That is another myth, part of the brain wash that is going on, the Jewish and thier lovers trying to convince people that Hitler was going to kill gays gypsies, Asians Africans, Etc. The fact is different; he actually had treaties with many countries that did not have blond hair and blue eyes. (Italians and Japanese were not Arians) But we know well how many people trying to change history for the favor of the Jewish cause. and some people Refuse to admit the source of the problem.

It is very frustrating to be a citizen of a country that stands by and watches all the atrocities. I sign petitions and write e-mails to government officials, but I still feel helpless. I'd march here but am afraid to do that in this country - wouldn't hesitate to do it and did do it in other countries. I give money for aid, but that doesn't stop the bombing or help influence the political situation at all.

The situation is dark. I draw parallels with the period in South African history where there seemed no hope for the black South Africans. We wait for a Nelson Mandela figure - but note that the US and UK viewed him as a terrorist and for years did not advocate for the rights of those whose ancestral land was stolen to be restored. I cannot envisage a peaceful SA without the blacks being given equality in their own lands. Currently, one Arab life is clearly not worth the same as any other human life - this situation is only going to widen the rift and make things worse. I cannot in all conciousness tell a suffering Arab that they are wrong to feel hatred and contempt towards Israel and the US, and yes even the UK who I am ashamed to see is going against the will of her people yet again in refusing to call for an immediate ceasefire. War crimes are being committed in full view of the media - being shown graphically in all Arab media and less graphically in general, but shown never-the-less - and this can only fuel the rage and frustration of anyone with a heart. And what does the Uk and US do? The US sends more bombs to Israel. Sad.

    In my humble opinion, if you oppose peace between nations and encourage destruction, then YOU are part of the problem.

Want my opinion? You ARE the problem. (not you :P I mean the people opposing peace)
It all starts with intolerance, religious racism and of course the mother of all problems: ignorance.

Jewish Racism and Terorrism According to Rabbi Ginsburg
Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, head of the Kever Yossev Yeshiva (school of Talmud) in Nablus stated, "The blood of the Jewish people is loved by the Lord; it is therefore redder and their life is preferable."
The killing by a Jew of a non-Jew, i.e. a Palestinian, is considered essentially a good deed, and Jews should therefore have no compunction about it. Source: Yitzhak Ginsburg, "Five General Religious Duties Which Lie Behind the Act of the Saintly, Late Rabbi Baruch Goldstein, May his Blood be Avenged"
the Jews as evil demons???? ohhhh poor them :twisted:
Part of the problem is not the source of it

There is evidence that refutes many of these claims. That likely doesn't matter though. :lol: Some people try to change history to paint the Jews as evil demons to suit their own agendas. Some people refuse to admit that their own attitudes and biases are part of the problem.

If Choc or I, or anyone else talks about peace and everyone equally deserving a chance to live - you tell us we don't have a clue. That is illogical. I will never support the destruction of any group of people, and I don't really care what anyone thinks about that or my knowledge of the "facts". Genocide is wrong and there are no "facts" that could ever support it.

Freza, why don't you stop patronizing the entire forum with every post of yours. Intolerance is part of the problem, not leading to the solution. Every single one of your posts says the exact same thing. Why don't you read the UN reports that say that Hezbollah has been firing on UNIFIL soldiers who have been trying to help Lebanese civilians escape. Or the wide range of news stories that Hezbollah launches rockets from civilians areas. Your response to everything that doesn't match your view is "American/Zionist conspiracy." There is no one in the forum who has expressed any support for the Israel attacks. Your hate-filled ranting has reduced the quality of discussion that once existed here.

    Just because they are not using equal firepower does not mean they are not equally responsible for the conflict itself. To make it seem that Hezbollah have been little angels for decades is ludicrous.

Decades? Um, well two decades.. Hezbollah has existed since the early 80's. You know why they exist, right? To protect themselves from a previous invader - Israel. (Who is saying that Hezbollah are angels? silly comment. But look at the facts, look at who have not been angels.) Israel was planning this re-invasion for years, the media and analysts have discussed it; Israel has not denied it, actually there is evidence out there to prove that this was planned. You're way, way behind on the news kanelli. Keep up will you.
When are you finally going to come out of your Zionist closet? You're not fooling anyone here....

Works out to about 2 a day. More or less depending on whether you include Israelis.

