@ Art Deco > “You mean 120% of the population of southern Lebanon has headed north?”

Well, about 120% of Gazan civilians have been killed by Israel this past year, so that’s in the ball-park.
I just copy-pasted that Reuters quote for the church reference, but your comment is interesting.
What’s your source for the 120%, as the Wikipedia entry for Lebanese population was no help to me in looking for that information.

The gentleman is mostly correct on what happened when Palestinians showed up enmasse, but Phoenicians haven’t existed as a cultural group for a couple thousand years. We need not ask what happened to the Greek cities dating to before Alexander’s time or the Roman ones after. Erasing cultures while complaining about your own culture being erased is rather ironic.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that about 1.2 million Lebanese had been displaced by Israeli attacks.

s/b Destroy nuclear, take credit for saving the world afterwards.

Would not be the first time. Remember when Israel bombed Saddam’s nuclear reactor?

Once c.1983 was waiting to reboot a PDP-11 based remote station while DEC field service removed a moth from the backplane. We both had a good laugh.

@ huxley > “Her team found an actual moth stuck in a mechanical relay of one of the first computers.”

My first post-college job was programming a cost accounting application for a Utah power plant construction job.
We had floppy disks in stand-alone cases plugged into the programmable calculator (not even a computer in 1977).
One day the disk reader went down because there was a cockroach inside the case.
Ah, the good old days!

What will Israel do next? Many people say – and I agree – that it’s time to take out Iran’s nuclear sites.

Yes. The stakes are too damn high, not just for Israel, the world.
