Stop arguing over save a Lebanese civilian petition and a save the Israeli civilians petition. What's needed is a "Save the Civilians" petition.

"Because they dont have one of the worlds most powerful armies attacking it from the land air and sea"

Jay, that was just obnoxious. When your child's flesh is torn apart you won't care if his pain came from a f16 or a rocket.

Myself like most Irish people are outraged at Israel’s behaviour. Ireland is in the EU and let me assure you that the majority of EU citizens feel angry about Israel bombardment of Lebanon!!! I hope all you guys and gals in Lebanon and your families keep safe - you're all in my thoughts and prayers!

Israel has targetted Lebanon's army coastal radars because it believes they were used to guide the missile attack on the warship. The IDF also attacked a Lebanese unit trying to shoot down a fighter jet. Other than that the IDF claims it did not attack the Lebanese army.

you missed the point, and that was a stupid comment. I'v live through the horrors of war and seen my country torn apart. I don't need any childish enlightenment from you,

You think you are the only person who has seen war and conflict? So what? That entitles you to be blind and ignorant?


At 6:38 PM, Jay said...
How was i blind and ignorant? I am not playing the martor just responding to your post. perhaps its best we discontinue this dialogue as it serves no purpose.

I pray for peace.....

jay, tell it like it is. well, with signing in, this is so much more manageable.

why do israelis feel they even have the right to come here and tell lebanese how to perceive the self-same aggression created by - the israelis!? and i don't mean all israelis, as there are some for peace. but the others - they have some real cajones to even show up here. can you even imagine doing this yourself? what kind of hate and superiority does this take? this behavior parallels the inherent flaw in their larger acts of aggression.

Your original ad hominem response was so typical of your kind. The noble savage... You are right, this debate is over.

I pray for mutual peace on both sides of the Lebanon and Israel border.

AP says Dahiyah being bombed again.

I have little to add right now about the ongoing tragedy, but I will say two things about the public reasons for Hizbullah’s actions on Wed.

I don’t think that the scale of Israel’s assault is justified, but I can’t stand HA either.

Re: Lebanese Prisoners in Israeli Jails

Nasrallah wants Samir Kuntar to be released. While there might be some Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails who ought to be freed, Samir Kuntar is not one of them. In 1979 he murdered, point blank, three members of an Israeli family (plus a policeman). He invaded their apartment, looked them in the faces, and killed them. He killed the little girl by forcing a rifle butt into her skull.

Re: Getting Lebanese Released

Nasrallah rhetorically asked “if anyone knows a better way to , I’d like to hear it.”

Actually there is. In mid-2005 Israel released over 20 Jordanian prisoners, some of whom had committed deeds similar to Kuntar’s.

in response to the slate article:

Lee Smith (the author of the article) has always framed his arguments in this way:

"Maybe she will go home with him, assuming he has his own place, and give herself to him for the first time. Or maybe she already has. Regardless, I bet that come morning, she, like every other unmarried Lebanese woman, will rise early to hurry home before her parents wake, lest she scandalize them, their family, and neighbors. ... "

and I have always objected to it -- it's a sort of create-grand-situation-from-clever-insight tactic that only 1) consistently reinforces incorrect ideas of the region and 2) always forms his arguement on a precarious (but stable-seeming) balance point of "An Observation." He wrote an article about the townhouse gallery in cairo once (i think he might have even been staying at our house) where "all egyptian artists" were abstracted from a scene of three guys sitting around making bad art from cigarette boxes... so condescending.

"Box" is appropriate name for you, you live in a box and see no further than how your actions affect you personally.
