As a Jewish American, we must extricate ourselves from Israel. We have allowed Israel to get away with murder and atrocities for decades, and this must stop now. The world sees us as a Zionist puppet, AND WE ARE! Israelis have been caught spying on this nation, AND THEY STILL ARE! Bush has taken on a pro-Israel agenda, and the U.S. needs someone in the Whitehouse that will hold Israel accountable and not take "orders" from AIPAC and other Zionist lobbyists.
This kind of news is what you won't see in US media. They don't respect muslim lives. But if someone kill Israel occupation soldier they will make it headline. how ironic
We are ALL collateral damage. One cannot feel sorrow for the people who have suffered from 9/11 and not feel sorrow for Palestinian refugees and their plight. We have been trained to ignore the Palestinian issue and always stand with th Zionist government in Tel Aviv. I challege the people of conscience to really question why that is.
nevertheless, I am an optimist and I do believe that peace can be gathered in the MD. I am quite impressed with the Palestineans and I quite admire them for being some of the most progressive and moderate people in the Middle East. yes, in time they ll get their own nation. And those crazy settlers r gonna hv to leave. But i must warn u, it would take generations to heal the wounds. In fact i like Palestineans a lot more that those crazy Wahabi Saudis.
I agree with you on that. Wahabis and their beliefs are dangerous not only to the Western World but to Islam as well. Many Muslim scholars have said Wahabis are not even Muslim because they teach wrong things about the religion. And wahabis are not only found in Saudi, sadly they Saudis have funded centers worldwide.
actually, not all Israelis r of European descedence. Many came from the nearly 1 million Jews kicked out of Arab countries such as Tunisia, Libya, Moroco, Kuwait, Iraq and even Saudi Arabia and Iran after the war of 1948 and hd all their property confiscaded.
Plus, the most outrageous fact is the way in which Palestineans hv been treated by their own Arab neibouring brothers. Many of them after living in these countries for more than 60 years still dont hv citizenship or r treated as second class citizens. Not to mention the much forgoten fact that in 1948 nearly 1 million Jews were kicked out of Arab countries and hd their property conficated by these states.
I will agree with you on that fact, sadly many Palestinians are still living in refugee camps in neigboring Arab nations. But I must ask, why and who put them in that situation. With the birth of a new nation [Israel] we have come to see the death of another. How can any honestly deny the atrocities being commited against the Palestinians. Even Arab citizens of Israel suffer from discrimination.
Isaeli Arab citizens hv more rights than most Palestineans in other Arab countries, in fact there r a few even in the Cabinet and the Kenesset. But u still havn't answer my question, if i am an Israeli and I am at war with u. Why should i hv mercy upon u? For what reason other than humanist idealism. And Idealism is for people who write books and teach classes. Realism is for people who run nations and make history. And the History of reality is cruel and merciless.
im not sure there is answer: do you realize that these Israelis are actually moslty Europeans. They wanted to create a state where they would not be persecuted. They claimed "Never Again." How could these same people forget the harm done to them and harm other people.
Sadly battles are not fought honorable anymore. They used to be fought on battle fields where both sides had the same advantages. Now the oppressor claims to be the oppressed.
Saudi Arabia is the country that i least understand in the MD. They play with two sticks on two different fields. Yet, i should tell u that much of the gas and fuel used in Israeli and American tanks and planes comes from Saudi Arabia. Another thing i don't understand its the anymosity between Shias and Sunnis that leads them to such horrific violence.
Propoganda, it's a sad thing. They don't attack Sweden or Norway because they aren't in the middle east and are therefore, out of reach. Besides, they don't have another excuse for it.
I don't understand why do Arabs fell that the Israelis should feel have mercy on them when they go to war. To go to war is a decision of life and death for soldiers, civilians and nations even to the point of anihalation. U need to think about the consequences. If i was an Israeli why should I hv mercy for Arabs when they want to kill my own. Would Arabs hv mercy on them hd they won the 1948, 67, 73 wars? U lucky they took it easy on u. Arab raiders in Darfur aren't on black Africans.
The reistance fighters in Lebanon mostly killed Israeli soldiers [nearly 200] yet the Israeli army murdered nearly 2,000 innocent Lebanese civilians and injured hundreds more. Israel has one of the worlds most funded defense programs yet they killed mostly innocents.... doesnt that seem odd to you?
the question is, why should they care? Would Hezbolla care if they killed Israelis civilians? Here is the oldest rule in the game of war. When u go to war against me, I hv the right to wipe u, your women and your children out. Thats why in WWII Allied bombers intentionally bombed German citizens and the Germans did it vice versa. That is why bf u go to war, u better think twice. If Arabs learn that concept they can stop whining about it or avoid war all together.
can u honestly say that Hezbolla fighters did not target civilians with a clear coincience? I wouldn't expect u to be so naive. The fact is that Israel dropped a lot of fire power in Lebanon and if all that would be targeted to civilians, there would be hundreds of thousands death. Now when u fire a Katusha rocket with pieces of sharpnel into a highly populated area u can't possible say that it was to hit soldiers only
