Does Israel have the right to bomb Lebanon the way it is? Are two Jewish soldiers lives worth 100 Lebaneseone

Question

Israel bombing Lebanon

Answer 1

ZIONISM TODAY
Christian and Muslims are seen as subhuman and are forced to use color coded license plates that easily identify them as non-Jewish. Palestinians are forced to use different roads, sidewalks and neighborhoods from their Jewish counterparts primarily to prevent terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. In actuality it was yet another form of control and humiliation designed to wear down and demoralize the Palestinian people. 93% of Israel is off limits to non-Jewish residents...though exceptions are made for tourists.


Israel an American Value?

Torture and summary executions were not American values until we prostituted ourselves for the sake of Israel, thus adopting their policies, programs and procedures, despite the conflicts with our constitution and stated principles.

Though these actions violate every principle the United States is founded on, we support and protect these policies in Israel and engage in them in Iraq and Afghanistan making the term, "American values" the ultimate oxymoron.

[I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent.

Answer 2

It isnt just about 2 soldiers --they killed 8 while taking the two and tossed in rocket attacks for good measure.
Countrys do not get to enter another country and take soldiers, bomb it and basically declare war without retaliation.

Israel has not only the right but a duty to respond and protect herself.
Israel is the only country in the world that people have the nerve to question when she responds to an attack! No other country would do anything different , not would the rest of the world question their right to defend themselves.

Take a look at this current conflict. Iran and Syria have done what they have threatened--they have begun war with Israel by using Hezbollah and Hamas because they dare not do so directly.

Iran and Syria should be bombed since they are the source.

Answer 3

since the United States are giving them the thumbs up it seem all right for the Israeli's, but what i can't understand is this bombing justify targeting area where no Hezbollah is present, targeting Churches, buses carrying women, children, and elderly people.... the whole international community should go and dig a big whole and bury themselves they are worthless, united states and Israel took the case of the 2 soldiers as the best excuse to raid again Lebanon, they know very well they could have had third party to negotiate but NOOOO it was war they wanted.... and for the people who agreeing for the bombing of Lebanon thank you very may you never go through what the Lebanese are in at the moment, open your eyes and stop being so color blinded and racist because they are Arabs they need to disappear.... And Lebanese causalities has risen over 260 people and displaced 500,000

Answer 4

I believe countries have a responsibility to account for ALL that it does and does not do.

Lebanon needs to know it is not an island in the middle of the ocean. It borders Israel, Syria among others; as such Lebanon will need to ask itself: what is the future and direction of the country and its people?

Lebanon cannot say "we didn't do it" when Hezbollah abducts Israelis' soldiers; Israel will pull your ostrich heads out of the sand and show you what Lebanon needs to do to be good neighbours. Because it has allowed another country to use its territory to attack Israel, Lebanon and all Lebanese will have to stop their honeymooning and act appropriately. If not Israel has the right to defend itself and will do so even if it means levelling Lebanon completely.

Answer 5

Yesterday on the news I saw an interview with the parents of one of the Israeli soldiers who pointed out that this isn't just about their son's life -- there have been plenty of kidnappings before.

It's more about trying to force the Lebanese government to reign in Hezbollah. Keep in mind, as well, that Israel has been under attack, whether overt or quieter, since it was formed in 1948.

There just isn't a good solution to the problem. Groups like Hamas and Hezbollah deny the right of Israel to exist and are committed to destroying Israel. The Lebanese government has refused to disarm Hezbollah.

One way to look at the situation is that Hamas and Hezbollah have been biting away at Israel for years and Israel finally took the bait. Hezbollah definitely wants the fight.... They were formed specifically for that purpose.

This is a decent article about the larger situation:

Answer 6

No, of direction no longer. And to appreciate this warfare, or the different conflict it facilitates to appreciate history. Yeah, the class that bored many a individual to sleep in H.S. is obtainable in powerful in understand-how significant subject concerns that take place in the present day. I be conscious that human beings that take the realm of the muslim in many circumstances doesnt understand history nicely. The muslim area of the argument appeals to thoughts, no longer data. The youthful individual who doesnt understand the genuine tale (history) see's the "undesirable palestinians" or the "undesirable lebanese" as harmless civilians being attacked via propose ole evil Israelis. To that all of us I could say is, seem deeper. This cutting-edge concern has been build up for years. while Hezbollah crossed the Israeli border attacking the Israeli outpost, killing Israeli squaddies and kidnapping 2, that became into in straightforward terms the spark that spark off an explosion that were construction for some years. communities like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Queda have sworn to the destruction of the Israeli state, and that they gained't stop until eventually Israel isn't there anymore. that's what this warfare is rather approximately, Israels survival, no longer 2 abducted squaddies. study history and study the genuine reality. do no longer place self assurance in a media in the present day it is crammed with hatred for the "zionists".

Answer 7

Basically the Hezbollah was founded by Iran’s regime at first just to terrorising the region because their main slogan is to wipe up Israel from the region , but do You think that Iran’s regime has that military power to wipe out the Israel from the region?


It unfortunate that Iran’s regime is taking a advantage of Hezbollah to attack Israel to re-direct the international attention from their Nuclear crisis. At the end is just ordinary innocent people will be killed not the leader of Islamic groups which just spread hatred in the region and world. The main way to stop violence and hatred is to help Iranian people to get rid of state terrorist that oppressed them daily.

Answer 8

It is not a matter of math -- you can't do math with human lives! -- but rather a matter of a country defending its citizens from the terrorist group Hizbollah.

The Lebanese government allowed Hizbollah to carry arms and did not prevent it from attacking Israel from Lebanese soil. The Lebanese government must share in the responsibility for the death of its citizens.

Unfortunately, Hizbollah is threatening to kill people in Southern Lebanon who are trying to flee northwards. Those poor people are forced to stay in "the hot zone", so that if they are killed during an Israeli attack on the region, the world will blame Israel.

Answer 9

The first WW started when a man shot the Arch Duke in Sarajevo. The death of one man caused the death of millions. It all escalates. You say 100 Lebenese, but you forget that a lot more than 2 Israelis have died since the kidnapping.
I think it is important not to take sides here - the only way out is to think logically and not provide people with reasons to kill each other.

Answer 10

Israel does not have the right to kill all the innocent civillians and the way they go about their mission. It's simply against human rights. If there were mature enough people out there.. they would have figured out a negotiation like normal human adults, instead of playing with their weaponry and destroying so many poor people - and understand the reasons behind the actions.

Answer 11

War has often come down to the question of the value of individual life. Countless times in history individuality has been sacrificed in the name of warfare and too often in the name of wanton slaughter.

Ideally, no human life is worth more than any other human life. Realistically most nations on Earth always value the lives of their citizens over the lives of the citizens of another country. It's not the way it should be but it's the way it is.
