Just as the IDF’s first occupation of lebanon birthed Hezbollah, this current operation is likely to do more of the same. So far the ratio of civilians to terrorists killed has been about 30 to 1 (300+ civilians and 10+ confirmed terrorists). I can guess where the support of the families of those killed is going to lie, and its clearly not with Israel.

Israel obviously needs to change its gameplan for dealing with terrorist attacks, because the current one is not working. They will never be able to kill every member of every organization that wants their demise, its simply impossible. Trying to do so with an air campaign that causes immense collateral damage benefits nobody. Terrorists get their civilian deaths to use as recruitment posters, and Israel gains no additional security.

Anyone who reads this website, feel free to give me any evidence that Israel will be better off after this campaign than before.

what a joke. After Israel invansion of Lebonan and killed hundreds of civilian, and while hizbullah try to protect their village, and killed some israelis, you came out with this staement.

Chease fire. Be fair to people of palestine. Its their land that you accopied and without giving them anything. Just because your big brother vetoed everybody., doesnt make you are legally right.

As long as Zionist movement poison the fair and ordinary israelis, everybody will be in fear.

Cease fire and ” sholom “

I applaud your opposition to Hezbollah, and I appreciate your support for Israel’s cause, if not its means. My concern is this. If you oppose military action that results in civilian deaths, you guarantee victory for terrorist groups that will use civilian shields. Hans, I respect your opinions and there is no good answer to this terrible dilemma.

You bring in everybody on this; Syria, Lebanon, Chavez (not in Argentinia, but Venezuala..). I am aware of the oppostion in the world towards the US and of the connection between Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, but what does that have to do with the Israeli’s bombing Lebanese civilians? Unless you want to increase the hatred for Israel in the (Arab) world, this bombing campaign is stupid at the least and perhaps even criminal. I think you hate Arabs and muslims in general and you don’t mind if they’re killed. In fact you like that. That’s why you’re reacting the way you do. You don’t want a constructive outcome of this current crisis. You just want to see blood. I pity you!

In the meantime, they have successfully diverted attention away from the Iranian nuclear crisis and somehow Russia has decided to delay a ban on Iran to stop enrichment. Not only that, you’ve got North Korea together with Iran with an axe to grind and Chavez in Argentina who loves his Irannian buddy and just accepted 1 billion dollars of fighter jets from Russia. So lets sit back and smoke a peace pipe together with these terrorists. I guess once we wipe the only country fighting extremism in the middle east off the map there will be no more problems left. Oh yeah, except for western civilization and the free world.
