[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this thread is derailing.  Does anyone want to talk about the Israeli - Lebanese situation or just throw insults at one another?

Here are my other questions:

1) There is no precision targeting going on (I have seen this first hand from a friend with family in Lebanon.  Why does the media keep referring to “Israel attacks Herbollah” when it’s “Israel attacks Lebanon”

2) how does Israel’s actions make me (a US Jew) safer?   Just see all the anger the IdF killing has stirred up on the board

3) how does Israel’s actions bring the hostages home?

Israel has been incredibly precise by every measure and civilian casualties in Lebanon well below the accepted levels used by the US when it goes to war. Obviously, very civilian casualty is tragic. But no, a Hezbollah terrorist group member killed isn’t a civilian.

As for hostages, that’s on Hamas. Why does Israel have to do all the work for everything while the terrorist group Hamas has no accountability. Hamas could have returned hostages on October 8. It didn’t have to execute any of them. But it did. Stop holding Israel to an absurd standard that would never be applied to any other country in the world. [/quote]

No one believes your Zionist  propaganda any longer.  Israel has developed quite an appetite for the indiscriminate killing of civilians all over the region.  It is hated for good reason, and the leadership of Israel deserves to be detained, tried by international authorities, and punished appropriately.  Netanyahu and his henchmen are criminals and should be dealt with as such. [/quote]

FTR, not a Zionist…just a cafeteria catholic American gal who recognizes that neck of the woods has been a powder keg for hundreds of years. My priority will always be America and our interests…including things like human rights, freedom of religion, democracy, rule of law, etc.

The reality is other Arab nations appreciate the role Israel plays. The civilized nations are covertly supporting Israel. Nobody wants Iran and its terrorist thugs. Nobody.

Lebanon and Gaza need leaders who embrace western values. And Israel needs new leadership as well. I suggest younger Gen X leadership—ideally people who went to Uni in the US or UK. Heck, wouldn’t it be great if we could wave a magic wand and install 3 women. [/quote]

The official leaders of Lebanon and Palestine are less of the issue.

The problem is both places have been taken over by Iran proxy groups that are hellbent on destruction.

The Israeli government needs to be voted out and returned to a leftist leadership. Someone like Rabin. [/quote]

i agree with both of these posts. moderate arab nations are israel’s new allies. their fight against muslim brotherhood offshoots and iran are one and the same. and israeli leadership needs to go, like, yesterday. in fact, tens of thousands of israelis are constantly protesting against this government. if just one party left the coalition it would be a new day.[/quote]
