Hizbullah's common sense
For those who are criticizing Israel for killing Lebanese citizens, I have two questions:
1. How come you don't criticize Hizbullah for not allowing the Lebanese to leave the villages where they are bombing from?
2. How come you don't criticize Hizbullah for shooting rockets and killing innocent Palestinians living in Nazereth?
Actually the more important question:
1. How come you don't criticize Hizbullah for kidnapping our soldiers and killing eight Israeli soldiers out of the blue with no provocation from Israel whatsoever??? (For those ignorant of the geographical map - Hizbullah is in Lebanon, Israel has left Lebanon in 2000).
For those who believe that Israel is trying to start a war with Lebanon - you couldn't be further from the truth. We are trying to defend our citizens from more bombardments from the Hizbullah. The only way to defend is by bombing the infrastructure that allows planes and trucks with weapons to arrive from Syria and Iran to Southern Lebanon.
Israel has no interest in getting into a war with Lebanon. Lebanon is NOT synonymous with Hizbullah! The Lebanese government would have gladly gotten rid of them if they were strong enough to do so. But this government is very weak after decades of being controlled by Syria. Lebanon is a victim of the entire league of Arab nations who never cared for the small country and largely Christian and secular Arab nation. Lebanon is a victim of Syrian and Iranian politics. If it weren't for the western world supporting Lebanon, Syria would have annexed it to its own borders years ago!
Middle East politics is not as simple as black and white. Obviously the Arabic media is fed via propoganda of years and years of blaming Israel for all the ills of the Middle East. It's in their interest to do so. But you can bet your lives that if it were ANY OTHER nation living in the Middle East they'd be suffering just as much. It isn't just Israel suffering from Islamic invasions in an attempt to expand their borders, it's Lebanon and several others. Or do I need to remind everyone of the invasion of Kuwait - unprovoked and unprecendented. The only difference - the western world didn't like it and got involved.
It happens all over the world. And every nation has a right to defend itself. Before you criticize Israel, think what you would have done if it were your own country where you grew up.

I could have sworn I commented on this yesterday, but blogger was being impossible so God knows where my comment ended up.
Basically what I had said was that unfortunately for a lot of people in the middle east their governments are going to have to be held accountable for allowing terrorists to operate within their borders and this will without a doubt result in a lot of unfortunate civilian casualties.
Hopefully the message will become more clear in time.

Well not everyone in Lebanon may agree with Hezbellah.....why should they be caught in the cross fire??....and for every one person in Israel injured, 15 Arabs get killed....killing is wrong.....both ways.....I dun agree with suicide bombings and abductions.........and Islam doesn't allow it...dunno why some self proclaimed Jihadi groups are using this method.......so personally I feel both countries should be reprimanded...Israel and Lebanon....plus if Israel say s Syria is fundng Hezbelloah and Israel wants to get rid of the root-cause...why isn't Israel doing anything about them?? Why hit on a place that already can't defend itself.......that's my personal view......as u said everybody has some sort of bias in their views....so sorry I can't help it....can't agree with Israel on this issue......I can't for the life of me understand how the killing of so many ppl can be justified.....war should be between Armies...not civilians against army...or some gurella group against civilians........and both sides are commiting war crimes...I'm sorry to say. And one nations terroist is another nations hero........hard defining a boundary between freedom fighters and terroist.....personally I think the Palestinian people are freedom fighters as a whole with some black sheep amongst them.

Freedom for Lebanon can ultimately be achieved by removing the black sheep that are currently causing the black eye. Drive Hezbollah out into Israel. They will take care of them.
