Default Re: how israel reacts to attacks

Israel is the one country that has had to protect itself continuously for years. They have done this only through their disproportionate strategy. They scary thing about the Middle East is that if Israel is ever hit with a WMD, expect full nuclear retaliation. The major problem at hand is that Israel may respond rationally with a greater force, the initial attack may not be so rational.

This is a game those supporting Israel's actions cannot win: The anti-zionists simply keep labeling attacks on terrorist havens as "civilian targets".

i[f] lebanon comes out with a blanket statement that they recognize israel to exist and will do what they can to control the situation. that and only maybe that will give them credibility as being the owner of all of lebanon.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please explain how Lebanon recognizing Israel's "right to exist" gives Lebanon "credibility as owner of all the country".

[/ QUOTE ]

Why did you ignore the more important part of his statement..."will do what they can to control the situation"? (Implied of course is that there is anything they CAN do to control the situation. If they cant they have no hope of credibility, other than to ask for assistance in fighting Hezbollah themselves.

Are you seriously suggesting that Israel is attacking only such "locations"? Entire houses have been hit with strictly civilian families living in them!

[/ QUOTE ]

So, you are convinced that Israel is indeed targeting civilian housing in areas where they are well aware there are no strategic Hezbollah targets?

cyrus, if the lebanese govt. says israel has a right to exist then it shows it is not run by terrorists to the world and it gives it the credibility of a country trying to coexist. by not saying that and not actively trying to stop the attacks from hisballa, they are looking like a govt. that has no credibility and cannot control actions within its own borders. also it makes it clear to me at least that hisballa owns and runs the southern part. and by not at least trying to control the situation they cannot have credibility as the govt. that controls the country.
they could stand up and ask for u.n. troops or even another close by country to assist in regaining control. then the world sees them as moving in the right direction. instead of just trying to survive by not upsetting its people.