you can't help it when people hate you for not being like them. And Israel doesn't give in or make deals with nations that won't keep agreements, or allows terrorists to use their territory as a base camp and I gotta say I admire that.
as for the west bank settelers, I personally dont support them, but looking at what happened in Gaza after we got the settelers out of there, I dont think that doinf it again is such a great Idea. not for Israel, or for the PLO.
unless you like watching Fatah personal getting tossed out of tall buildings.
whoever the leader is, when he's not elected by the people and is controlled by fanatical mullahs, he cant be trusted with nukes. the Palestinians should be just as worried as we are, because the nuclear fallout wont distinguish between us and them.
If the enemy knows you, they know how to defeat you. A nation needs to have secrets so that the enemy won't know exactly what they're up against, and, therefore, can't prepare itself against the defenses.
as for the "Whiste blower" - the man only did it for the money. he worked in a top security factory for the defence of his country, and then sold its secrets for the highest bidder.
what do you think should be dont if a man sold your county's secrets like that?
Israel aquired nukes back in the early 60's when 3 Egypt, Syria and Jordan were trying to destroy it.
Israel never claimed that Nation X should be wiped off the map, like Iran does, and i controlled by a democratic goverment and not by a madman or a mullah, like Iran. I dont think anyone in the region whould like to see an Iran with nukes, Zionist and Arabs alike.
Hezbullah also had stronger weapons, like rockets with a longer range, but those were destroyed by the IAF in the first day of the war. the most successful weapons for the Hezbullah was the less powerful, plain old 122 or 107mm Grad dumbfire rockets, which they aimed at the Israeli cities and towns.
it seems that they were counting that Israel wont fire at all at the civilians homes, and they will be free the fire at Israel in the cover of their civilians.
Israel gave the Lebenese civilians time to get away north, and then attacked. most did get away (1 million if I remember correctly), and some stayed as human shilds and ammo for the Hezbullah propeganda machine. the results can bee seen in the footage.
the civilians in the south Lebanese villages which were controlled by Hezbullah are supporters of Hezbullah, or members themselfs. they got paid for letting the Hezbullah store ammunition and other equipment in their houses. a bit like rent.
most of Hezbullah's equipment wasnt bought, but given to them by Syria & Iran.
Wiki's articles usually come with links to the resources of where the info was taken from.
but in this case, these things are pretty well known. Hezbullah has a military and a political wing, and their armed wing is probebly the strongest, best traint and equiped gurrilla organization in the world
Thank you to all that replied to my request for info. I am slightly less ignorant, and grateful for the time taken for explaining Hezbollah in Lebanon situation. I'll be sure to share this knowledge with my fellow ignorant fat lazy murderous American pigs. Our corporate/gov/fascist news doesn't give us such details/background.
They started the war in Lebanon...If their leaders can't control a war, expect to get battered. Israel would have been happy to not been in a war but what do they do? Protect themselves...freaking muslims hide behind other muslims---that's called losers and murderers. Hezbullah killed their own people.
in most cases, the civilians from those houses were pays a monthly fee for the use of their house by the Hezbullah.
at the begginig of the war, Israel let the civilians get away and most of them found refuge in the major Lebenese cities. some stayed because they didnt have anywhere to go, or just thought its safer to stay in their basements then go on the road.
the Hezbullah propeganda people showed up first to the area and clamed that there were about 60 civilans killed in there, all civilians.
all the global news networks were quick to report it without checking, even though number was much lower. later on that day, the Israeli Air Force showed a video showing that rockets were fired from that house minutes before it was hit by an airstrike. it didnt have the impact of the dead children photos and all that's remembered is it was "a massacre"...
some say it was staged because the Hezbullah used it and took some fake photos of extra bodybags, and some of them came out really bad and it didnt look very real, but civilians did get killed in there...
too bad the reporter never ask how did it come to this...
i am not condoning hezbollah's actions but you must see that israel was the aggressor. israel occupies palestine, syria(golan), and lebanon( sheeba farms). israel has thousands of prisoners held without charge. and israel broke the ceasefire which was the flame that ignited the summer conflict
all prisoners in Israeli jailed get a trial, a lawyer and visits from the Red Cross. the same can not be said about Israeli prisoners in other countries.
and there never was a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbullah.
and dont forget who started the war. those soldiers didnt kidnap themselfs, you know.
there aer hundreds of innocent Palestinans and Muslims held in Israeli prisons for no reason other than that they are Arabs and Muslims. Please do not attempt to justify the actions of the Zionist government in Tel Aviv. We arent stupid...the world is waking up to its aggressions.
