Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
As the news reports, Israel in response to Hezbollah attacks on Israeli soil has attacked not only Hezbollah positions, but also the Beirut international airport. Of course Lebanon is protesting mightlily and spouting threats of retaliation that it can't back up.
Lebanon purports to be a sovereign country, and of course only recently has rid itself of Syrian troops. But it cannot maintain that Israel's attacks are wrong when it fails to act against Hezbollah itself. When Israel invaded in 1982 it was during the middle of the Lebanese civil war when there wasn't an effective central government. But now there is. So that means they are responsible for attacks launched from their soil. If they tacitly support such attacks on Israel, then of course they have to expect to pay the price. But even if they don't, it is their responsibility to deal with stopping those attacks and if they are unable or unwilling, then again they have to expect Israeli reprisals. And that is going to include the logistical pipeline Hezbollah uses which includes the airport. So either Lebanon needs to take responsiblity if it supports the Hezbollah attacks on Israel, or take action against Hezbollah itself to stop them. And if it lacks the military means to do so, then then Israel is going to do it for them, with more loss of civilian lives than if the Lebanese government took responsiblity for setting its own house in order. |

Re: Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
And the Jews can do it. The Jewish Mafia has been able to maintain a strong foothold in the diamond, publishing & media industries in the U.S., while remaining under the radar.
The only time I can remember the Jewish Mafia being portrayed on T.V., is in the weekly show Hill Street Blues, and then, they were just one of several different gangs assembled at the station house and had no lines. Just two Jews, sitting amongst the Irish, Italian, Puerto Rican Mobs. All we need to do, is fail to support Israel 100% and the Jewish Mob in the U.S. can rain havoc in the U.S. unlike any terrorist organization. |

Re: Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
Howard,
It should be obvious by now that AC believes that peace is dependant upon letting Israel be destroyed and upon no country or group opposing Moslem attempts to impose Shari'a on non-Moslems. So let the radical Moslems have their way in everything and peace will envelop the world. |

Somehow he thinks that the only thing muslims have on their minds are the Palestinians and that if not for that issue than they'd be just fine with everybody. Anyway, of the posters with whom I disagree on this topic, I sort of like the guy. He's grown on me. I'd buy him a premium beer if we ever meet. And a shot of Patron. (I think Cyrus's 'who would you have a beer with' thread should've been left up). |

The reason behind the insanity
[ QUOTE ]
If the United States did not support Israel in the slightest degree would that stop: The Islamic terrorists in the Phillipines? or The Islamic terrorists in Thailand? or The Islamic terrorists in India? [/ QUOTE ]It's actually very simple. One day around the late 1960s, there was a seriously damaged quantity of <font color="brown"> falafel </font> which contained a virus. Millions of muslims ate the falafel and were affected for life. The poison worked its way around the muslim world - see, for no apparent reason, that virus was only affecting muslims. What the rotten falafel did was it caused muslims and especially Arabs to hate the United States' guts. Until, as we all know, around the early 2000s, when the muslims became REALLY poisoned by the falafel vitus, and started blowing themselves up - in crowded places and airplanes. The craziness of the muslims, and specially the Arabs, is only because of that mysterious poison in the damn falafel. It's got NOTHING to do with Israel -which minds its own business for the last sixty years- or the United States -which keeps its nose out of the Middle East and has always been a fair and neutral party to any conflicts there. |

Why can Israel not protect itself? Why does Israel not have right to its own land? Granted, they took that land back in the '40s but it was the same land that was orignally theirs thousands of years ago. Israel has been more than generous in the attempt to gain peace. They have given up the West Bank and the Palestinians agreed to give them peace for that. Can you imagine the U.S. giving up Florida to an enemy and then we got attacked yet again? Would we stand for it? Hell no! Israel will not give up their country and their sovereignty. People need to forget about this option. People also need to forget about the U.S. being uninvolved in this conflict. We have been in this conflict since Day 1 and there is no way we can extract ourselves from it now. |

I haven't ever ignored anyone here. |