Isreal could do what it wants, because Arabs are weak, greedy, lazy bums who can't even stand up to punch of Zoinist mutherF***ckers. Where is Saud Arabia, Emirates, Kuwaite, Baharian, Jordan, Egypt, in condemming this aggression by the Zoinist. Is it only up to Syria and none Arab Iranian to defend whatever dignity Arabs had left. Arabs don't even have the balls to shut the Oil to the west...to protest against this naked aggression against soveriegn nation. Wallahi this not only sicking, but also cowards by Arabs especially in gulf.

Yes Israel is freaking out, they have one corporal caputred in the south.. and now two in the north. They have two fronts open with a prime minister and defense minister that have very little military expeirence and those acts they are taking are out of deserpation. It is very low blow to hit the airport especially during the summer when most of the people are coming back for summer holidays. I hope the world can see how Israel for the paste weeks is ready to distruct the whole middle east for 3 of its soldiers killing many innocent civilians for 3 military men !!! On the positive side this is huge for the resistance against the occupied forces and I hope that it will mean lots of women, children and other innocent people in Israel prisons might see freedom soon.

You forgot the essential: Hezbollah go to hell They are a plague. With them around we will NEVER know peace in Lebanon.

Nick i love how you are blaming Hezbollah for this !!!! They are practicing there legal right to armed resistance against an occupying force and have captured two soldiers. How is hezbollah responsible for the actions of the war machine (i.e the state of Israel) ? YOu should be proud of Hezbollah and the achievments they have made, if it wasnt for them and there protection of the south Israel would have still been there bombing Lebanon's infrastructure almost weekly as was the case when they were controlling the south !!!

Also, one more comment on this part. How do you want to acheive peace ? Throw away Hezbollah's weapons and then become a sheep like Egypt and Jordan and get peace ? Well here is a news flash for you this wont bring peace to lebanon but rather make it weaker against a war hungry neighbor.
kanelli
The news reports say that the Israeli soldiers were captured in a cross-border raid. Who was going across the border? Were the Israelis captured on Lebanese soil, or did Hezbollah capture Israelis across the border?
MaaaD
here was the story is according to Israeli Haaretz :
The fighting began at about 9:00 A.M., when a group of reserve soldiers in two armored jeeps was conducting a routine patrol of the border. As the jeeps passed between Moshav Zarit and Moshav Shtula, Hezbollah attacked.
An initial inquiry revealed that the Hezbollah operatives had crossed the border earlier via a "dead zone" in the border fence not visible from any of the IDF lookout posts. There are dozens of similar "dead zones" along the northern border, though the IDF said that lookout cameras to cover this particular spot were due to be installed next week. The assailants may have used a wheeled ladder to climb over the fence.
The operatives hid themselves in an overgrown wadi about 200 meters on the Israeli side of the fence and waited until the IDF troops arrived, whereupon they attacked, apparently with a combination of explosives and antitank missiles.
Three soldiers were killed during the initial assault, while one soldier was seriously wounded, another lightly wounded and a third suffered a shrapnel scratch. In addition, the assailants kidnapped two soldiers, whose medical condition is unknown. According to the IDF, Hezbollah probably had an escape vehicle waiting on the other side of the fence. The entire incident took no more than 10 minutes, and the Israeli soldiers apparently never fired a shot.
kanelli
Well, if Hezbollah did come across the border to attack and kidnap Israeli soldiers, then Hezbollah should take responsibility for the retaliation attack that has killed innocent Lebanese and wreaked havoc on Beirut. Militant groups do not have the support of all the people and some of their actions that are out of line have significant repercussions on the population in general. Yes, the Israelis are out of control with their conduct - they are so heavy handed that it isn't funny - but the fact remains that Beirut would likely not have been attacked if Hezbollah militants did not cross the border and capture Israeli soldiers. I'm so sorry that everyday Lebanese have to suffer, as well as the Palestinians. They need to gain some control over the militant groups if there is ever going to be peace. Israel controlling its military is another matter - it will likely take major international pressure for that to happen, but we don't seem to see that happening do we! :evil:
Nick81
I don't need anyone lecturing me on the situation in Lebanon and who I should praise or blame for what's happening here. I was born in an underground parking lot and most of my childhood was spent in fear. Hezbollah do NOT represent the Lebanese. They have their OWN interests, interests that go AGAINST anything that could be considered good for our country. But of course this is something thy don't give a crap about. Poor Palestinians? Yeah. Israel is to blame for everything? Maybe. But why do we have to pay the price EVERY SINGLE time. Give your nice theory to all the businesses that are going to suffer from this in Lebanon, tell this to all the people who had started dreaming about a better future and tell how taking this in consideration will make me feel better knowing that my family and loved ones are there. Pay the price? **** that! Let Syria and Iran pay the price if they're so excited about playing heros.
MaaaD
Kanelli what you are saying is true if you want to treat Gaza and South Lebanon as two different entities which would server perfectly in the "divide and conquer" mentality that israel is employing in the region. However if you view Hezbollah's attack as a retaliation to the ongoing offensive in Gaza then you will see things from a different prespective. Last thing Israel wants is to see Hezbollah retaliate for something that happened in Gaza .. because look at the bad situation its put in right now and is acting like an out of control raging bull. Also keep in mind Israel is still occupying part of south lebanon (albeit a small part) and Hezbollah has a legitimate reason to still be armed and fight for that part back. I do agree with you about the part of controlling the militant groups, they have to be used strategically to show israel that the other side does have power but at the same time never add to the toll of killed innocent civilians. But in the past few weeks what we have seen has been an offensive by the militant groups on Israeli military and then a brutal offensive back on innocent civilians by the Israel, showing the world its true colors. But does the world care ?

