As Lebanon bleeds: a savage and unwinnable gambit : Comments

By Pierre Tristam, published 17/7/2006

Israel's offensive against Lebanon is an assault justified by the false rhetoric of self-defence.

Keith,

They did, you don't, what gives?

Tell you what if Hizbollah does not see any reason to comply with the laying down of its arms, and the Lebanese Government did not place its army on the Israel/Lebanon border, Israel's obligation to maintain compliance with UN425 is over. Israel exchanged all of Southern Lebanon for those two conditions, and is certified by the UN to have done so entirely.

Israel always complies with UN resolutions eventually, whereas it appears that Hizbollah and their partner in peace, Lebanon, do not ever even attempt to comply with their obligations.

The IDF is still not in top gear, if they are forced to go in hard Lebanon will pay an extremely heavy price for Hizbollah's stupidity.

Inshallah

PS There is an agreement under UN 425 for Israel to pull out of Lebanon, which is certified as fully complied with, the other side has attempted to withdraw from an agreement without meeting any of their obligations under that agreement (Lebanese army on the border & border security), after gaining all the benefits to which they were entitled under the agreement. In contract law, this means that the party which is damaged, must be returned to their position prior to their entry into the contract, so I would expect, given that this is also based upon the law of obligations, that International law would be similar.

Israel will not attack Iran and like nations who are prepared to defend themselves without a full on offensive.

Why?

Because Jews are cowards who have been trying to bait surrounding nations into a starting a war, pulling in USA and her allies.

People, do not ever bleed for a Jew for they will never offer to bleed for you.

Once again 2bob you've spruikeed Israeli propaganda.

Israel was forced out of it's 18 year occupation by Hezbollah's resistance. It had nothiing to give. It did not own Southern Lebanon.

Yikes your definition of Invasion is considerably different from the REST OF THE WORLDS.

Aas I said Israel was in Southern Lebanon for EIGHTEEN YEARS so what makes you think this current illegal invasion is going to produce any different result. Eventually Israel will skulk back behind it's borders and wait for it's next futile attempt to hijack Lebanese lands just as it did last time.

As for legal positions, well 2bob Israel's latest attack and invasion is illegal just as it was last time too. 'Clean hands' rings a bell in my mind somewhere.

At least, the “brave fighting the enemy” Hesbollah’s launching the rockets from non-inhabited areas rather than from school playgrounds and musk quarters is to spare many Lebanese civilians from “sh...ty little aggressive” Israel defending own citizens and right to exist regrettably to too many in Australia surely.

Spider what a pathetic racist post.

The jews, palestinians, lebanese and others caught up in this mess are human beings. Some want to get on with their lives as well as they can and others are determined to carry on an old fight. All who fight have some legitimate reasons for doing so and all contribute to what seems to be an endless cycle of violence in the area which takes the lives of so many who want none of it.

Your kind of racist comment is just as bad as the views of those who blame the whole thing on the arab's/muslims/garden gnomes (or whatever pet hate group they have).

Get over it.

RObert. I agree with your post. I will criticise the Israelis for what they are doing but racist approaches do not help and should be strongly discouraged.
