After the military actions in Lebanon there are left many issues to discuss to clarify the situation. Many people blame Israel for violent acts towards Lebanese civilians, but they say nothing about Hezbollah’s sending hundreds of rockets among Israeli citizens who survived thanks to good bomb shelters. Media and some official sources of information allege now that Israel used 350,000 bomblets and 20,000 cluster bombs (I found this information at http://samsonblinded.org/blog/?p=116). Actually these figures are incredible and seem just exaggerated - a standard practice of the media. Moreover, Israelis attacked the territory already left by Lebanese citizens, who were warned to flee with the help of leaflets. So, is Israel so wrong in its actions?!!

Wowwww Julia... you ARE living dangerously :)

You are about to beclared heretic, terrorist, Fascist, Zionist fanatic pig dog etc etc ad boredem ad nauseam.

I'm not so sure about the actual issue. That would depend on hard evidence.

In terms of my own other discussion about 'Messiah' GWB :) I have to say that the Israelis have simply taken a page out of Mohammed's book and done the very same thing, (Campaign of Tabuk) albeit with more sophisticated weaponry.

I intend to use that chunk of history increasingly from now on. It is the best defense against the Islamic rants. The only answer they can possibly have is that "But we have the TRUE religion"... which of course will simply confirm that in their minds:

1/ Having the 'true' religion
2/ Violent/military expansion of that religion

.. are quite ok and demonstrated by their prophet anyway.

At least the truth will come out, and we can prepare to accomodate the rising threat in an appropriate manner. (Politically, Militarily and Socially)

Julia, do a bit of research before starting a thread using just Jewish propaganda [deleted for flaming]. The true evidence is coming out as Australians and other nationalities in Lebanon at the time, express their experiences. All the video's, photos and interviews by civilian observers show Hizzbollah only firing from the countryside. There's a huge amount of visual and documented evidence proving Israel bombed roads, bridges and villages, then the next day dropped pamphlets telling people to leave. Then the god loving jews, preceded to bombed civilian convoys, even UN ones. [Deleted for flaming.]

The cowardly monotheists, who vehemently supported Israeli right to destroy, are slithering into their holes a evidence for what you all supported, shows the veracity of Yahweh followers constant claims of love an kindness towards the life forms on this planet

Why did the [deleted for flaming] jews bombed Beirut, their ports, airports, hospitals, UN bases and Lebanon army bases who weren't involved at all. Even Israeli people are questioning why they went to war and gained nothing, but the destruction and murder of thousands, including their own.

Its all about religion, money and the control of oil, nothing else. The establishment of Israel was heavily financed by the huge religiously controlled oil conglomerates.

But I know you won't understand that or accept it, your despotic god will see to that. [Deleted for flaming.]
Is Israel wrong, society or anyone following Yahweh is wrong, history and the events of our present time, show unequivocal proof of this fact.

I'm not supporting Hizzbollah, as they also follow the same god of war as you, Yahweh [Deleted for flaming. Poster has been suspended.]

Is not too bad the Irasel guys they do have a point because the pope made a serious insult

LOL alchemist... talk about being fed propaganda.
julia, Israel is bewteeen a rock and a hard place on so many levels.
Hezbollah started it and Israel has the right to defend it's people and sovereignty.
Anyone who knows anything about Lebanon knows that the southern part below the Litani is Hezbollah-land...
Hezbollah put innocent Lebanese at risk due to their strategy and foolish violent behaviour.

Seems to me some here should do some factual reading and stop knocking David.
Palestinians? Palestine was a mandate given to the British by the League of Nations. many people lived their. Today approx 75% of it is Jordan. Obviously not enough for the Arabs.

Nov 2, 1917 British issued the Balfour Declaration, viewed by Jews and Arabs as promising a “National Home” for the Jews in Palestine.

1936-1939 ARAB REVOLT
led by Haj Amin Al-Husseini. Over 5,000 Arabs were killed according to some sources, mostly by British. Several hundred Jews were killed by Arabs. Husseini fled to Iraq and then to Nazi Germany.

May 15, 1948 Israel War of Independence (1948 War). Declaration of Israel as the Jewish State; British leave Palestine; Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia DECLARED WAR ON ISRAEL. Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian invasion began.

April 3, 1949 Armistice - Israel and Arab states agree to armistice. Israel gained about 50% more territory than was originally allotted to it by the UN Partition Plan.

May, 1964 PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) founded with the AIM OF DESTROYING ISRAEL. The Palestinian National Charter (1968) officially called for liquidation of Israel