Israelis/Jews are trying to carve out a homeland so that they won't have to face the kind of genocide that happened to them ever again. I believe that they will fight very hard for this and it makes them a formidable force. Their will is great and they cannot be underestimated. When they don't feel threatened they are likely to calm down and talk peace. The militant groups are threatening, and the international community is not doing enough to help solve this situation for both parties.
Hezbollah may sympathise with what is going on in Gaza, but all they have done with their retaliation raid and kidnap is indirectly murder innocent Lebanese. Let the Palestinians handle the Gaza issue - Hezbollah should not be dragging Lebanon into the fray by making a very unwise attack at the border. I'm sure there are bunch of men in Hezbollah with not much to do who are itching for some Iraeli ass-kicking, but look what their actions caused to the Lebanese people and the stability in the region!
Israel's recent heavy handed tactics aren't doing anything for stability in the region either - they are angering many people and are instigating retaliation attacks. If they were smart they would calm down. Everyone needs to calm down :!:

Again Kanelli, i am looking at things from the context of Arab - Israeli conflict rather than each country on its own. And thats the only way peace can be acheived, because peace should be done between equal or almost equalt parties and i think with the military and economic strength of Israel right now, i would say the whole arab world in a united front could almost pass for equals while each country on its own is much less stronger and thus more vulnerable to give in to more compromises in peace negotiations. This is why Israel has been very keen on makeing sure they negotiate with each country seperatly and it pisses them off alot that Lebanon refuses to negotiate seperate from Syria.

Yes, and as a united front could probably force Israel to back off. But they haven't. Not now, not last year, not since the Intifada started, not during the civil war in Lebanon, and so on. So Hamas and Hezbollah claim they represent Arab interests? I don't think, despite their rhetoric, even they genuinely believe they do.
Egypt and Jordan have found a compromise with Israel. Not one that's acceptable to the likes of Hezbollah and Hamas, but there are millions of people in those two countries who aren't living in a state of war or a refugee camp.
Anyway, aren't Hezbollah Iranian/Syrian backed? They're hardly representative of Lebanon then?
It's not until both sides focus on finding a solution instead of justifying why they're right, that any progress towards peace will ever be made :( .

Defend our country? The Lebanese are supposed to stand alone against Israel while all other countries are sitting with a thumb up their a$$es?
There is NO national unity in Lebanon. The politics in the country are a complete joke. The Hezbollah just took the decision to attack Israel ON THEIR OWN (or at Syria/Iran's orders of course) and WE have to pay for their decision. Ask your family if they're enjoying what they're going through in Lebanon now. Defend our country? HOW? We're just going to lose everything we did in the last few years. Think any of our Arab "brothers" will help us after this??? It's time to live in the real world.
ISRAEL IS GOING NOWHERE. IT'S NOT GOING TO VANISH INTO THIN AIR. Let's wait for what's going to happen in the next hours. They can take Beirut in a matter of hours. That's be real fun for everyone. Let's just hope that the idea of "fighting" Israel will get food on the table for everyone and ensure their safety.
Nick81
Oh one more thing because that thing about "fighting" Israel just cracked me up. Who's going to fight IF we stand long enough to even have a chance to do so? Army? No comment :lol: Civilians? The days of the civil war are over. There's no unity in the country and as soon as they get weapons they'll fight each other instead of uniting against Israel.