So what? Why is Israel so condemned as when u Look at the Kurds, th Muslim countries of Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran don't give them a homeland, which they hv been asking for centuries. While hypocritically everyone asks for Israel to do it for the Palestineans. And u want talk about Genocide then u talk about what Arabs r doing in Darfur as 200 000 black Africans hv been slaughtered.
Are you being selective when you are talking about liberty and freedom? Is a Palestinian's life and blood worth less than an Israeli's. You are mixing issues, and avoiding the topic at hand. The Palestinians lived on the land they now call Israel less than 70 years ago. That land was taken from them by occupation and now they are dispersed around the world. They exist and they have a right to live in their land of birth and origin.
no, I am not being selective. The fact is that yes, Palestineans r suffering now for not hving a home land. But few in the region can point their fingers of rightenous to Israel, while two Arab countries Syria and Iraq together with Turkey and Iran also refuse to give a homeland to the Kurds who hv also been oppressed for way much longer than Palestineans in that region.
The genocide in Darfur is pathetic....why doesnt the world do anything about that? Why does the West punish innocent Iraqi civilians and do nothing to punish the people who are killing innocents in Sudan? Why does the West play DOUBLE standards? Lets face it the Westen powers only care about oil and monetary profits.
definatly, agree with u there. The situation in Darfur is pathetic and the West is at fault for not doing a thing about it. Second, the war in Iraq was a crime against humanity. If it was for me as an American Bush would hv been impeached long time ago and Dick Cheney would hv been in jail. But one thing for certain, the way that Sunnis and Shias r killing each other is also appalling. And the Arab world fails to address that.
there are so many secretarian groups in the region but hezbollah is the largest and many lebanese trust their group than their government to protect them
thats why hezbollah was the first to give out aid after the war
well if you could just read a history book hezbollah was created because of the israeli invasion in 1982
lebanon has never had a strong army and no one thought israel was going to bomb every airport, road, bridge, and neighborhood because of a two soldier being kidnapped
the kidnapping occured to divert attention from gaza and bring back lebanese prisoners and the gaza crisis started due to the beach blast which broke the ceasefire
not that it have to do with anything, but the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas in Gaza was broken much before of that - when Hamas has a victory parade and one of its rockets fell off a truck, blew up and killed some people, the blamed israel and started firing their rockets at it.
a few days later they admited it was an accident and not Israel.
Al Jazeera should should also show the faces of Israeli children and teens killed by terrorist bombs. Of course their tact has always been to dehumanize the Israelis and Jews. It's a massacre if Palestinians get killed but martyrdom,jihad and dancing in the streets if Israeli civilians get murdered.
lebanon is not powerless to do anything but the problem that the fact is that the west wont arm the lebanese army or allow it to arm from other countrys but yet it allows others with in lebanon hezbollah was a part of lebanon with the full support until they turned thaire back on the lebanese goverment and went to iran and syria and arranged to shut down the city of beirut and the goverment with it because thats what its allies and supportes want thank you
I guess i should feel lucky to get "Israel will pay for it's war crimes!!" on here. If you have answers, please reply. I give up on this particular video forum. And please don't send me any credit offers or training camp brochures.
Okay, Okay. I Googled it. Now, Does the Lebanese army work hand in hand with Hezbollah, or just tolerate them, or pay them to do scary things the Lebanese can't stomach?
the Hezbulla (meaning God's party, I think) is a Terrorist organization in Lebanon, backed by Syria and Iran. it was created the the early 80's, and since then carried out quite a few attacks against Israel targets.
its olso the organization that killed 240 US marines (and some 60 French soldiers) in a suicide truck bombing in Beirut in the early 80's. did some other nasty stuff over the yeats...
No I just looked at the facts By the way I heard your government is paying Zionist/Zionist supporters to skew the information on Internet sites like youtube and Google video I'm just wondering they must be really scared huh? this is what happens when you lose control but freedom of speach will prevail.
Who said anything about me being a Arab ? and by the way the people who "rioting" in the UK were not Arabs they were built up of different nationalities mostly south Asians. I got the information from a friend who said he read the report on Israel today ill try and provide a link By the way how much do the rates go for and hour ? i would love be paid to say good things about israel.
If Grieves won't tell me, will anyone else? Is Hezbollah the Defender of Lebanon? Does Lebanon endorse the presence of Hezbollah? Don't be afraid to answer. Please don't tell me about Israel. I already know their terror is more deadly than all others in the entire universe.
They are kinda. But they make the government nervous. They called for the government to resign. During the conflict many people got behind Hezbollah including Christians. After the Gov started thinking of bringing Hezbollah into the Army.
