QOTD: war

question of the day: israel and lebanon - what do you think of this situation? who is right, who is wrong?

both are wrong and they should just stop their fighting...They are like 2 little kids who want to sit in the front seat of the car.

Mel Gibson said it best... (just kidding of course)

its a really sad situation - both have valid points and i feel bad for both of them really.

Wow... I'm not sure I want to get into this one. I think I might end up offending someone. Did you see the movie Munich? It gives a good perspective into the circle of revenge. I guess I'm a little torn. I mean I do question the excessive force being used by Israel, but in a world where just about everyone wants to see Israel destroyed the Israelis have little choice but to take the offensive when their security is challenged. There is one certain thing that I know? war will not lead to peace between these nations. It hasn?t over the last 100 centuries so why does anyone think it will work now? Peace and concession is the only option that stands a chance.

I think Israel shouldn't have called Lebanon fat, but I heard Lebanon tell Syria that Israel is a slut.

God is wrong. She should really stick to overseeing the outcome of major sporting events, and appearing in silhouette form in burritos. The whole "my god is right, your god is wrong; so I'm going to kill you" BS is really tiring and very childish.

Israel vs. Lebanon
Who is right and who is wrong
Tryin to figure out who's side I'm on
Kinda makes me want to break into a song

Got these crazy old rockets
And they're flyin 'cross the border
Little children stugglin
For food and for water

It's just a piece of land
I don't care who is strong
And just like Rodney King
Can't we all get along?

The US, UK, and Russia were wrong for giving the Jews Israel after WW2. They should have given them some place that no one cared about.. like Utah.

as an isolated incident lebanon was wrong for initiating tension between Lebanon and isreal. but I don’t think it should be looked at this way. all the frustrations, wars, anger is a compiliation of years of suppression in the middle east. generally, i think isreal reactions are terriblely oppressive. the palestinans live as second class citizens in isreal, have limited access to water, transportation, etc. life is so terrible that they are willing to die for freedom. when you have nothing, there is nothing to loose. i don't agree with how all this started, and preferred it was in support of a palenstian state. i realize i didn't answer the question...but its just a hard question to answer.

They are both wrong. Killing is wrong.

i know nothing about isreal and lebanon other than hezbollah has ties to iran

First thing Israel should stop its offensive on Lebanese territory. Someone should smack Israel with the back of the hand. Hezbollah has been shown who is the boss. Trying to force its way through Lebanon to wipe out exactly what? Without being heartless, there will be casualties in war, children dying is an unfortunate thing. However this is not war, no one has declared war, there are no 2 sides fighting the war. One does not snoop into another’s territory to see if there is a truck roughly the size of a missile launcher and then proceed to fry it. If there was a war crimes tribunal set up today, it seems like it will beat the time it took to control and punish Nazi Germany. It’s been speculated that Israel is using cluster bombs, bombs that target certain areas of human body. Specifically limbs, thereby leaving the injured handicapped even to move or shake a hand.

All this while Lebanon’s fault has not been brought up – why? Because the shock that Israel is generating every minute is taking away all the attention. Without a doubt Israel has extended its “defense mechanism” strategy.
Funny thing, Israel’s big brother is not saying much, the big brothers terminal applauder declared he won’t say anything. Bottom Feeders all.
