Israel Vs. The Middle East - Page 6

Another answer is that Hezbollah is locating the rockets between apartment buildings and homes. They are forcing Lebanese Christians to stay in those areas, using them as human shields. They are launching attacks from locations near UN and other internationally important locations. All of these things are to cause publicity problems for the Israelis and hide the launchers.

I also find it interesting how many people are condemning Israel for its "disproportional" response to the violence, but refuse to condemn Hezbollah for STARTING the violence.

Is Bush Testing The Limits of His Allies?

In this conflict which is about Israel vs the rest of the Middle East one always knows that the rest of the world will be involved for one MAIN reason alone in my opinion: the religious significance of the location. Yes, we can say 'oil', but there is more to the region than oil, plus there are bigger countries with the stuff. So in the end this seems to be indirectly a religious war where Islam and Christianity battle it out with the Jews for turf. It has been this way for centuries and nothing has changed - has it?

With regards to the attack on Lebanon by Israel - I would do the same. They have openly decided to tease Israel for years, now that they have awoken the giant they want to claim that Israel is taking advantage - bologna! I say get in there - root them out - make them pay and then get out as fast as possible.

Another thing to note here about the Middle East - they claim one agreement (Islamic countries) and that is they really do not want Israel in the region, BUT despite all their threats no one is openly lending a hand in the current war - what's the matter - afraid?

Wow Mr. Borde, you are on a roll with this one. There is an old saying, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun." In this case, only mad men and complete idiots kidnap Israeli soldiers and fire unguided rockets at Israel. I have long admired the Israeli military when the United States gets out of their way. This war has been going on for 4000 years and will not end until one side, or the other wipes the opposing side off the face of the earth. This holy war was started when the God of the Jews led them to the Jordan river and told them to cross the river, kill men, women, and children, bring me the gold and silver, and you can have the land I promised to give you. People killing people in the name of religion for 4000 years.

My being on a 'roll' has to do with the amazement in which the world seems empathetic towards Hezbollah. Now, many will say that they are concerned with the innocent being bombed - fine, I agree that there may casualties, but this is something they have brought upon themselves by choosing to support Hezbollah rather than root them out. As far as I am concerned Hezbollah is a Lebanon government funded militia therefore an attack from them is an attack from Lebanon as a nation.

Robert Fisk: This draft shows who is running America's policy... Israel

So the great and the good on the East River laboured at the United Nations Security Council - and brought forth a lemon. You could almost hear the Lebanese groan at this draft resolution, a document of such bias and mendacity that a close Lebanese friend read carefully through it yesterday, cursed and uttered the immortal question: "Don't these bastards learn anything from history?"

Read this first and then what I have to say:

Here are a number of things that are bothering me about this news clip:

1. Why doesn't the proposal say the Lebanese army would attack Hezbollah? Possibly the reason is the same as I said previously: they are one and the same.

2. How will the Lebanese army stop a rocket being fired from the north to the south? Maybe they plan to catch it in mid air or have a Star Wars program of their own?

3. Where is the Lebanese army now? Israel has crossed the borders, one would think they would begin defending rather than allowing Israel to have their way, BUT they are too scared? Not too scared to fend off Hezbollah though, right? .