I should have added, there was an almost united front in 2002 when the Saudis proposed a peace agreement. It wasn't anything that hadn't been said already but it was significant that it came from Saudi and was supported by all (or most) Arab nations. Of course, Hamas scuppered that one - Israel may not have accepted it anyway but Hamas made sure of it with the Netanya bombing. I can understand why some people claim that Hamas and Hezbollah are actually Israeli organisations. I know I've gone off-topic a bit since this was about Israel and Hezbollah but I'm making a general point that the resistance/terrorist groups do not represent the rest of the Arab world, since both call for the destruction of Israel.

Some Israelis do.
Much like Hamas and Hezbollah decide that Israelis are less than human and deserve to be destroyed.
Arab nations tolerate Hamas/Hezbollah actions. Western nations tolerate Israeli actions. The Palestinians and now the Lebanese (again :( ) are caught between the two sides. The Palestinians by choice - they voted for Hamas. The Lebanese by tolerating Hezbollah presence.
Western nations will maintain that Israel has a right to exist. That won't change no matter how many Arab civilians are killed by Israel. So the conflict will continue until the West agrees that Israel should be destroyed (ha ha) or Hamas/Hezbollah agree that Israel has a right to exist (also ha ha).
So Israel will retaliate when their soldiers are killed or taken from what they consider to be Israeli territory, and the West will condemn their bombing of Beirut airport but tolerate it.

    Good thing you're not exaggerating a little.
    If you want to talk about the world doing nothing, 2 days ago 200 people were killed in India and that is already off the news.

Yeah, there are not hundreds and thousands of Palestinians killed every day by Israelis. It is really sad that the current story has pushed the Mumbai tragedy out of the news. Very sad that so many were killed. :cry:

did anybody else see that France have issued Israel with an ultimatum over its' attacks? Unf. the big fat U.S of A have stuck their oar in and countered it already - what 'cha gonna do? Mind you, knowing a little about France' military history I don't know whether it is merely an empty threat......... (apologies to any Gallic readers)

Where is Saud Arabia, Emirates, Kuwaite, Baharian, Jordan, Egypt, in condemming this aggression by the Zoinist. Is it only up to Syria and none Arab Iranian to defend whatever dignity Arabs had left. Arabs don't even have the balls to shut the Oil to the west...to protest against this naked aggression against soveriegn nation. Wallahi this not only sicking, but also cowards by Arabs especially in gulf.

please dont blame the arab people but blame the frukin leaders, i am sure that if a war starts (and it will sooner or later) it will be the the general common muslim who will be on the front lines.

this logic is messed up, its the people who are putting up with those leaders and they wouldnt be in power if it wasnt for the people accepting the status quo, so stop blaming the leaders.
This blame cycle has been a disease in the Middle East, where the people always blame there leaders, and the leaders are blaming israel for all the messed up shiat that happening in here.

I hope no one is offended by this, but this conflict reminds me of the scene at the end of "The Rock" where General Hummel (Ed Harris) pulls his gun on one of his mercenary soldiers who turned against him, after which the other three soldiers in the room all pull their guns on each other. The situation didn't turn out well for anybody.

I totally disagree....
Pakistan's Nuclear tech is for defensive purposes and is not for sale. PERIOD
If the Arab nations want to be strong, they need to unite like the Jews are. Only then will the Arabs succeed.

HP, first of all your language is unacceptable. Islam didn't teach us to distinguish between arabs and non-arabs. Second, the arab countries have the power it takes to discipline Israel. Egypt alone has, let alone a combination of countries. It's not a matter of power, it is a matter of the leaders' choice and interest. Choice & Interest: let's make sure we stay in power and make sure our children and childrens' children and childrens' childrens' children will inherit our power!!!!

1. the world in this context is actually a relatively small number of economically, politically developed countries, that is the big powers. the rest of us can have an opinion, but nobody gives a shit about it.
2. politics r NEVER about telling the truth, being good or fair. we might think to know whats going on, but we dont, not one bit.
3. since i mentioned power, well holding the power has nothing to do with helping others. whenever they "help" , they actually help themselves into having more power, more influence, more money. the country that gets the "help" is always the one that fits into the political strategy of the helpers. one more reason to understand and believe that we have absolutely no idea why some decisions are made the way they are made.
4. if we wanna simplify it, these conflicts are like fights between 2 brothers. generally they r not twins, one is older, the other younger. if they want to solve it between them, the younger will win only if smarter.
now if a parent steps in, whatever desicion he will make, smbody will be unhappy about it and hold it against him.
PS: just think of all the posts in this forum, where ppl were saying americans should mind their own business instead of interfaring all the time and pose as peacemakers...

