How come israel is justified in killing hundreds of people to get 2 soldiers back captured in war but Hezbollah isn't justified when it captures two people and kills 8 to get back hundreds of people israel is hoding?
Very good point. Also, why is Israel allowed to bomb a country who's government has done NOTHING to them. I'm sure if some crazy from Canada shot a rocket into America and kidnapped an American serviceman that America would ask CANADA to fix it. America would not go about destroying Canada?s entire infrastructure.
BTW the Lebanese Government is Democratically elected, and from what I hear was at one point sympathetic to the Israeli plight, but now they have said basically if you invade we will join Hezbollah in defending our country.
How do we know our country is supporting the right country. I know our country currently support Israel in pretty much everything we do. Should we be supporting lebanon in this conflict?
Later on in the thread you marvel at the relatively low casualties, and then assume that the Lebanese see it your way and aren't polarized against Israel. The way I see it, even one unjust death is one too many when you're intent is to bring the other side to your point of view, in this case that they should be a party to the removal of Hizballah. To the Lebanese mind's eye, which now lives in constant terror of being blown to bits, or perhaps now has a death of a loved one or acquaintance or countrymen to contend with as well as the destruction of their country, Israel is now the enemy and they will rally around those who fight the enemy. That goes doubly so for Southern Lebanon, which is essentially a Hizballah proto-state. See Algiers, Vietnam, Lebanon, Iraq, for how this sort of situation tends to play out. This Israeli incursion will only strengthen support for Hizballah and seal the determination of the Lebanese people against Israel.
Hisballah will protect those two soldiers at all costs. Barring an accident, they'll still be there when Israel gets tired of its pointless war and comes around.
I want to know who the morons are that said Hezbollah had a right to abduct the Israeli soldiers. You people are very, very sick.

I don't think Israel should exist as a "Jewish" state. Theocracy is a bad idea all around. I know I'm probably reading too much into that...
No, Israel's government is far more religious. It has specific religious laws, practices, and discrimination.
If the Canadian government was essentially allowing a group that had 20% control of the government to launch rocket attacks in the US, the US would invade and conquer Canada in 30 minutes.
Excellent point. Lets also not forget the countless murders by Israel such as the 8 innocent dead on the beach before this violence broke out. Double standards and hypocrisy rife amongst people. Call both IDF and Hezbollah terrorist outfits or give both the right to fight for protection.
I don't think that people usually call governments and such 'terrorists'. I don't think most people refer to, say, most of the Middle Eastern governments as 'terrorists' even though they are all mostly bad. In addition, people also seem to refer to deliberately targetting civilians.
This is the dumbest post I have read on here since the last time I said "this is the dumbest post I have read on here." Which was awhile back.
I'm not saying they don't, but what are they?
From what I've read, Israel is a democratic republic, and has a kind of constitution that is decidedly non-religious.

Started to vote, but after 2 decided to scew it(takes too long between each submit).
1) Umm, well that's the wrong question. Attack Lebanon, No. Attack Hezzbolah, thus attack targets within Lebanon, Yes.
2) No
3) Too much. Not that hey are too harsh on Hezzbolah, but they are being too harsh on Lebanon.
4) Probably
5) It already is. It's involvement should be different than what it is though.
6) sure
7) F*** no
8) Anyone seriously considering it should be locked in a padded cell

How about that a person with a specific religion can come to the country easily just because of his religion?
Hell, they have a religious symbol on their flag.
Heh, yeap that sure is dumb. The support Hezbollah got from Iran is nothing like the support Israel got from the US.
US sold Israel 98 F-15 and 237 F-16 for example, between 1994 and 2001. Iran gave Hezbollah what, couple of hundred low quality rocket launchers that can't even shoot straight?
If that's all you have, that is very sad for you. Consider that Judaism is as much a culture and a heritage as a religion, and you'll understand why the only country that has that culture predominantly puts its symbol on its flag.
And the Jewish star is in no way as important to the Jewish religion as the Christian cross was. They are not comparable symbols, and the Star of David is much more a cultural symbol than anything.
first you would have to get hezballa to quit hiding among women and children and come out and fight like men.
But it will never happen. So to deal with the problem there will be civilian deaths, all that Isreal can do is try and minimize them and they have done that.
Which is why I mention double standards and hypocrisy. What do you mean by deliberately targetting civilians? Something in the lines of bombing ambulances? Hospitals? Densely populated civilians areas of Beirut? How many non-civilians are present in here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/p...dle_east_beirut_destruction/html/1.stm How in the world can any rocket be fired from Beirut into Israel?
