Re: Israel & Lebanon

^^^ What a crock ^^^

1) The anger has already been boiling over from the onset.

2) The Israelies are striking what they believe to be credible targets related to Hamas and Hezbollah. The Lebanese people are fed up with Hezbollah, and from what I've been reading, support the Israelis' bombing campaign to rid their country of extremism.

3)Why are you ignoring the acts committed by Hezbollah, such as sending missles straight into Israeli territory in order to cause as many innocent deaths as possible?

Re: Israel & Lebanon

this is not Isreal vs. Lebanon, but rather Isreal vs. Hezbollah. I feel bad for the people who just want to live and not be involved. The PM for Lebanon is too scared to talk bad about Hezbollah in fear for his own life. This battle is scary since one move on Syria may start a bad thing for the world. I hope it ends soon

That has gotta be the longest sentence ever written on MS

I hate it when people make a crisis like this sound like a boxing match.

Credible targets??? You've got to be kidding me, right?

An international airport, fuel tanks, power stations, gas stations, tv stations, factories, Lebanese ports blocked by israeli warships preventing cruise ships from docking in Beirut and cutting off the delivery of fuel used to operate Lebanese power plants, blowing up bridges, main highways which restrict people moving or trying to flee the bombings (sound familiar?) and lets not forget the deliberate murder of over 130 civilians including many children and hundreds more wounded. 2 vans which had been trying to escape the bombings was hit directly by an israeli gunboat resulting in the incineration of all the occupants which included many children.

This is absolutely crazy. It appears that the term "an over reaction" is the wording that gutless world leaders and gutless western media/reporters have been instructed to use instead of the right words which are "outright terrorism/acts of war".

This is an attack on every single Lebanese citizen.

I'm even more concerned than ever before because there are over 25,000 Australian citizens over in Lebanon on holidays and a few of them are my friends. 8 Canadians have already been murdered aswell as another 10 injured.

This has got to stop, if the israeli government think that their barbaric actions are going to get the Lebanese people to turn against Hezboallah, then I guess they're as stupid as they seem because lets face it, nobody wins friends by murdering innocent men, woman and children and while they're at it, continue to destroy the whole countries infrastructure. Or it could be that these most recent acts of terrorism against the people of Lebanon is just the begining of a larger and much more sinister plan which I'm sure will be revealed in the not too distant future.

Re: Israel & Lebanon

Hesbollah successfully provoked Israel to start a campaign against itself in hopes that Syria would be drawn in. Iran already said that it would ally itself with Syria against Israel. Also, since Hesbollah is a de facto extension of Iran, it could be a decoy tactic by Iran to deflect attention from the nuclear weapon it is on the verge of building (and may have by the end of the year). When - and if - Iran has a nuke, it may use it against Israel, if not directly then by proxy of Hesbollah. Israel is aware of this immense threat and may very well strike first. The fact that very few nations so far disapporve of Israel's current actions (overtly, of course, everyone preaches "balanced use of force") means most western nations fear Iran's nuclear asprations and will tacitly support any means of its containment.

Simple. . . .here goes. . .

One Wednesday morning of last week, Hizbullah fired a barrage of rockets at a northern Israeli town called Shlomi. When the IDF moved up to the border to check it out, Hizbullah were waiting for them. They blew up a vehicle, killed 8 members of the IDF and kidnapped another two.

Note that Hizbullah had crossed the blue line - the UN recognised border as defined in 2000 when Israel moved out of Southern Lebanon.

This was a blatent act of provocation by Hizbullah, not only that, but had this action been carried out by an army it would be classed as an act of war. As Hizbullah control southern lebanon (the lebanese army leave them to run the place), Israel saw it for what it was, and acted accordingly. The rest, as they say, is history.

Hope that helps

Re: Israel & Lebanon

that pretty much sums it up. but someone will bring up the falsehood of isreal not being a real nation because of its creation, rather than the jews and chirsitans doing what got them out of there in the beginning........... religious cleansing of a region by..... a war which wrapped up with the battle of tours in 732 AD.... which was won by....... guess who......... not a government............... but a ....... go ahead.....you.....know............... A RELIGIOUSLLY FUELED EXPANSION MILITARY RUN BY A CLERIC>.... so i guess no one is at fault.