You have failed to differentiate between Lebanon and Hezbollah. Are you able to do so? Or are you afraid to answer this question, Mr. History? Or instead of answering, you will post more stats and figures showing your evil is somehow more righteous than yours?
I have admitted Israeli fault. I acknowledge their role in the conflict. Hezbollah isn't innocent. The scale on each side doesn't concern me, because Hezbollah would do exactly as Israel does,They just don't have the resources.
And I am calling you a Hypocrite. When You have a different tactic from the Evil People, You can complain about terror. When you do the same thing as they, Your point is lost because you are the same.
i have given you facts that israel has committed a war crimes (civilian bombings of population and infrastructure, cluster bombs, and white phosphorus shells) that is as dangerous as any other terrorist organization. and i have you a history lesson of how the summer conflict started (gaza beach blast)
i am not trying to imitate anybody, you just cant see that the israeli government is as dangerous and more dangerous than other terrorist organizations
Yes. You are a genius to point this out. Israel is more guilty. Terror is terror. You can't point a finger and say "TERRORIST" and try to imitate them. You are just like them, but less effective. Try harder
Hey!!! Does Lebanon have an Army??? Yes, Israel has guilt. Lebanon and Hezbollah and you Recruiters have no right to act innocent. You can say these were civilians, but you have no idea how many Hezbollah were there. Unless you were there, and knew each person.
the gaza crisis started when israel shelled a gaza public beach and killed an entire family except for a little girl. that broke the ceasefire after the 2005 withdrawal and hamas retaliated by kidnapping one soldier. israel responded by destroying the only power plant, flying sonic booms on the hour, and raiding gaza killing innocents on the way
when the facts show that hezbollah killed more soldiers than civilians and israel did the opposite it seems really easy to see who the bigger terrorist is
hezbollah kidnapped those two soldiers to divert attention from the gaza crisis and to negotiate a possible exchange for the people that israel has in its prison
You blaming Zionists sounds exactly like the ignorant Americans blaming Iraq,Saddam, and Islam for the tower attacks. Blame Israel all you want, but to generalize is to be just like BUSH.
I don't think Israel has a right to exist either, but hosting a Criminal Organization and then whining about the results of that choice is beneath any sovereign. Where is Lebanon's army? Do they have one? haven't heard about their Brave campaigns against Israel. Is Hezbollah actually blessed by Lebanon? And labeling Everybody Zionists makes you sound simple and emotional, just like the Hicks in Texas.
They let Hezbollah exist because many people believe Hezbollah is the only true defender of Lebanon and to a point they are right even though they were outnumbered and and had extremely inferior weapons compared to Israel they did put up a good fight and now have become extremely popular among the Lebanese Christan's and Muslims and that's why they let them exist.
"like men"? I am telling you any country should make war in this situation, instead of crying foul. Are they cowards? I consider Personal Bombing warfare also.
Lebanon is to blame for not being capable of its own defense. Any true sovereign nation should make war against Israel for this, not hide behind Hezbollah.
search "palestinian children" on youtube . . .you'll see what the rest of the world is up against. You will be mortified by one palestinian muslim interviewing a 3 YEAR OLD GIRL and they talk about killing themselves for allah, they make racist statements, etc . . . violence won't end until these people stop teaching 3 year olds that if you dont believe that Allah is God, then you deserve to DIE!
I still believe that Hezebollah wanted to test its boundaries and see if a pan arab retaliation could be set in motion. and hezebollah does hide behind women and children --- filthy maggots
Are you telling me the Zionist army in Israel fights "like men"? Yes they certainly fight like men when they massacred tens and tens in Sabra wa Chatila and in their everyday harassment of the Palestinians. And they fight like men when their tanks go up against little children with rocks in their hands. And they fought like men when they ran over an American, Rachel Corrie, and murdered her.
Yea everyone, Al Jazeera is propaganda all those graves are empty in fact they actually buried jews from the holocaust there. Qana doesn't exist aliens control Saudi Arabia George Bush is a hindu.
Al Jazeera thank you for being brave enough and broadbasting this report. We are reminded of Holocaust everyday of our lives. However the Zionists want us to be silent about the deaths and massacres they cause [whether it be in Qana, Sabra wa Chatila, etc].
We will never forget the families of Qana. They were innocent people, how can people say it never happened? Its a very ignorant thing to say.
If only the families weren't used as human shields by the Hezballah fighters, Israel wouldn't have had to attack the area. However, Hezballah fired into civilian areas from civilian areas. Israel had to do something and even warned the people as much as they could. The deaths were Hezballah's fault. Open your eyes.
i learned something from the "israelis"= NEVER TO FORGIVE, NEVER TO FORGET!!
we shall apply it god willing!... beware of a very dark day isra heil!! payback shall happen sooner or later!!

