Israel Blockades Lebanon

Israel expected teh UN to disarm Hezbollah in 2000. The UN failed to do it. Someone has to do it sometime so what better time than now?

Hezbollah hides behind civilians. They move around in ambulances. They fire rockets from private homes. Is it any wonder civians are getting killed by the Israeli response?
 
Remember that this whole situation did not start with the invasion of Israel by Hezbollah. It started with Hamas killing and ksinapping soldiers in Israel on the border of Gaza, and it started with the constatnt firing of rockets by Hezbollah into Northern Israel. Lebanon agreed to disarm Hezbollah as part of the 2000 agreement that saw Israel withdraw from Lebanon. That they could not do it themselves I can understand, they should have asked for international help.

Look at the optics of the situation. Israel withdraws from Lebanon, Hezbollah moves in closer to the border and fires rockets into Israel. Israel withdraws from Gaza, Hamas moves in and fires rockets into Israel. How do you think the average Israeli now sees the possibility of withdrawing from the West Bank.

Both Jordan and Egypt have peace agreements with Israel. There is trade with Jordan, and North-Western Egypt is a popular tourist destination for Israelis. At least it was until some of the resorts got bombed for beeing popular with Israelis.

Do I sense a pattern?
 
Not as we speak, no. But he has been known to frequent some of the Israeli beaches, mostly for the women.
 
I see the pattern also. The average Israeli would most likely not be happy about withdrawing from the West Bank. It would just be another place for terrorists to launch missles from. No one has done their part in disarming Hezbollah, so now Israel must.
 
you are an American who follows the Jewish religion..

YOU as an American have nothing to do with stealing of land in Palestine or killing 500 people in Lebanon.

Israel the STATE is what people are complaining about. muddying up the argument and taking everything said about Israel as anti-Jewish is not helping the discussion.

which is exactly what maverik is doing in the post i quoted. no one in this thread is blaming Jews on a whole for the actions of Israel.
 
Actually what you are saying confuses me -
let's think this one out, shall we...

Hisbolah kidnaps a couple of Israeli soldiers => doesn't that make you sit up and shake your head in disbelief? How did that happen? Hisbolah just strolled over the border and took the first Israelis they found hostage? How naive (and brainwashed) can you be?? Those soldiers got caught on the wrong side of the fence, simple as that. Now in the olden days that could have been interpreted as an act of war...

Still, on with the thoughts - So Hisbolah makes a few demands in return for their hostages - and they get the sh*t bombed out of them in return (correction, they bomb innocent people and the infrastructure because they haven't got a clue where Hisbolah actually hides out)...

All of the world except for Bush and his puppy Blair declare the Israeli aggression as mental and call for an immediate cease fire. Why not the US and UK? Is all of the world wrong and Bush has a divine insight here? Or can it be that the Israelis can do what they like because the big money machine in America is controlled by the Jews (no defamation intended here)? Let's face it - and I mean it:

If Syria (or any other country for that matter) would do to one of it's neigbours what Israel does right now the US would be there in a flash and invade that country. Israel has the US card blanc and they use it.

Those soldiers that are kept prisoners are just the excuse they were looking for to get back into and unfinished business from some years previous. And at the moment they can, because their protector US has a few thousand men in the area to make sure that any Arab coalition against Israel thinks five times before mounting anything -- funny how one country gets away with so much purely on the notion that God told them this was their land... If I moved onto some fields and build a house with that explanation they would put me into a padded cell for sure...
 
I'll be sure to let my relatives know that they aren't being missiled because they are Jewish but because they are Israeli. I'll try and talk them into giving Palestinians back their land.
 
Be patient. We are just getting to allocating Maryland.

I think you'll find "all the world" called the Israeli response disproportionate and called for a a ceasefire on both sides





The "unfinished business" was that their original withdrawl from Lebanon was conditional on Hizbollah disarming... hundreds of rockets and two kidnapped soldiers, all performed in order to provoke the Israelis further while Hizbollah hides amoung their fellow citizens in order to cause as many innocent casualties as possible - tell me that the disarmament hasn't happened.

And if you're worried about "Acts of war"
 
Well stop visiting then if its that bad, at least most of us only need one seat on a bus so our food can't be that bad despite the american junk food that will kill us in 30 days given the chance....:-)
