It all depends whose atrocities you choose to defend.
Israel and Hezbllah are guilty of terrible thing. Israels bombing campaign and ground offensive that have left hundredsof civilians dead ar indefensble. As are are Hezbollahs Vicious rocket campaign MEANT PURELY for civilian targets is also Grotesque and wrong. Pick your poison. The Lebanese are anti-semetic?....well....... The Israelis are anti-Arab. Israel was created to prevent the jews from suffering another holucaust not as a venue to start their own. It has been a struggle to get its arab neighors to recognize Israels soveriegnty and now in the case of lebannon sovereignty doesnt matter to the israelis anymore? Im not anti-semetic, im not anti-Israel. Im just frustrated with Israels arogant trigger happy foreign policy.
MR x said"Pick your poison. The Lebanese are anti-semetic?....
Sir,
The Lebanese were not mentioned as being Anti- Semetic.
The Hezbollah claims to be anti semetic. These are Hezbollah's words. Not ours. Read Hassan Nasrallah's own words.
If Israel sees a difference between hezbollah and the lebanese than why does it label its Violation of lebanese soveriegnty and continued thorough (not accidental) bombings of civilian targets as "suppression of Hezbollah".
I have read Nasrallahs words and think he's a racist, facist, and trigger happy thug.
Then again I have read the words of Natanyahu and come to the same conclusion. This war is indefensible on both sides. I just think we have taken different sides in a conflict which both parties are at fault.

Mr. X
I understand that you view all agressive/assertive purposes in the same light and that "a life is a life". "Violence is violence and it's all the same."
We must diffentiate. A true Fascist ,Nasrallah, in both words and actions, Nasrallah would not hesitate to kill every Jew and Christian on the planet. In Nasrallah's perfect world everyone must believe and behave according to his brand of Nazism or face the penalty of death. The highest level of appeal would be to a court which would clense the world of all non-believers, including yourself as one who wants to embrace all Christians ,Jews and Muslims.
Natanyahu,like Olmert, Bush and Blair are duly elected officials of democracy. Not perfect, but subject to the rule of law.
The highest level of appeal would be to a court that upholds the rights of individuals to life and liberty and fairly punishes those who break the laws. I'm surprised that you do not see the destinction. In Nasrallah's perfect world, you would not enjoy the freedom to call him a facist butcher. As a matter of fact, news reporters are always desperately afraid to critique the Hezbollah, as they were of Fatah and as they are of Hamas, for fear of retribution ( death. )
No such fear of Israel or of Natanyahu. Perhaps the invective in your reply is misdirected since all of the Sadams,the Amedinijhads, the Nasrallahs and the Kim Jung Ils of the world seem so much more deserving of it.
Israel, fighting a vicious enemy like the The Hezbolla, Hamas, el Fatah,Black September, The Taliban, Al Aksah Martyrs and Hezbollah and Al Quaeda, is an unfortunate necessity and war is not pretty.
I wouldnt call a war started over a kidnapping of two soldiers "an unfortunet necessity", it sounds so just and righteous. I am a strong believer in the rule of law. Therefore I am strongly concerned when Israel breaks international law by violating lebannese sovereignty and commiting murder (I fail to see the killing of innocent civilians as "collateral damage" especially when civilian deaths outnumber enemy deaths as in this case). Rule of law issues (mostly well disguised absense thereof) are my main problems with the policies of Israel and America (I believe someone else left a long post on this site towards the bottom discribing all the UN resolutions Israel is in Violation of). The one thing I agree with American and Israeli Law makers about is that peace in the middle east cant be acheieved without democracy and rule of law in all countries involved. Their failing is that instead of leading by example they choose to try and bring it about by the sword (or F-22 and M-16) . America has recently proven that it cannot hold fair and free elections and if my memory serves me both countries are in violation of several international laws as well as the fact that the current US government rules with little regard to US domestic laws or even constitutional law. In my opinion Natanyahu will do to Israel what Bush has done to America, not let the law of his nation or the world get in his way to acheive by any means neccessary what is good for the people that support him whatever the cost and whatever the end result.
"I am a strong believer in the rule of law." - Mr. X.
Law shmaw, if there's no enforcement, it's just political failure.
Mr. X, if you are a believer of the rule of law, where were your beliefs when Hezbollah was arming 15,000 rockets in front of UN security's eyes? Where was your rule of law when Hezbollah kidnapped 2 soldiers and killed 8 others in a terrible firy death. Where was your rule of law Hezbollah murdered and maimed the Christian population of Southern Lebanon for 15 years, displacing them northwards. Where was your rule of law when Syria was despotically controlling Lebanon for a half a century? Your rule of law is one sided and only goes against the only civilized nation in the region.
Who is it that has a justice system in the region and who is going by the justice of Khameini? There's just no comparisson.
I said "I agree with American and Israeli Law makers about is that peace in the middle east cant be acheieved without democracy and rule of law in all countries involved. Their failing is that instead of leading by example they choose to try and bring it about by the sword (or F-22 and M-16) "
The same applies to the arab world.
I agree that the United States and Israel should not be given Carte-Blanche to murder and pillage their way across the middle east but also there failing is trying to stop them by blowing themselves up and raining down rockets on innocent civilians.
The UN has not for years had the strength to do anything to curb either the terrorist interests of groups like hezbollah or Imperialist interests of nations like the US and Israel.
Rule of law fails whenever it becomes onsided. Everybody is equal in the eyes of the law. That said Israel being (as you so arrogantly put it) the "Only Civilized Country" in the middle east then it is required to set a good example (currently having a track record of equal atrocities and violations as its arab neighbors, hooray for civilization). Hezbollah is equally guilty of major violations but they are a bunch of fanatic terrorist rebels were Israel is a civilized democratic nation. If israel stands for freedom and democracy in the middle east then the middle east in in more trouble than it imagines.