I'll be sure to share this knowledge with my fellow ignorant fat lazy murderous American pigs. Our corporate/gov/fascist news doesn't give us such details/background.

They started the war in Lebanon...If their leaders can't control a war, expect to get battered. Israel would have been happy to not been in a war but what do they do? Protect themselves...freaking muslims hide behind other muslims---that's called losers and murderers. Hezbullah killed their own people.

Where were the men from these families, firing kotyusha rockets beside the building?
patsagainstrats 4 years ago
in most cases, the civilians from those houses were pays a monthly fee for the use of their house by the Hezbullah.
at the begginig of the war, Israel let the civilians get away and most of them found refuge in the major Lebenese cities. some stayed because they didnt have anywhere to go, or just thought its safer to stay in their basements then go on the road.

Was this incident ever fully investigated? I remember some speculation that it may have been staged.
patsagainstrats 4 years ago
the Hezbullah propeganda people showed up first to the area and clamed that there were about 60 civilans killed in there, all civilians.
all the global news networks were quick to report it without checking, even though number was much lower. later on that day, the Israeli Air Force showed a video showing that rockets were fired from that house minutes before it was hit by an airstrike. it didnt have the impact of the dead children photos and all that's remembered is it was "a massacre"...
NimDod 4 years ago
some say it was staged because the Hezbullah used it and took some fake photos of extra bodybags, and some of them came out really bad and it didnt look very real, but civilians did get killed in there...
too bad the reporter never ask how did it come to this...

