RuntheDamnBall Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 They had plenty of time before the bombing started to get them out, correct? How many years were they in southern Lebanon? 728655[/snapback] That wasn't my point. My response was to wacka's "time for them to stand up for themselves." It can't, right now, be time, precisely due to the current situation.

GG Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 In this case, the Hizbollah rocket attacks were a response to the Israeli bombing of Lebanese infrastructure. Hizbollah warned that if the Israelis resorted to bombing the infrastructure of Lebanon that they would respond by rocket attacks on Israeli cities. Doesn't make it right, but the popular perception that Hizbollah suddenly started attacking Israeli civilian targets and then Israel responded by bombing Lebanon is simply wrong. Hizbollah attacked a purely military target and captured 2 Israeli soldiers. Israel then responded by bombing the hell out of Lebanon, killing hundreds of Lebanese civilians in the process. 728639[/snapback] A merely coincidental attack on a Israeli military post, relative to what was happening in Gaza.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Forgive me, I don't ususally read the news, but didn't this latest flare-up originate with Lebanon types kidnapping some Isreali types? 728659[/snapback] Well...yes, and no. You see, Hizb'Allah - who are not really Lebanese, even though they're a leading party in Lebanon's democratically-based parlimentary system - kidnapped Israeli soldiers, on Israel's side of the border. So it's obviously Israel's fault. On a side note, I'd just like to add a message for Hizb'Allah: Stop launching rockets and return the friggin' soldiers already!!! What the !@#$ is wrong with you???

chicot Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 THEY'RE CRIMINAL TERRORISTS!! They are members of Hamas or Hizbollah. 728672[/snapback] Say they resisted the occupation of Lebanon and fought against Israeli soldiers on the Lebanese side of the border, does that make them terrorists?
RuntheDamnBall Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 I'm going to close this thread as none of this was really the point. There is plenty of space to argue about the conflict in other threads.
