"Israel isn't perfect , but compred to Hezbollah - they're saints."<br><br>Huh? Are you thinking this statement thru? It appears you do your homework on a lot of issues, but have you been paying attention on this one? Not that I condone Hezbollah's actions in the past or present (or Israel's in many cases) but as far as I can tell, Israel all started because Hezbollah kidnapped a few Israeli soldiers. Isn't this reaction a little bit overboard? Watch CNN and a few more children from Lebanese hospital beds (and Israeli ones) begging for a stop to hostilities and saying it's not their fault.<br><br>Israel is a lot of things, good and bad, compared to Hezbollah, saints is not among them.<br><br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

I'll go so far as to say I think Israel needs to dial it back some. But, as you point out, there is a reason why their ad hoc slogan is Dot's it, no more Mr. Nice Guy!<br><br>

Israel (and others) has been asking the Lebanese Gov't to show Hezbollah the door for quite some time. As usual, if you want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself. <br><br>If you repeatedly hear the leaders of several nations call for the complete elimination of the State of Ianovami and all his cousins, you might be inclined to react a little harshly, too.<br><br>

<br>Time to add Switzerland to the 'axis of evil'. <br><br>Foreign Minister of Switzerland Calmy_Rey (pictured above)<br>has called for an immediate ceasefire stating Israel has gone to far by<br>striking civilians and destroying civilian infrastructures.<br><br>"We have reminded the belligerents a number of times that humanitarian law <br>should be applied," said Paul Seger, head of the foreign ministry's <br>international law directorate. "We are still neutral, since we are not taking <br>sides with either party but defending the law."<br><br>Careful Switzerland, you'll tarnish your neutral image by stating the obvious.<br><br>[color:red]Allez Cuisine!

I don't categorize their reaction as "a little harsh" even if I understand Israel's motivation. The story is not all that one sided as some people would like to believe on both sides, and I am sure you know that Steve. <br><br>For the record, and not that it really matters, the first letter in my username is "L", though there is no way to tell just by looking at it. I did that to confuse anybody who might advocate my complete elimination. <br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

For one thing, I've never said the story is one-sided. It is, however, far more complex than most of us will ever appreciate. But history has helped nurture the POV that they won't take sh!t from anyone. That's not exactly a moderate stance. But moderation is not something Israel, and Jews long before Israel's inception, have been shown a lot of. That doesn't mitigate several hundred civilian deaths this past week. But neither does it warrant the label of "Terrorist". And I'll say it again — if the Lebanese gov't had gotten off it's ass and dealt with Hezbollah a long time ago, hell would not likely be breaking out over there today.<br><br>Also for the record — and by coincidence — the first letter in the "New World Terrorist's" name is also "L". Notice how it has prevented ther complete elimination of Lsrael! <br><br>

<br>The UN says almost a third of the dead are children. That's almost 100 children killed by Israeli terror attacks.<br><br>I wonder if this Lebonese child was hit by an artillery shell that was 'personalized' by the Israeli school child -<br><br><br><br>Wouldn't that be a great what 'I did in the summer' story she could tell her classmates when returning to school.<br><br><br><br><br>[color:red]Allez Cuisine!
