Funny, Hezbollah attacks Israel, and Syria backs Hezbollah, yet the U.S. is more culpable than Hezbollah and Syria. Of course, that is an AlJazeera poll. But Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if it were taken anywhere in the West.

Hezbollah's attack didn't happen in a vacuum.

Some guys in the Gaza kidnap a couple of IDF guys.

Some Hexbollah guys kidnap and kill some IDF guys.

This rapid supply mission was critical to Israel's ability to recover from early losses in the war, and the operation is sometimes called "the airlift that saved Israel."

So, as even you state, Israel is attacked, defends itself, and is attacked AGAIN, from another direction, by another group, so Israel and the U.S. are seen to be at fault more than the attackers.

Thank you for FURTHER illustrating my point, as clearly as I ever could.

Jesus H Christ.

Lebanon has allowed a private army, funded by Iran and getting support from Syria to operate along its southern border with Israel.

They mount terror attacks and other operations against Isreal with no interference fom Lebanon.

So ya, Isreal is going to hit back. No kidding.

I can just imagine some other country in N. America or Europe being attacked like that from across a border and being told "gee, its not our fault" as a response. I wonder how that would fly if Arizona started getting rockets fired at it from Mexico, and the Mexicans said "gee wiz, sorry, we just cant control them".

???

Either Lebanon deals with Hezbollah, or Israel will, makes sense to me.

Israeli Response:
*Goldstein's actions were immediately condemned by the Israeli government and the populace in general.
 
*Spokespeople for all of the organized denominations of Judaism denounced his act as immoral.
 
*The Kahane Chai party, to which Goldstein belonged, was outlawed by the Knesset.
 
*The cabinet agreed to take away the weapons of right-wing extremists and put them in administrative detention.
 
*The victims of the shooting received financial compensation from the Israeli government.[/b]

Yes, while it was a massacre, the reaction by Israel was a far cry from anything the militant Islams have done.

It's sick, they put their own innocents in peril just to make Israel look bad on the international stage.  And it looks like everyone's falling for it once again.


yep, but for some reason, you never really hear or read it reported that way ..
what I don't follow is the reporting that so many dead are civilians.. how do they know? besides the way too young (maybe < 12) and the way too old, do some have "Terrorist" tattooed on their forehead and the others don't?

The difference in the way Israelis fight and the terrorists is:
Collateran damage vs maximum civilian killings.

Been so for a looong time.

If you ponder on why the US have a little bit of a cold attitude vs Palestine, bear in mind that the people of Palestine were the first to rush out and burn the U.S. flag on 9/11
