All I was doing was responding to your incorrect assertion that Israel did not intend to release the Lebanese prisoners. I never said that the arrest of the Shiites was justified. Your outburst totally ignores my point. Don't let your hatred of Israel blind you to facts. I personally heard Nabih Berri say on T. V. that Israel was going to release the prisoners anyway. Of course, he too is probably in the pay of those nasty Zionists-). By the way, you are correct in your response to Ephraim Silverberg that he cannot tell Lebanese Shiites from Palestinians. His posting reeked of ignorance. Yours reeks of hatred. -- Bill Tanenbaum - AT&T Bell Labs - Naperville IL ihnp4!ihlpg!tan
