Does it make you a Proud Christian American that "your" president gave Israel the green light to drop bombs on convoys of villagers (Muslims and Christians) fleeing from Israeli shelling, on residential neighborhoods in the capital of Beirut and throughout Lebanon, on hospitals, on power plants, on food production and storage, on ports, on civilian airports, on bridges, on roads, on every piece of infrastructure on which civilized life depends? Are you a Proud Christian American? Or are you an Israeli puppet?

Your question is inflamatory. You ask this as to say that Israel is targeting (if it were possible) those that wear crucifix's only or predominately. Do you even know why this battle is raging? It has nothing to do with Christians. It's only one country saying, "I'm tired of you throwing your crap across the fence, and now that you've taken our soldiers/citizens/family, we'll give back some of what you've been giving us..." But if you want fairness, consider the following:
"Anselm, close friends with Urban II - the first pope to declare a crusade - had now officially outlined the centrality of the cross and Christ's death in theology. With the focus on the cross came the focus on the "crucifiers": the Jews. Following Crusader massacres at Speyer (where the Jewish community was completely annihilated) and two horrific attacks on the communities at Worms, was the butchery of Mainz in May 1096, where the city's archbishop attempted to hold off the attacks of twelve thousand Crusaders on the Jewish quarter with a force of three hundred men. The Crusades turned directly against the Jews, who were attacked and denounced as vehemently as the "pagan" Muslims. Rather than convert, large amounts of Jews committed self-sacrifice or entered into death pacts with others who were destined to share their fate: convert or die. Parents even slaughtered their own children rather than have them be forced into conversion and adoption by the Church." (see site reference below)
Was that fair and just? Here Christianity targeted non-Christians and performed genocide, and you're concerned about a few people in the way of a battle?
Life is to be respected, no matter what your beliefs, unless of course you're murdering others.
And lets not forget how the American soldiers treated the jailed captives in Iraq a little over a year ago... making them have same sex relationships and photographing them... then our whole nation, if not the whole world saw this of American soldiers. I don't know how many of those soldiers claimed Christianity, but do throw stones at others till you're perfect.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I think Israel are cruel in their war tactics. The world turns its head because they commit these crimes in Arab countries. How long would it take the UN to do something if Israel were doing this in America.
For all of you who will say that it is Lebanon's fault for sending missiles to Israel; I just want to stress the term OFFENSIVE the Israeli's are on the offensive which means that they are the ones who are the aggressors.
To add to your comment view my question "look at these awful pictures and tell me if Israel is......" They are mostly pictures about Palastine, but they will give you a good example of the cruelty that Isreal shows in war. You wouldn't believe some of the heartless jerks who make their little minded comments.

This is exactly why we shouldn't mix politics with religion.
People shouldn't be murdering people regardless of religion
or nationality. Your qustion breeds hatred.
We're fighting terrorism. Who gave the green light to fly 2 planes into the World Trade Center? If these terrorists are so brave, why don't they show themselves instead of hiding underground like cowards. Innocent people die in war.
Can't we all just get along? What's all the racket about anyway?

Are YOU proud of Hamas and Hezbolah placing their respective civilian populations at risk?? Isreal wouldn't be doing this if those two organizations hadn't pulled that BULLSH*T on them,and you KNOW IT!!! Ever ask yourself why these so-called freedom fighters surround themselves with women and kids??? I think they do because they can get people like you all upset when they can show pictures of dead women and kids.Personally I think they want those civilians to die,sacrificed for the "cause". Try some OBJECTIVITY sometime....

The Israelis got that green light long before Bush. Blame American Jews , Jewish money, and Jews in the state dept. for that murder , as well as for the murder of old men falsely accused of being war criminals.
Bloody X Tears is right, she's clueless.

Maybe you should thank Hezbollah that is firing missiles from civilian areas. Maybe you should also mention that the Israeli's have been warning people to leave the areas they are going to shell. Maybe you should thank Hezbollah for for cowardly hiding amongst civilians. If you're the big tough Muslim extremists that believe that Allah's got your back and justify killing in his name.... stand up and fight the Israeli's like men.... not hiding amongst women and children.

wont last long my friend!! wont last long
the Arab people (muslims and christians) are going crazy over this and Hezbollah will cause big damage in the israeli troops and they know it.
and killing christians this time isnt the first time. i remember a few years back when they bombed the church in jerusalem and seiged another church for weeks while christians where hiding in there frightened for there lives. they shot and killed priests.
nothing new here.

DAMN... bush's stupidity is breaking new records every day...i don't think he cares much about who dies all he cares about is his best benifit...he thinks israel will eventually become the super power of the region and so he took sides pretty early...disregarding the historical fact that all tyrants will eventually die out...he doesn't care if christians, muslims or jews die out...he's an ignorant little monkey
