Israel is being a barbarian, as usual

"basically the current stage of what's going on -- there's a lot more -- begins with the Hamas election, back the end of January. Israel and the United States at once announced that they were going to punish the people of Palestine for voting the wrong way in a free election. And the punishment has been severe.

At the same time, it's partly in Gaza, and sort of hidden in a way, but even more extreme in the West Bank, where Olmert announced his annexation program, what’s euphemistically called “convergence” and described here often as a “withdrawal,” but in fact it’s a formalization of the program of annexing the valuable lands, most of the resources, including water, of the West Bank and cantonizing the rest and imprisoning it, since he also announced that Israel would take over the Jordan Valley. Well, that proceeds without extreme violence or nothing much said about it.

Gaza, itself, the latest phase, began on June 24. It was when Israel abducted two Gaza civilians, a doctor and his brother. We don't know their names. You don’t know the names of victims. They were taken to Israel, presumably, and nobody knows their fate. The next day, something happened, which we do know about, a lot. Militants in Gaza, probably Islamic Jihad, abducted an Israeli soldier across the border. That’s Corporal Gilad Shalit. And that's well known; first abduction is not. Then followed the escalation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, which I don’t have to repeat. It’s reported on adequately.

The next stage was Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers, they say on the border. Their official reason for this is that they are aiming for prisoner release. There are a few, nobody knows how many. Officially, there are three Lebanese prisoners in Israel. There's allegedly a couple hundred people missing. Who knows where they are?

But the real reason, I think it's generally agreed by analysts, is that -- I’ll read from the Financial Times, which happens to be right in front of me. “The timing and scale of its attack suggest it was partly intended to reduce the pressure on Palestinians by forcing Israel to fight on two fronts simultaneously.” David Hearst, who knows this area well, describes it, I think this morning, as a display of solidarity with suffering people, the clinching impulse."

Any country that looses control over its own territory has to suffer.

Afganisthan lost control to Taliban and Al Queda. Iraq lost control to a megalomaniac. Pakistan is at the brink and perhaps trying to strike a balance between the terrorists and the US.

Lebanon has allowed terrorists to set up murderous militia units in its territory.

Israel also hates body bags. So does Lebanon.

The Lebanon - Israel conflict is only the trailer. There is more to come. Unless, Lebanon acts and gets rid of these murderous thugs from their soil, they will never be able to achive peace in their land.

Crying and weeping for support from the world has value, when one also cries for others.

The way things are now, this war will never end. The roots of the problem is the religious and nationalistic fanatics. If you look at all the bloodletting in the world, you will find self-centered hatred fueling the flames. the only way to stop it is by getting rid of sectarian boundaries by promoting world commerce and material happiness across the world. It might seem impossible, but there is no other way out.

The beginning of the end - armageddon is possibly very near. The israelis and the christians and all disbelievers will soon realise the truth that is Islam. Prophet Jesus(pbuh) will come and lead all muslims to victory. Islam will triumph and those who support Islam shall prosper. Allahu Akbar!

This war is more spiritual than physical; no amount of human effort can resolve it. The war will end when the world comes to an end.

Not a war, just the game they have been playing for thousands of years. If it was a war, there would be thousands of dead.

it's inevitable, and will take it's course unless some prime minister or president with one iota of sensibility comes along and sets things right, we r going to face bloodshed everysingle day, or probably even die in one of the happenings , who knows. i think we need people responsible in power, not ones hungry for power, if we want a safer world for our children