Like I said they have balls you and likes of you don't...Afghans are reliable warrior on the field, they have proven themself throughout History, whether it be against British imperlist 100+ years ago when they left one British soliders standing our of 100000...against Soviet who they fought bravely.

Ok Corc, I am going to try and be as clear as I can right now.
Yes Israel is a big problem for all Arab countries. Its direct neighbours actually. The rest, as much as they bark, aren't lifting a finger to do somethng about it.
It's our right to defend it? Refer to my previous post about that.
To begin with there is NO "we" in what's happening in Lebanon. Do you think the population, the government KNEW about Hezbollah's plans before we got into this mess? No. Do you think Hezbollah's plan here is limited to "defending" our country and playing heroes? Anyone who trully believes that has obviously no clue whatsoever about what's going on in Lebanon, and Hezbollah's agenda. But I guess all is fine, our hotels are now empty, tourists have fleed. Where to? Well Syria of course. All their hotels are full now, at least for a few days. Jackpot.
Lebanon is still paying the price. Was that what you had in mind Corc when you mentioned it?
Everyone is going to profit from this, EVERYONE but us. When things calm down, Israel will STILL be here, Hezbollah will STILL be here, we will STILL have a crappy government, we will STILL be a broken dream. The only thing that will have changed is that the economy will have gone completely kaput again. But yeah, "WE" made a point right? "WE" kidnapped 2 soldiers, sacrificed a whole country without asking for anyone's opinion. We are trully a model for all other countries.

Good point. And there are no surprises in the actions taken by Hezbollah or Israel.
The question is, why have a crack at the Lebanese economy, and why now? Things were going well there, tourism and economic growth, reconstruction of Beirut. Yes, Israel's reaction seemed grossly out of proportion to the provocation but they have a history of doing that. So why on earth did Hezbollah give them a poke like this? They know their enemy well enough to know that Israel would retaliate in this way.

mraph can you not start this game of "you started it". I am not going back to history of 3000 years of who started it but lets just talk about recent history. Hamas had a ceasefire with Israel, until the latter bombed that innocent family on a picnic on the beach in Gaza and then Hamas ended the ceasefire which eventually led to the capture of the soldier in Gaza and which brought over the insane reaction of the Israeli army in Gaza. That prompted Hizbollah to go ahead and capture two soldiers in the north and here we are today. So do not buy in to the Israeli media ploy of oh we are the victims and got attacked first. It is a chain of events and not isolated events.

If Hizbollah did not kidnap and attack the soldiers, Israel would not have bombed - correct? Yes, Israel is being heavy handed, but Hizbollah are the ones that stuck their nose in. If you play with fire you will get burned.

sadly it has been the center of the religious (Palestine) and economical (oil) conflict of the world and will continue to be so till either one power completely dominated the area. Or the people are empowered to control there own destiny.

I wasn't trying to simplify 3000 years in to 1 sentence. But the Israel/Lebanon border has been quiet until the Hizbollah capturing of Israeli soldiers there. Lebanon & Gaza are seperate places and Hamas & Hezbollah are seperate organizations.

Israel has pulled back from central Gaza but say they're still continuing operations elsewhere in Gaza. They carried out an air strike on the Palestinian foreign ministry on Wed. Abbas apparently held secret talks with Israel to find a way to end the Gaza crisis. I guess it's overshadowed by events in Lebanon.

Um, France and Russia condemned the attacks (presume you're talking about the Israeli ones). Qatar put forward a UN resolution which was supported by ten security council members, calling for a halt to the Israeli attacks. Surprisingly, it was vetoed by the US :shock: . But now Bush is saying he will press Israel to stop (I thought I just read that but can't find it again).
Hezbollah claimed they captured the two soldiers to put pressure on Israel to release Palestinian prisoners. I have to scratch my head and wonder where on earth Hezbollah get the idea that such an idea would work. I don't think even Yitzak Rabin would have held back from retaliating.
That's why I wonder if there's something else going on. This picture doesn't make sense on the face of it.

hezbulla got that idea , because they did before and it worked , and they proved that israel only surrender to force , that why they left lebanon in 1980-and 2000 ...

