| | Zionists Nuke Downtown Beirut - Again! |
| | Naturally enough, when the Jews finally withdrew, Beirut, the old 'Paris of the East' was a smoking ruin, with barely a brick left standing. | | | In the end, the frustrated Jewish terrorists were circumstantially obliged to nuke the American and French marine barracks in Beirut, which finally got their belated attention. | | | To understand fully why Rafik Hariri and fourteen of his staff and colleagues were suddenly vaporized by a nuclear weapon placed under Beirut's gleaming Corniche, we first need to examine why this small country is so important to Zionist Jews, and how the Lebanon has been undermined and attacked by Zionist terrorists in the past. |
