Is Israel justified in her defense/offense?

Question

Here are the facts as I understand them:

1)July 2006 Hezbollah kidnaps at least (2) Israeli Soldiers and kills
others; Israel demands them released

2)In 2000 Israel pulls out of "Security Zone" in Lebanon;
hundreds of missiles are launched into Israel from there in July 2006

3)In Aug 2005 Israel pulls out of Gaza; hundreds of missiles are launched from there towards other Israeli targets in July 2006

4)Israel starts offensive directed at Hezbollah (not Lebanon) Israel warns public with leaflets to evacuate if near Hezbollah quarters

5)Hezbollah is a terrorist group funded by Iran and Syria

6) Iran, Syria and radical islamofascist groups in surrounding area want Israel exterminated from the planet

7) Israel has the right to exist as do her neighbors

If my facts are wrong please correct me. I can also be emailed to further discuss these issues (see my profile to contact me).

Answer 1

So lets move alittle more back in history -567 %99.9 jewish people were living in the promise land.

BTW: Israel is doing a favor to Lebanon and the world now when they are trying to get their soldiers back and knocking the hezbollah out.

Answer 2

1)Do you know how many times, since Aug 2005 when Israel pulls out of Gaza, did Israel attack Gaza and other Palestinians?
Is it great that it pulled out? why was it in and why was it killing people?

2)Do you know that Israel tanks are every couple of days into Gaza, Destroying Buildings and roads?

3) Do you know that Hezbollah kidnapped the 2 soldiers and asked to give them back after releasing about 1000 of Palestinians which was in prisons in Israel with no crime just that Israel says that they are terrorists?

4)Do you know that Lebanon is totally ruined and it will take years and years to be back as a normal country?

5)Do you know that Lebanon was like heaven, and it was one of the most beautiful country in the middle east?

6)Do you want to see Lebanon now, just take a look http://www.fromisraeltolebanon.info/ ?

7)At last, I think it will never be justified in her defense/offense.

Answer 3

I really think you guys need to get your facts from other places rather then fox news and cnn. Its important to hear the other side of the story as well once in a while. I am not saying what Hezbollah did was right, however Israels actions do not justify them either.

Why dont you guys read this interview by Noam Chomsky, who by the way is Jew.

Moreover try reading up on the following links too. You will see what misery the Palestinian people are going through at the moment. Its much worse then what Israelis are going through and what you watch on TV.

Answer 5

Let us move a step back in history before answering this question.There are 98%muslims in the year 1896in what is israel now.Zionist movement starts in europe which wants to establish a jew state there.for their support in the first world war britain promises to give them this land.propostrous.well anyways the jews migrate to this region in herds of thousands.by using terrorist organisations like irgun(first pm was former irgun)form israel in 1948.arab population 70%still. arabs fight for what is rightfully theirs and get tagged as terrorists. History my foot. Jew lobbists in US (they are the wealthies community there) confirm imunity from all war crimes. even to debate this question is the abuse of human rights of any kind.Israel occupied lebanon for 20 years which led to the formation of Hezbollah.It was not the only militia which fought the israely invasion.there were others.All others have been dismantled and their weapons are in the hands of the state of lebanon.Lebanese government needed more time to dismantle the hezbolla militia. there are 1500 prisoners including women in israely posession still.several diplomatic attempts have been made to do so but all in vain. please know ur history well and then answer this question.

Answer 6

Looks right to me. Yes, Israel is totally justified. Seems like they've done everything within their power to appease Hezbollah, to no avail. The abduction and killing of their soldiers was the straw that broke the camels back.

Answer 7

I agree with you totally. I am an American and I believe that it Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are not stopped that they will keep trying until they destroy Israel and give it back to the Palestinians. They do not want peace. They want to destroy Israel, America, and other countries who do not believe in Islam.
