By Antony Loewenstein, published 21/7/2006

Israel's response is disproportionate and counter-productive.

Keith, if you look at my previous you will see this link:

Read some of the articles on this site, and please tell me, and the rest of the forum, why Hizbollah should be saved by a ceasefire?

Inshallah

PS For the lebanese muslims shreiking that they would defend Lebanon with their blood, please organise your flights, I am sure many Australians will be prepared to chip in to enable you to do just that (how much can a 1 way trip to Syria cost). Put up or shut up time boys.

2bob,
I agree with your observations in your second last post.

Because we have a large lebanese community in Australia, we only hear of the terror happening in Lebanon. We have no vocal Jewish community with dual citizenship here in Australia. So we hear nothing of the terror caused to citizens in Northern Israel. I receive mail at least six times a week from Israel and much are pleas for protection of the children of Northern Israel. At least Israel gives 24 hours warning by a leaflet drop for people to leave the area, unlike Hizb'Allah who give no warnings.

There were 86 katyushas rockets that landed in Israel today (so-far) 4 of them in downtown Haifa, Israel’s third largest city and Israel largest Sea Port, with a population of around 270,000. We are told all the dangerous chemical that were located at the port has been moved elsewhere in case of a direct hit, but there are still many large fuel tanks and power plants that supplies much of the Galilee area. The majority of the population of Haifa and throughout the northern part of the country is spending most of their days and nights in bomb shelters with government agencies bringing them the needed food and water supplies.

Israel's sons and daughters move into Southern Lebanon tonight..."

Onya Keith for that 'balanced' raging. Did you also add in your letter a bit of a rage against militant Hezbollah firing over a 1000 rockets indiscriminantly at CIVILIAN CITIES ? in Israel ? duh....

The Israelies are indeed targeting anything they deem to be Hezbollah military related.

Lets look at some facts.

1/ Hezbollah hide rockets in civilian homes. (thus changing their status from 'civilian' to 'military'.)

2/ Hezbollah hide rockets in MOSQUES (changing their status from 'Holy Place' to Military Unholy place)

3/ Hezbollah is a STATE....(an Illegitimate one) all people under its political and military regime and who support it, are the same as those in Nazi Germany during WW2.

4/ Israel WITHDREW from Southern Lebanon, so WHY has Hezbollah been beefing up defences and OFFENSIVE capability for the past 6 yrs ?

5/ Is point4 possibly related to the clearly stated agenda of Hezbollah to form an ISLAMIC STATE which includes Israel ?

Sorry... all this 'raging against Israel' is most pathetic, biased, and unsound.

If anyone wishes to RAGE against someone, rage against THOSE WHO CAUSED the problem ...i.e. Hezbollah.

aah..but.. you say "Israel caused it"... how ? oh.. by keeping some territory gained during the ATTEMPTED INVASION of Israeli Territory by Syria.
Well.. stiff cheddar...thats life. Show me a border in Eurpose which is not a result of the same thing ?

ALCHEMIST.. what a load of bollocks.. you did not answer my question mate.
I said "show me where the political STATUS QUO...etc." i.e. if you unravel the history of Palestine, you will find layer after layer of the very thing happening now, there was only peace after one side WON against another.

WARN (added)
DEFEAT
DEPORT
DISPERSE
ABSORB !

Most important, powerful, artistic, high achieving jewish people live in Europe, or the US. Why is it so important to die for a few sq.km-s in the holy land? - which is becoming less and less holy. Stay alive and work for the betterment of all mankind

Leigh

Thank you for revealing that you are far to the right of J W Howard – now I know I can continue to ignore your posts as the rantings of an extremist.

Thank you also for acknowledging that my posts are of such merit as to be worth paying for.

BTW, such a shame you cannot grasp the irrelevance of right or left wing politics not only in the Middle East but in modern politics also.

Irfan, my apologies for misrepresenting you, I had found the information on the internet and believed that you were connected to the Liberal Party in some fashion.

Now, 2Bob

In spite of your arrogant demand, no such research is necessary for anyone to know that the crisis in the Middle East is beyond rational understanding and rationalising at any level. My point, which has escaped your powers of deduction, is that there is no further justification for the killing on both sides and this killing must cease.

Therefore, the time has come for talk, negotiation, compromise and, most difficult of all, the swallowing of pride.

These negotiations can only start with the laying down of arms – by all parties. Therefore, in order to achieve this I suggested trade sanctions across the entire Middle East, in order to force political leaders to the negotiating table.

I can only assume, by the tenor of your posts that you approve of the unremitting murder of civilians, under any circumstances. Could you explain, along with proof, how further violence in the Middle East will bring about peace? All that has been achieved thus far, has been tit for tat retaliation; an abysmal failure at best and mass murder of civilians at worst.

Your bloodthirsty stance on this issue reveals that you are a part of the problem rather than an activist for a solution
