Perhaps we saw Hizbullah attacking Israel and Israel reacting, whereas they, coming from the future and living towards the past, saw the Israeli reaction first and then perceived Hizbullah's actions as a Lebanese reaction to Israel's attack? In that case Israel's war of independence would have been (will be) an Arab reaction to Israel's behaviour towards Arabs after (before) that war, when Israel clearly treated most Arabs as enemies. Nasser will also nationalise the Suez canal as a reaction to Israel's, France's, and the UK's aggression against Egypt. Both Intifadas were reactions to Israel's military actions against innocent civilians (who, after all, didn't become terrorists until after the military actions). And whenever the Americans kill a bunch of terrorists in Iraq, what these people perceive is that fighting in Iraq creates more terrorists. It is weird, but many liberal positions suddenly make sense when you look at the world backwards. Off-topic but really weird: a Democratic legislator from Virginia wants the Queen of England to apologise for slavery. A legislator from _Virginia_, a _Democrat_, wants the Queen of the country that fought wars to force other countries to abolish slavery, to apologise for slavery. A member of the party responsible for the crime committed, legally, in the state where he was elected, wants the Queen of a state that tried to stop the crime to apologise for the crime. It's weird. It's really weird. At least that is what I read somewhere. Or perhaps they perceive the time line the other way around?

When Arab nationalists attack Israel from Gaza, we hear of the "Israeli aggression in Gaza" and when a Lebanese militia attacks Israel, the Lebanese president wonders whether he can expect "another" Israeli attack on Lebanon or Syria. It never ever occurs to these people that if they just stop attacking Israel, all those "Israeli attacks" and all the "Israeli aggression" wouldn't happen. “When asked about the odds of another Israeli attack on Lebanon or Syria [...]”
