Kenny,

The fact that you are ignoring is that the Islamists are also attacking us, in places such as Bali, and are determined to attack the west wherever they can. The incident of the Danish cartoons showed just how widespread the hatred of the west is all over Islam.

I can only assume that if you were commenting on World War 2, you would claim that the Allies were just as much to blame as the Nazis.

The great majority of Australians would consider because of this that in this struggle Israel is our ally, and Hezbollah and its ilk are our enemy.

The problem with the "stopping evil" rhetoric is that both sides can legitimately claim to hold the mandle of the good guy(s).

Religion and politics, combined makes for a toxic brew.

Oh please

You'd be better off explaining why Israel commits the same war crimes as Hezbollah and why you then excuse Israel but condemn Hezbollah?

Don't think because you say something everyone is going to believe you...especially when you ignore the wrongs of one side. Doh.

"So far, Israel enjoys three crucial strategic advantages in this war: unequivocal American support; a divided Arab world; and, most crucial of all, a united Israeli people."

Yep, so being the only nuclear power in the Middle East and the 6th biggest buclear power in the world counts for nothing. Neither does having more advanced weaponry (at rates subsudused by US taxpayers) than even Australia is irrelevant.

I wish far-right Israel-lovers would stop talking about Israeli terror as a "Jewish" phenomenon. There is nothing Jewish about incinerating children.

Keith,

I have previously explained to you that Israel has not committed any war crimes, or does the presumption of innocence mean nothing? I have also explained to you, that you argument was entirely specious, and devoid of merit. Unless you can advance a rather more robust argument in favour of your continued preoccupation with war crimes, please leave it to those who can understand statutory construction.

Israel fights for the same reason that Israel has always fought, for survival.

RE: Bombing villages after warning provided & sufficient time is given:

Please pray that the IDF, the IAF in particular, can swiftly turn every defended village in South Lebanon into a large, stinking hole in the ground. Particularly Bint Jbail, the terrorrists capital.

Inshallah