i am not condoning hezbollah's actions but you must see that israel was the aggressor. israel occupies palestine, syria(golan), and lebanon( sheeba farms). israel has thousands of prisoners held without charge. and israel broke the ceasefire which was the flame that ignited the summer conflict
mrgrieves9876 4 years ago
all prisoners in Israeli jailed get a trial, a lawyer and visits from the Red Cross. the same can not be said about Israeli prisoners in other countries.
and there never was a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbullah.
and dont forget who started the war. those soldiers didnt kidnap themselfs, you know.

there aer hundreds of innocent Palestinans and Muslims held in Israeli prisons for no reason other than that they are Arabs and Muslims. Please do not attempt to justify the actions of the Zionist government in Tel Aviv. We arent stupid...the world is waking up to its aggressions.

So what? Why is Israel so condemned as when u Look at the Kurds, th Muslim countries of Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran don't give them a homeland, which they hv been asking for centuries. While hypocritically everyone asks for Israel to do it for the Palestineans. And u want talk about Genocide then u talk about what Arabs r doing in Darfur as 200 000 black Africans hv been slaughtered.

Are you being selective when you are talking about liberty and freedom? Is a Palestinian's life and blood worth less than an Israeli's. You are mixing issues, and avoiding the topic at hand. The Palestinians lived on the land they now call Israel less than 70 years ago. That land was taken from them by occupation and now they are dispersed around the world. They exist and they have a right to live in their land of birth and origin.
arsalan19872000 4 years ago
no, I am not being selective. The fact is that yes, Palestineans r suffering now for not hving a home land. But few in the region can point their fingers of rightenous to Israel, while two Arab countries Syria and Iraq together with Turkey and Iran also refuse to give a homeland to the Kurds who hv also been oppressed for way much longer than Palestineans in that region.

The genocide in Darfur is pathetic....why doesnt the world do anything about that? Why does the West punish innocent Iraqi civilians and do nothing to punish the people who are killing innocents in Sudan? Why does the West play DOUBLE standards? Lets face it the Westen powers only care about oil and monetary profits.
arsalan19872000 4 years ago
definatly, agree with u there. The situation in Darfur is pathetic and the West is at fault for not doing a thing about it. Second, the war in Iraq was a crime against humanity. If it was for me as an American Bush would hv been impeached long time ago and Dick Cheney would hv been in jail. But one thing for certain, the way that Sunnis and Shias r killing each other is also appalling. And the Arab world fails to address that.

there are so many secretarian groups in the region but hezbollah is the largest and many lebanese trust their group than their government to protect them
thats why hezbollah was the first to give out aid after the war
mrgrieves9876 4 years ago
"If Hezbollah had been COURAGEOUS and HONORABLE, they would NOT HAVE DONE THIS!"
War is not courageous neither is is honorable, human shields are also used by Israely forces.
I always wonder why the hightech Israel Defense Force cannot get rid of a few Katyushas without target bombing the whole country.
Bombur86 4 years ago
well if you could just read a history book hezbollah was created because of the israeli invasion in 1982
lebanon has never had a strong army and no one thought israel was going to bomb every airport, road, bridge, and neighborhood because of a two soldier being kidnapped
the kidnapping occured to divert attention from gaza and bring back lebanese prisoners and the gaza crisis started due to the beach blast which broke the ceasefire
mrgrieves9876 4 years ago
not that it have to do with anything, but the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas in Gaza was broken much before of that - when Hamas has a victory parade and one of its rockets fell off a truck, blew up and killed some people, the blamed israel and started firing their rockets at it.
a few days later they admited it was an accident and not Israel.

