Hezbollah started firing rockets into Israel on June 12th, almost a month before the kidnapping of the soldiers.
Between July 12th ( a month later ) and July 17th, they fired 1400 rockets into Israel.
The death toll is about 10 to 1 with 384 dead in Lebanon versus 36 dead in Israel.
Even the UN Humanitarian chief recognizes that Hezbollah is intentionally hiding among women and children so that Israel will have to kill women and children in order to get at the Hezbollah terrorists.
Major focus is on how much damage has been done to Lebanon and how many people are being displaced. Very little reporting is being done on Israel's damage and the number of people displaced.
An Arab advocacy group is now suing the US government because Americans were in Lebanon when Israel started it's retaliation claiming that the US should have prevented Israel from attacking. Interestingly, they apparently are not concerned with the fact that Hezebollah is attacking Israel even though Americans were in Israel. Their suit demands that the US gov't drop support of Israel.
This does not negate the fact that DCombatives holds right wing nationalist views just like the folks in the link I gave.. so what is it that I supposedly lost?
Guys,guys,this post is gething far to personal from time to time.
I have to agree(unfortunatly)that some off the so called"rightwing nationalist
vieuws" are comming close to what whe call "the extreme right" in my country,Belgium,but do you have to call him a "nazi"for that ???
During the occupation of my country in the second worldwar,my grandfather
wass an active member off a "lifeline",thy helped dawnd pilosts to escape to
Spain(Gibraltar).
He was lucky,the gestapo never found him,so he survived to tell me his story.
So pleas,believe me when i tell you that i now what nazis are.
So,i'm sure the person with the "rightwing views"is not a nazie,just becose of
his oppinion.
PLEAS BE MORE CAREFULL WITH THAT WORD !!!!!!!
Besaides,just becose that person hase "rightwingviews",dus that mean he has not the right to express his oppinion ???
Whe all live in a democratie(i hope),but it seems whe have forgotten what it means.
Perhaps i should end like this:
I HATE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
BUT I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT
VOLTAIRE
Actually at that time surrendering wasn't a part of the Japanese culture. Each and every one of them was told to, and most of them would have, fought to the death to defend their homeland from an invasion. So not only did the atom bombs save American lives, but they also saved many more Japanese lives. If it wasn't for the idea of more atom bombs, they wouldn't have ever thought of surrendering. So, getting involved earlier would have just resulted in a longer war with more deaths.