I’m not big into all the conspiracy theories but I do agree that there is definitely something else going on and Israel controlling Hezbollah is a theory that makes more sense. If any of have been watching BBC World today the Israeli’s have flat out said that now they want a lot more than just their 2 soldiers back, they are using this as an opportunity. Having said that, I agree with previous posts Israel is a much less source of Arab problems then Arabs. If we had our own act together the Muslim world would be in a much better place today. Anyway my two fils, I don’t claim to be fully knowledgeable about the history in this region. My heart goes out to all that are sufferring

Hezbollah was founded in 1982 so not sure how they forced Israel out in 1980. Anyway, Israel only partially withdrew in 1978 leaving behind the SLA to pester UNIFIL. And came back to hit Beirut in 1982. If Hezbollah is claiming that their use of force solves problems, it takes them a long time and costs a lot (1982 - 2000 to get Israel out, and 20,000 Arab lives lost in the meantime).
I don't really believe Hezbollah are an Israeli organisation but they do seem to be doing more for the Israelis than the Lebanese. There are far more Arab than Israeli lives lost while this conflict remains unresolved.

Yes I am. And proud to be one. Unfortunately patriotism is something that has been quite nonexistent in our country for a long long time. We are too busy joining parties, diving ourselves and fighting in the name of a clown.
Everyone has lost sight of the big picture, of our children's future. This is what I keep in mind when I watch the news now. This is what I see when I see the tourists fleeing, when I see Israel bombarding our cities, and the bearded fools barking in front of cameras that the rest of the country better side with them and not make any comments favorable to Israel.
I hope thar for once, there will a good conclusion, a justification for what happened. Let's hope we can force Hezbollah to disarm and start actually controlling South Lebanon and removing the influence of those Syria/Iran sell-outs.

Yes, it's the Lebanese people who are coming off worst out of this particular episode. But if Hezbollah do get thrown out, it then removes any excuse Israel claims to have for interfering in South Lebanon.

The cowered Saudis as usual are condenming the actions of brave Hizaballoha who are the only Arabs with balls. This Saudi cowereds can't standup to US and Isreal, but they will do anything possible to send their lunatics to poor muslim countries like Afghanistan,Somali, Pakistane, Indonesia, Iraq, etc to create problems for poor people. They send their lunatics to Europe and Us to brainwash muslim youths to hate the country that welcomed them...but when it comes to clean their own backyard from corruption and standing up American influence in holy land they ignored coweredly. Know these bastereds have the nerve to condenm Hizaballoh and Hamas for standing for their people against naked aggression of Isreal.
    Quote:
  • Saudi Arabia Accuses Hizbullah of 'Uncalculated
    Adventures'
    In a significant move, Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's political heavyweight and economic powerhouse, accused Hizbullah -- without naming it -- of "uncalculated adventures" that could precipitate a new Middle East crisis.
    A Saudi official quoted by the state Saudi Press Agency said Hizbullah's brazen capture of two Israeli soldiers was not legitimate.
    The kingdom "clearly announces that there has to be a differentiation between legitimate resistance (to Israel) and uncalculated adventures."
    Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon, striking bridges, airports and the main highway leading to Syria to put pressure on the government and force Hizbullah to free the two Israeli soldiers it captured Wednesday.
    The Saudi official said Hizbullah's actions could lead to "an extremely serious situation which could subject all Arab nations and its achievements to destruction."
    "The kingdom sees that it is time for those elements to alone shoulder the full responsibility for this irresponsible behavior and that the burden of ending the crisis falls on them alone."
    Israel's attack on Lebanon is its heaviest offensive there in 24 years. Two days of Israeli bombings have killed 47 Lebanese and wounded 103. Two Israeli civilians and eight Israeli soldiers have also been killed, the military's highest death toll in four years.
    Saudi Arabia's comments on the crisis came after most moderate Arab governments reacted with relative restraint to Israel's offensive in Lebanon, condemning attacks on civilians and infrastructure but also implicitly criticizing Hizbullah.
    However, Iran and Syria, who back Hizbullah, voiced their support to the guerrilla on Thursday.
    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also warned Israel against extending its offensive in Lebanon to neighboring Syria and said such a move would equate to an attack against the Islamic world, the official Iranian news agency reported Friday.
    The Iranian leader called on Muslim countries to create a united front against Israel.
    "The Islamic world, especially countries in this region, need more unity and integrity, particularly in the context of Lebanon and Palestine," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
    "The Islamic republic of Iran supports the case (for unity) with all its diplomatic capacity," he said.(AP)

Hamas was voted in by the people, while Hizaballoh has 23 elected officials representing them in the Lebanese parliament. The Hizaballoh like hamas has better welfare system than other government representative. Again like Hamas they are less corrupt than other elected officials.

