; they involve themselves in the political intrigues of their neighbours — neighbours they have close connections with going back millennia; they seek to strengthen themselves politically and militarily. These are not reasonable justifications for war. Take a deep breath. Syria and Iran do not represent an immediate threat, and in fact are not even particularly dangerous or hostile to the West.

But to Right Wing Jews even insulting or bellicose remarks, for example by the Iranian president, are a justification for war.

That’s what I would do.

Sure.

Israel’s last punitive counterstrike against Hizb’allah was handled poorly at the political level, but the IDF trounced the terrorists.

Sure, the media was acting as PR agents for Hezbollah. What else is new? Sure, the Euros were carrying on like weenies, they always do that. What failed to happen was Israel failed to go fully on the offensive against Hezbollah. Afterwards there was a big stink, a few people were fired, and we kept hearing about a new Prime Minister in Israel. Even that hasn’t happened. I don’t claim to understand Israeli politics but it seems to me that they’ve got Jimmy Carter in charge trying to give away the store.

And you want to blame America? Give me a break.

now it’s just another victim of militant Islam. That is the single most destructive and vile force I have ever known. I”m not old enough to have seen Nazi Germany but I can’t help thinking that, apart from the organization, it couldn’t have been any worse than these people.

A possible explanation is that the UN is ready to begin the Hariri Tribunal - perhaps as early as next month. If so, Nasrallah may be eager to keep the Tribunal from discovering some inconvenient truths about Hezb’allah’s role in Lebanese political violence and that of his patron Syria.

Hezbollah, Hamas, AQ…primitives who are busy dragging the societies in which they live back to the stone age.
