British Minister finally speaks out against Israeli terrorists, when is the US going to speak against them?

Question

Kim Howells says the military technique of the Israelis is nothing more than a terrorist action against the Lebanese people. 'Go after Hezbollah' he said but leave the people of Lebanon alone. When is the USA or at least a top ranking Senator going to have the courage to come out of the flock?

egoist_capit..., Of course Terrorists/ terrorism is a perfectly acceptable word when we use it against Islamic peoples. Grow up.

Answer 1

Good question. No idea. There is so much pro-Israeli sentiment in DC and around the East Coast. Hopefully someone will wake up soon and realize that Israel stole the land and has been quite vicious in expanding it.

I'm not sure it will ever happen

Answer 2

Terrorism / terrorist is really a stupid term. It's tactic-oriented, and obfuscates the essence of what differentiates the sides in these many coupled wars. If we set terrorism aside for a moment and focus on essentials, we have commonality on one side (Israel, USA, England, Australia...) some degree of freedom and support for individual rights. On the other side (Iran, Iran, Iran, Syria, Palestine (something less than a state)...), we have a coalition of mobs that embrace hatred (fear) of those freedoms, and prefer dictatorships and universal force of might over mind. In a word, it's a clash of man as an independent freewill entity vs. a savage slave to mystic collectivism. I prefer to live in a state that permits independent man to thrive. I hope the US will stand with Israel.

Answer 3

The man's an idiot..and his opinion would change if the brits were getting missle attacks. Israel is not wanting to harm innocent people and no one would be getting hurt if Hezbolalah returns the soldiers and disarms. The deaths In Lebanon can be attributed to Hezbollah solely.The U.S. Is not in the habit of defending terroist. Attack and expect retaliation.

Answer 4

It probably won't be for a while seeing that it is still hard for the government to admit that we should not of been in Iraq in the first place. I think that we might be afraid of adfmitting seeing that we have an alliance with isreal. I have a hard time swallowing what they are doing because it is too dramatic for the cause. They should practice their negotiation skills like we have.

Answer 5

Come outta the flock to say what... that we should help Israel? How can you seriously compare Hezbollah to the Israelis...

Israel doesn't brainwash their kids to believe that strapping some C4 with ball bearings to their chest... and then find the most populated area to detonate themselves as Shahada "death for Allah".

Answer 6

wake up and smell the coffee, you can't separate Hezbollah from the others, many of the "others" are Hezbollah supporters!
the "others" allow Hezbollah to live and conduct terrorist acts from within Lebanon

Answer 7

I hope never. No other country in the world would put up with the bombings, beheadings, kidnappings, rocket assults, suicide bombers, like Israel has. If America had a terrorist arab nation on our border doing this to us daily, we would have nuked them a long time ago.

Answer 8

Many americans disagree with the israeli policy of total war against lebannon, but the official policy right now is wait and see

Answer 9

The US government won't be happy until the whole middle east is blown to smithereens, and they're almost there.

Answer 10

British can mouth but they have not the balls to do anything but talk.

Lebanese people let them be there so crap happens when Israel has had enough
