Next step: Syria attacks the Bekaa.

There are many of us Aussies supporting you, I and others are putting up the good fight at the Herald Sun on Andrew Bolt’s blog against the delusional ‘all wars are wrong and let’s sit down, have a cup of tea, and see why they don’t like us’ crowd.

Just a little bit, not much help to those of you in the thick of it, but I hope to helps to know

This isn’t a laughing matter but I couldn’t help chuckling when I read this…*sigh* so true…

You are doing an incredible job with up to the minute updates! You are amazing Dave!

In a nutshell, the arabs were happy for Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc to be created as independent nations; they just couldn’t accept a Jewish nation where ANY arabs would be under the rule of the Jews.

Then look at the UN resolutions – who agreed, giving up land in order to live in peace, and who walked away from them. Hint, the Jews have agreed. Then look at the wars/conflicts that started after the resolutions, started by whom.

Then, if you’ve looked into the history with objective eyes, the answers to your questions will become obvious.

MSM & Missle counts. Numbers sell. Big numbers are sexy. The number of Hizbollah rockets far outnumbers the number of Israel air raids. This is also overlooking the fact that the Israel air raids target the launch sites, vs. the Hizbollah rockets targetting only civilian populated areas.

No pictures of launch pads. There is no such thing. Katyusha rockets are launched from a mobile vehicle. Without knowing situations on the ground, either the vehicles escape before the raid, or are buried in the rubble. That’s also ignoring the fact that you get more shock value out of holding up a dead baby vs. a destroyed truck.

The airstrikes against the airport and power plant are typical of any war campaign, and have to do with cutting off critical infrastructure in an effort to weaken the enemy’s fighting strength in the overall conflict. This does not require rocket lanuchers being present at the airport or power plant. Both are legitimate military targets.

The right to defend statement deserves no debate. All countries have this right.

Why doesn’t Israel have to answer to the IAEA? That’s a very easy question to answer. Israel never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It is through this treaty that gives the IAEA the power to impose sanctions against the 180 signing countries. Iran signed that treaty. Look it up.

There’s no point in debating you on moral authority when you can’t tell the difference between deliberately targeting civilians, and targeting legitimate military targets. If you don’t understand that, there’s no point arguing with you about it.

Ahh yes .. the “right” of Palestine to exist … Go to google and search for Camp David. Oh … and while you’re doing research, find me one map with Palestine on it. Just one. Find me any piece of evidence that Palestine has ever been recognized as a sovereign nation. I can show you evidence of Israel being declared sovereign …

Good questions, with easy answers. Do a bit of research, and you may be surprised what this issue looks like from both sides.