Isreal is holding over 1000 Hizabollah and Hamas prisoners without putting them on trial, but they have the nerves to go to war over two of their soliders who were captured :roll: . Isreal is using this situation to further theirs and US agenda to get Iran and Syria involved in this conflict. Since the nuclear weapon excuse by US has failed, the American administration is using Isreal to push buttons to get Iran/Syria involved in conflict with Isreal.

    Yes Israel is a big problem for all Arab countries. Its direct neighbours actually. The rest, as much as they bark, aren't lifting a finger to do somethng about it.
    It's our right to defend it? Refer to my previous post about that.
    To begin with there is NO "we" in what's happening in Lebanon. Do you think the population, the government KNEW about Hezbollah's plans before we got into this mess? No. Do you think Hezbollah's plan here is limited to "defending" our country and playing heroes? Anyone who trully believes that has obviously no clue whatsoever about what's going on in Lebanon, and Hezbollah's agenda. But I guess all is fine, our hotels are now empty, tourists have fleed. Where to? [color=red]Well Syria of course. All their hotels are full now, at least for a few days. Jackpot. [/color]Lebanon is still paying the price. Was that what you had in mind Corc when you mentioned it?

for 8 soliders killed and 2 abducted, Isreal goes out and kills 60 Lebanese civilians, wiping out a 2 whole families. There is no justification for what Isreal is doing right know to Lebenon and Gaza and they have been doing this for 60 years right, act as if they are above any international law. Imagine if IRan did this, if they invaded Iraq or Afghanistan because their soliders were abducted by Afghans or Iraqis...the Americans would not congrulate them the same they congrulate Isreal for bombing the shit out of weaker nation...but instead they would push for case to invade Iran because they threat to their nieghbors. But Isreal no matter many of its neighbors it kills or invades...they are immune for any guilt. When Isreal kills 60 civilians with their air raids they are excused as being provoked...but when Hizabollah or hamas retaliates against isreal aggression they are seen as terrorist :roll:.
I'm not suprised at Isreal's reaction, because they have always reacted like this. I'm suprised at the lack of coweredness shown by Arab leaders as usual and the usual double standard shown by American administration...condenming terrorism by Hizabollah and Hamas...okeying the terrorism by Isreal. I'm suprised that Western media who blasted Zidane for retaliating violently by headbutting someone who insulted him is know making excuse for Isrealis violent reaction to an incident that could be solved by negotiating..instead chose war that could lead to what I'm afraid will be World war 3. :roll:

Mass exodus after WWII when Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire. A Blafour declaration years before had promised the Jews a homeland in Palestine. And then a series of wars which lead to the state of Israel being created.

    for 8 soliders killed and 2 abducted, Isreal goes out and kills 60 Lebanese civilians, wiping out a 2 whole families. There is no justification for what Isreal is doing right know to Lebenon and Gaza and they have been doing this for 60 years right, act as if they are above any international law. Imagine if IRan did this, if they invaded Iraq or Afghanistan because their soliders were abducted by Afghans or Iraqis...the Americans would not congrulate them the same they congrulate Isreal for bombing the shit out of weaker nation...but instead they would push for case to invade Iran because they threat to their nieghbors. But Isreal no matter many of its neighbors it kills or invades...they are immune for any guilt. When Isreal kills 60 civilians with their air raids they are excused as being provoked...but when Hizabollah or hamas retaliates against isreal aggression they are seen as terrorist :roll:.
    I'm not suprised at Isreal's reaction, because they have always reacted like this. I'm suprised at the lack of coweredness shown by Arab leaders as usual and the usual double standard shown by American administration...condenming terrorism by Hizabollah and Hamas...okeying the terrorism by Isreal. I'm suprised that Western media who blasted Zidane for retaliating violently by headbutting someone who insulted him is know making excuse for Isrealis violent reaction to an incident that could be solved by negotiating..instead chose war that could lead to what I'm afraid will be World war 3. :roll:

