Israel Blockades Lebanon

hmm maybe I'm underestimating the US' ability to mobilise a massive force, but it doesn't really matter, the UK is going nowhere fast.
 
Perhaps if Hezbollah stayed on their side of the border and didn't kill or kidnap people, Israel wouldn't be doing what it's doing either.
 
You can't be serious.

They would have never went into Lebannon had Hezbollah not been firirng rockets into Israel and had taken their soldiers.

The Israelies just want to be left alone. They do not wish to make the entire world Jewish or have a desire to have world domination. They have given back land captured in previous wars. (may I add which they did not start in the first place)

The "Palestinian" crisis only continues to go on because they (the Palestinians) wanted everything and were not willing to compromise. They choose to use force and terrorism over diplomacy.

IMO, it's a no win situation unless the Palestinians step up to the table and make genuine efforts towards the peace process.
 
Sorry mate, but you really need to focus on what the person said. Taking over a country is child's play for the US. Occupying it is a whole different issue. We didn't need the UK to invade but once again occupying is a whole different issue.
 
I wonder how long it's gonna take one of the bigger nations to get off their asses and sort out this USA problem? Terrorists? yeah the us army are that. Butchering thousands of civilians torturing iraqis wow aren't americans great... yeah what a great bunch of people? if you can even call them people remember abu gharaib? those poor families that were shot for no reason? I hope the usa stop picking on the weaker nations and go for some big targets but i doubt that will happen because they are cowards. They wouldn't even do anything about North Korea... wimps
 
well on the other side of the coin if isreal's army was not being funded and sold weapons by the US the war would be a lot less one sided.



lebanon was bombing isreal with rockets before this started? i don't think so, lebanon has been peaceful for the past few years.
 
Why are there so many that want to hold Israel responsible for their sins but completely condone anything done against them?
 
So the US should stop funding Israel while it's enemies who want to eliminate it off the face of the earth still get funding?

If Israel were not in existance as a democracy in the area, would we have as good of relations with Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, etc.? I don't think so. I might be wrong and you can certainly disagree with me, but I think Israel and our dollars have had an influence that has been both good and bad for the US.



Well, they have been firing rockets since at least June 12th. That was well before Israel did anything to them. It was June 25th when Hamas took the first soldier and July 12th when Hezbollah took the others.
 
Hezbollah has acted with impunity for decades. What was the US response to the killing of hundred of US Marines in Lebanaon. Nothing much if I remember. Its about time someone stood up to Hezbollah and their backers.
 
Well I pointed out why we shouldn't give aid to Israel, and no one has refuted it.

I also want to point out a democracy is not always a good thing.

I really love how Israel today killed 56 civlians and ONE Hezbollah fighter.

Good ratio, if we want to kill 100 fighters we only have to kill 5600 civilians....sure seems like Israel with all of their "advanced warfare" is smashing Hezbollah in the civilian casualties count.
 
Hezbollah has been taking its occassional pot shot with rockets for years.

Its just when they crossed the border and kidnapped Isreali citizens (soldiers)
then the Israelies started to bomb. They had falsely assumed that when the Syrians left Lebannon things would get better. Apparently the Lebanese govt. has no control of Hezbollah on its southern border.

War Sucks, Violence Sucks, Do I wish it were differently and there be a better more civilized way? YES!!!

But if I had to choose sides it would be with our friend ISREAL.