Al Jazeera should should also show the faces of Israeli children and teens killed by terrorist bombs. Of course their tact has always been to dehumanize the Israelis and Jews.

lebanon is not powerless to do anything but the problem that the fact is that the west wont arm the lebanese army or allow it to arm from other countrys but yet it allows others with in lebanon hezbollah was a part of lebanon with the full support until they turned thaire back on the lebanese goverment and went to iran and syria and arranged to shut down the city of beirut and the goverment with it because thats what its allies and supportes want thank you

Or is Lebanon Powerless to stop Hezbollah from using their nation as body armor?
greenpinkyellow 4 years ago
you got it, but its a bit more complex:
the Hezbullah has a large political wing with a large support in Lebanon. its military wing is much stronger then the Lebenese army & police.
you can read about it in wikipedia.

Is Hezbollah the same as Lebanon?
greenpinkyellow 4 years ago
the Hezbulla (meaning God's party, I think) is a Terrorist organization in Lebanon, backed by Syria and Iran. it was created the the early 80's, and since then carried out quite a few attacks against Israel targets.
its olso the organization that killed 240 US marines (and some 60 French soldiers) in a suicide truck bombing in Beirut in the early 80's. did some other nasty stuff over the yeats...

i am not trying to imitate anybody, you just cant see that the israeli government is as dangerous and more dangerous than other terrorist organizations

OVER A MILLION CLUSTER BOMBS
i mean hezbollah fired 4000 katuyasha rockets which were like from world war 2
again OVER A MILLION CLUSTER BOMBS fired by israel
it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that israel used terror tactics at a much larger scale than hezbollah
mrgrieves9876 4 years ago
Hey!!! Does Lebanon have an Army??? Yes, Israel has guilt. Lebanon and Hezbollah and you Recruiters have no right to act innocent. You can say these were civilians, but you have no idea how many Hezbollah were there. Unless you were there, and knew each person.
greenpinkyellow 4 years ago
the gaza crisis started when israel shelled a gaza public beach and killed an entire family except for a little girl. that broke the ceasefire after the 2005 withdrawal and hamas retaliated by kidnapping one soldier. israel responded by destroying the only power plant, flying sonic booms on the hour, and raiding gaza killing innocents on the way
mrgrieves9876 4 years ago
when the facts show that hezbollah killed more soldiers than civilians and israel did the opposite it seems really easy to see who the bigger terrorist is
hezbollah kidnapped those two soldiers to divert attention from the gaza crisis and to negotiate a possible exchange for the people that israel has in its prison

I don't think Israel has a right to exist either, but hosting a Criminal Organization and then whining about the results of that choice is beneath any sovereign. Where is Lebanon's army? Do they have one? haven't heard about their Brave campaigns against Israel. Is Hezbollah actually blessed by Lebanon? And labeling Everybody Zionists makes you sound simple and emotional, just like the Hicks in Texas.
greenpinkyellow 4 years ago
They let Hezbollah exist because many people believe Hezbollah is the only true defender of Lebanon and to a point they are right even though they were outnumbered and and had extremely inferior weapons compared to Israel they did put up a good fight and now have become extremely popular among the Lebanese Christan's and Muslims and that's why they let them exist.

was it even possible for the reporter to ask such question or was he under the watching eye of a Hezbullah men during the whole interview?

We will never forget the families of Qana. They were innocent people, how can people say it never happened? Its a very ignorant thing to say.
arsalan19872000 4 years ago
If only the families weren't used as human shields by the Hezballah fighters, Israel wouldn't have had to attack the area. However, Hezballah fired into civilian areas from civilian areas. Israel had to do something and even warned the people as much as they could. The deaths were Hezballah's fault. Open your eyes.