Your arguments would have more validity if
1. You stuck to the topic (Zidane is a different story).
2. Were consistent - you're saying Zidane's overreaction is acceptable but Israel's is not?
3. Made sense (Iran/Afghan comparison sounds like nonsense. You say you're surprised at "lack of coweredness" of other Arab countries - it doesn't sound like you are).
4. Did not make inaccurate generalisations...
America did not congratulate Israel.
Israel is not immune from guilt - Israel has at times punished their own soldiers for killing civilians (not that I expect it will happen with these events).
You're still focused on blaming Israel. For hundreds of years both sides have been claiming it's the other side's fault and they started it. When will the two sides ever focus on trying to find a workable solution? Hizbullah's solution involves destroying Israel and you're supporting that? It's hardly a realistic proposition, irrespective of the rightness or wrongness of it.
The Lebanese were focused on trying to get their country to work after years of turmoil, and this episode will be a major setback for them. That's why I feel so sad for them.
Seems to me like somebody is using Hizbullah to prevent Lebanon from moving forward, and perhaps try and stir up a regional conflict.

The whole thing is totally messed up! Israel have totally overeacted to the situation. However Hezbollah are certainly not innocent in this, many of the news reports say that they've counted on Israel's overaction to deliberately destroy Lebanon, these people are a total menace as well. Also what the hect are the Lebanese doing to defend themselves? Nothing, as per usual! And what are their Arab brothers doing to help them? Nothing, as per usual! For god's sake why can't these guys get it together , it's pathetic!

Israel's military says four servicemen are missing after one of its vessels off the Lebanese coast was struck by a missile fired by Hezbollah militants.

And what about the prisoners that Israel is holding? The whole thing is whack, and Lebanon is bearing the brunt, awful - I love that place.

just some quick points for those of you who want to know more about the history of the conflict... 1. Israel has occupied a number of Arab territories since 1967, pursuing an illegal colonial project thereon comprising, but not limited to, expropriating land, building settlements, and transferring its civilian population. These lands include the Palestinian West Bank, the Syrian Golan Heights, and the Lebanese Shebaa Farms. 2. Israel occupied Lebanon for 22 years (excluding the occupation of Shebaa Farms, which continues to this day). During this period, Israel massacred civilian populations, such as the 1996 bombardment of the United Nations compound in Qana; targetted Lebanon's infrastructure, including power plants and highways; and raised a proxy army, the South Lebanese Army, helping it administer the notorious Khiam prison where hundreds of Lebanese were tortured and imprisoned for years without charge. 3. During its occupation of Lebanon, Israel detained hundreds of Lebanese, often times by crossing over the border and abducting them. To this day, Israel continues to detain a number of Lebanese. 4. Israel regularly invades Lebanon by flying over its airspace, coupled with sonic boom attacks over civilian populations. 5. Though Israel departed from southern Lebanon in 2000, they left over 130,000 land mines which have killed and injured countless children. Israel refuses to disclose the location of these mines. 6. Israel hosts one of Lebanon's most wanted fugitives, the ceritified war criminal Antoine Lahad. Lahad led Israel's proxy army in southern Lebanon, the South Lebanese Army. Lahad currently resides in Tel Aviv, where he runs a restaurant and complains of poor treatment by Israel. 7. The Lebanese government has done nothing of substance to secure the release of Lebanese prisoners, the liberation of Shebaa Farms, a halt to the Israeli Air Force's frequent incursions, and a map of Israel's land mines. 8. Lebanese militias have succeeded in the past, most recently in 2004, to obtain the release of Lebanese nationals in Israeli custody through prisoner exchanges.

Thanks for that .... what I dont understand yet is how did the Israeli's get there? Are they actually people from the region or did they all just move in one day put up some borders and say welcome to Israel?

Go read the Bible and look into WW2 history.

Ya Ven ... its 2006 .. get with the program ..
Capturing 3 soldiers is terrorism
Bombing civilians and associated infrastructure is self defense

What is really sad is how the media, especially CNN projects Israel as defending itself. Even Bush goes on says Israel has the right to defend herself. What about Lebanon and Palestine. Don’t they have the right to defend? No, that’s terrorism?
How long can you fool people by saying this?
Its Hezbullah and Hamas that are defending themselves with whatever leverage they have left. I consider them as common people defending their freedom from Israeli aggression. They don’t have tanks, warships and planes, but they have courage and will!
You call them terrorists; I call it rebellion for freedom.
Peace be upon the 64 innocent killed in Lebanon
