I'm asking IF YOU SUPPORT IT NOT ME..I already know what side I stand on and nothing will change my opinion

I know some of you feel strongly about your opinion but PLEASE be respectful of one another's opinion. Everyone has a right to say what they think.

I was told that "you could show me tons of pictures of israeli casualties" my response is so can I..and I can also show you tons of pictures of casualties on the lebanon side.

Answer 1

The price of war is grusome and at times not fair but that is why it is called a "war" and not a celebration. The Hezbollah terrorist have been planning this very tactifully and embedding themselves within the Lebanese population and in the end... who pays the price for the terrorist activity when bombs are targeted at Hezbollah strongholds? The innocent civilians and children.

The terrorist "Hezbollah" are the ones who are doing this to this beatiful country of Lebanon...using civilians to shield themselves from the attacks of the IDF. That is more of the reason that we need to get rid of this terrorist organization called "Hezbollah".

Look if your neighbor decided to invade your house and steal your belogings including your family members would you just sit tight until the enemy was done? or would you take action?

That is simply what Israel is doing against this terrorist group.

Answer 2

So you respond to suffering by completely losing sight of how these events came to pass. Your immaturity and lack of sound judgment prove nothing, and neither do the pictures.

You have apparently reached an emotional opinion, basing your view of who is right or wrong in the conflict on whoever is able to show you pictures that tug most effectively at your heart-strings -- regardless of who put the pictures together, how accurate they are, how one-sided they are, and so on. Your little picture-show is basically irrelevant to your question, because the justification of armed conflict is not based on such childish, emotionally manipulative nonsense but on actual facts and legal precedence.

International law is very clear that Israel has a right to respond to the incursion, killing of its citizens, kidnapping of its citizens, and the many hundreds of rockets it has fired indiscriminately into Israel's civilian areas. You apparently see no difference between those who actively hope to kill civilians (Hezbollah) and those who actively try to avoid killing civilians (Israel). (And don't give me any garbage on that point: Israel's military targeting processes are basically the same as any military in NATO, while Hezbollah's intentions are widely professed by Hezbollah itself.)

I would strongly urge you to acquaint yourself with some of the facts about how this conflict began and to give some serious, mature consideration to when governments have -- not just a right -- but a duty to protect their citizens.

Answer 3

Yes, war is hell and many innocent people on both sides are caught up to its consequences, however I do think that the Israeli's have a right to defend themselves from attack and I do believe they have shown much restraint in the past. Do not forget that Hezbollah is shooting missiles into Israel every day as we speak, hundreds of them.

Answer 4

Israel is justified to self protection. those communities call for the destuction of Israel. in the event that they do no longer take the offensive in this challenge then they are going to be pushed into the sea. in order that which you understand, Hezbollah and the Palestinians have additionally killed harmless Israelis. North Korea has examined their weapons yet under no circumstances did harm to absolutely everyone. They under no circumstances killed absolutely everyone nor did they threaten to explode Japan. The Muslim international places consistently terrorize Israel and choose to wreck that's existance. it is only too undesirable that it has gotten out of hand. Too a lot of human beings have died. the answer is peace yet my answer is unrealistic. How can Iran settle for Israel's existance in the event that they choose to blow them up? i'm hoping peace could be carried out sooner or later.

Answer 5

WE don't. I think when the rest of the world condemns an act that the USA supports, it's time to start recalibrating the nation's moral compass...

Levelling streets of civilian houses is simply not an anti-terrorist measure, no matter how you look at it. It will only continue to fuel the very complex problems of the region.

Answer 6

I don't even see the logic behind justifying Israel's attacks that goes after a country (be it lebanon or any other) that is made up of human lives like yours and mine as a punishment against Hezbollah whom they can't even reach!

Lebanon lives forever ...its beauty, its people

Answer 7

Honestly, we'd be hypocrites not to support them. Hezbolah is sworn to the totall destruction of Israel. After what we have done in the interests of "freedom" and a misguided lust for revenge, how can we criticize another sovreign country for doing the same?

Answer 8

yes,,, if a sovereign nation can not defend themselves against a radical Arabic organization, responsible for kidnapping and killing Israeli soldiers, and lobbing missiles at their citizens, on their soil, what good are they... would you want to live in a country that won't defend their citizens against terrorists..... George W Bush could learn something from Israel,, at lease they can remain focused on the enemy, and their organization

Answer 9

hey- Canada supports the retaliation of Israel as well. I support it in theory- why take crap from terrorists? but i disagree to the extent that so many civilians were involved. There is no good way to make war....

Answer 10

Its really a simple question.. do you support Israel, or, the terrorists.

To put it another way, you can take care of your loonies, or we can take care of them for you.
