Yes my mind is rotting away due to the mass media. Someone Help me!

- I'm glad Israel did not negotiate, if they did, these types of attacks would have happend in the future.

See... brewcoke... as far as I can tell, Israel's policy to use bombs to "negotiate" is in no way shape or form going to prevent future attacks EITHER.

At BEST perhaps a status quo will remain. At worst, the legacy of this conflict will strengthen anti-Israeli sentiment for years to come.

So even if you think negotiating wouldn't prevent future attacks, if we reason that this campaign of violence and destruction won't prevent them either, then why not choose the route that does not involve dead civillians?

good attempt at rationalizing the lebanese deaths as 'just a thing that happens in a war'. Israel is responsible for these deaths because it did not need to carpet bomb southern lebanon. Israel is no better than the terrorists.

I remember being 5 years old and seeing Lebanese burning on the tv screen.

The whole situation is so tragic.

You can start making comments like these when you become Defence Minister for a country. until then shut up with those comments, Mr Expert on Everything.

How dare you make comments like that? I mean really. What nerve.

I'm probably wasting my breath on you, but I'll explain anyway.

Group A: Defense Minister of a country is like the management team of a company.

Group B: Jews, Sympathizers, and People who generally are concerned about the longevity of the Jewish people in the region are sort of like the shareholders of a company.

Are you suggesting that shareholders don't have the right to question the management team's opinion on the way to maximize the value of their shares?

Often times, shareholders take the long-term view, while management takes the short term view.

Short Term View: Kill LEbanese because it will get me elected next year and I don't look like I'm 'backing down'.

Long Term View: If I want long-term peace, there needs to be some sort of compromise and compromise starts with dialogue not with demonizing the other side and bombing innocent civilians and being a STATE terrorist.


I consider myself to be someone in Group B.

I don't need to be the 'defense minister' of any country to understand that killing innocent civilians is a bad way to build consensus and enact ever lasting peace.

But I'm glad with what you've started - maybe we can just patently ignore all your 'opinions' because you have no education and you're not worldly? That would make things easier for sure.

youre acting like some wannabe juror who is staying at home only reading the newspaper reports of a trial.

we both know that you dont have all the facts, so dont act like you do.


making comments like the one i bolded only illuminates your ignorance.

^ may I also add to that equation:

Blindly trusting leaders = blind patriotism = SHEEP = mental retardation.

Israel is not bent on killing innocents, it is only bent on killing Hezbollah no matter how many innocent people die.

There, that makes it so much better for the families of the dead

From another report;

"As for those Iranian-supplied rockets, which the terrorists rain indiscriminately onto Israeli towns and villages like Kiryat Shemona, many of them contain ball bearings specifically designed to kill Israeli civilians. "

many of them contain ball bearings specifically designed to kill Israeli civilians.

Yes and we all know US-supplied Israeli bombs ARE NOT and I repeat ARE NOT designed to kill civilians.

umm no. That was Mississippi Burning, not lebanese burning

oh shut up Phoenix.
It was Beirut and it was a body.
