How is the Israeli attack justified in Lebanon?

Question

I posted a similar question 2 hours ago and realized that many people were ok with the fact that Israel went into Lebanon, destroyed all of its airports and killed civilians. first of all, EIGHT children were killed by them, that wasn't even enough to be shown as a breaking news on CNN.com. Then, you should all know before you answer that Lebanon did not kidnap those soldiers but a militia fraction in it that operated independantly from the gvt and is controlled by iran and syria. Still, is it justified that the kidnapping of 2 soldiers ( which i oppose by the way) is reason enough to slay civilians, destroy the country's economy and airport? Are you people brainwahsed so far that you don't realize that it's as inhumane and equal to any terorist act that has happened in the human history? If the killing of innocents is a terrorist act ( and i agree with this), then why isn't the israeli army action considered one too? CHILDREN were killed, how can you be ok with that?

Answer 1

Israel is not justified in doing what they are doing. god be with the lebanese people.

Answer 2

Man (or woman), did you just arrive to America? Do you not know that Israel is sacred here and beyond reproach? Do you not know that no life, children or not, matters if it's Arab? Israel has worked very hard for years to brainwash Americans and control its media. If they knew the truth, Americans would act differently. They are not bad people. Israelis are such crybabies "oooh Israeli towns are being attacked! This is an act of war!!" Just what has Israel been doing since 1948 but invade and kill? And they started it and call themselves a defense force! By the way, whether you agree with the kidnapping of the Israelis or not, you have to acknowledge, these were armed soldiers illegally entering a sovereign country. Perhaps they expected a welcoming committee?

Punkdrunkard: Assuming Israel retaliates and does not attack (big assumption overlooking 1948 and the expansion of settlements since then), does there not come a point, a certain level of destruction and violence, where you cannot pretend anymore that you are retaliating?
Babes: There are many Arab babies killed in peaces by Israel DAILY and their mothers love them. You don't see them because you live in the US. You don't have to watch Al Jazzeera. Practice for a few days going on http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/index.shtml. And as for retaliation, see above.

Answer 3

It's like i answered to you before, dude: It's retaliatory bombing. It seems that many countries cannot stand Jewish people. It's been their fate, it seems, to be constantly attacked, whether by the nazi's in World War 2, or by hate groups and muslims. Could you imagine someone coming into a mall in america and suddenly exploding killing many people around you? Let's break it down even smaller. A guy comes in your house and shoots your brother, if you could, would you stop him by any means necessary before he also kills your mother? Yes you would. The problem that comes into play is that, in this scenario, what if you didn't stop there? What if you found out the guys address, and killed his family too? What if you set fire to his whole block. Perhaps loft a bomb and destroyed the whole community? Therein lies the challenge. Finding criminals and putting them on trial is a difficult process... especially in the middle east. It's sad, and it's terrifying. But to be honest, those muslim countries will never stop hating jews, and they sacrifice their own children for the cause of exterminating Israel. Soon every religion will be outlawed, and blood will run like a river through that region. These times are terrible. Get ready, the time is almost upon us.

And FADIA, don't be so sarcastic. Number one, Israel doesn't attack, it retaliates. And Israel is our only real ally, so don't even try it. We support Israel because they are a democratic nation, not a bunch of religious nut cases. Muslims are the only radicals attacking people. Oh, them and us, i should say. lol. ;)

Answer 4

Well there where aslo problems between those countries way before the kindnapping of the soldier. War isn't right but there isn't many other ways to make your point that people will take seriously. If you talk no1 will listen if u threaten to bomb the crap outta them they'll respond. Children are killed all the time even if it isn't war. People are insane. No one is completely in the right but i don't think it's terrorism for they have a reason to be mad. I don't think its any more inhumane than many other things happening in the world. I agree that this isn't the best situation, but what do you expect them to do?

Answer 5

And Israel has never had any of HER civilians killed by Muslim extremists, who then take refuge in Lebanon? Israel was trying to get the Hezbollah and other thugs who delight in taking potshots into Israeli territory. It is always tragic when innocents are harmed, but put the blame on those who hide behind them.

Answer 6

The Hezbollah is a crazy anti-Semitic cult with deep pockets thanks to the support they receive from Iran. They are part of the government of Lebanon and currently have around 16,000 (!) missiles pointed at Israeli towns.

They must be destroyed.

Answer 7

Isreal is defending itself. Syria and Lebanon have funded suicide cowards that have killed babies, women and men for years. I will never forget the wreckage that used to be a commuter bus in Isreal when they dragged the body of a tiny baby out. It really made me see what those people really are...less than human.

Answer 8

so that you reply to suffering by employing thoroughly dropping sight of ways those activities got here to bypass. Your immaturity and shortage of sound judgment tutor no longer something, and neither do the images. you've curiously reached an emotional opinion, basing your view of who's incorrect or acceptable contained in the conflict on whoever is able to exhibit you pictures that tug maximum effectively at your heart-strings -- regardless of who placed the images at the same time, how precise they're, how one-sided they're, etc. Your little image-tutor is largely irrelevant on your question, because the justification of armed conflict isn't in accordance to such infantile, emotionally manipulative nonsense yet on easily information and criminal priority. global regulation is extremely sparkling that Israel has a acceptable to reply to the incursion, killing of its electorate, kidnapping of its electorate, and the numerous 1000's of rockets it has fired indiscriminately into Israel's civilian aspects. You curiously see no large difference between those who actively desire to kill civilians (Hezbollah) and those who actively attempt to sidestep killing civilians (Israel). (and do not provide me any garbage on that aspect: Israel's militia targeted on procedures are surely the same as any militia in NATO, even as Hezbollah's intentions are substantially professed by employing Hezbollah itself.) i ought to strongly urge you to acquaint your self with many of the information about how this conflict began and to grant some extreme, mature interest to even as governments have -- no longer purely a acceptable -- yet a duty to guard their electorate.

Answer 9

I haven't heard alot about this, but I watched the news this morning, and it looks to me like they're WAY overreacting, or they were looking for an excuse...
