How can anybody say Israel's actions are justifiable?

Question

I do not think that Hezbollah is justified in killing Israeli civilians, but neither is Israel.

There have been 42 Israelis killed in the last two weeks - but 380 Lebanese! How can this be called justice?

Answer 1

Israel is disgusting. the Israelis have killed thousands and thousands of innocent Arab civilians in many country's. and they've been doing it for 60 years. but for some reason no one listens to the people they are exterminating. i think its time for the international community to stop the Israeli terrorists. This attack on Lebanon is not how you get rid of Hezbollah, this is how you make Hezbollah grow. by killing thousands of innocent civilians and their children, you are increasing exponentially the amount of hatred towards Israel. as long as Israel continues to indiscriminately bombard Lebanon, radical extremist groups like Hezbollah will continue to grow and attack Israel. if Israel had approached its issues with hamas and Hezbollah with rationality and diplomacy instead of trying to bomb and bulldoze them into submission they would have gotten much better results.

Israel needs to retreat to reasonable borders, pay reparations to the millions of people hurt by its actions, and stop its blatant discrimination and violence. this is the only way to end the problems that Israel has.

Answer 2

Hezbollah knew when it kidnapped the two Israeli soldiers exactly what would happen. The object of war is to kill people. Just because Israel is better at it than Hezbollah, doesn't mean that Israel should back down. Hezbollah must deal with the consequences of it's actions. Lebanon must deal with the consequences of not eliminating Hezbollah from it's country. It's called responsibility. Every Government is responsible for it's actions and inactions. Israel is doing a service to Lebanon. Israel is removing a terrorist organization from a democratic nations borders. Lebanon should pay Israel for this service. Lebanon must understand that there will be a death toll in this action due to Lebanon's inaction. Lebanon is responsible for the actions of Hezbollah while on it's soil.

Answer 3

If you were told that you would have peace by giving up land, and your enemy would be disarmed, and you gave up that land and your enemy not only was not disarmed but took some of your soldiers prisoner and in the dead of night began launching missiles into your city would you just sit around and do nothing?

or would you go out and say they killed 2 of us so we can kill two of them?

or would you do what any country would do if attacked which is totally annihilate your opponent so they can not or do not wish to try again?

The winning side of any war always has killed more than the other side has...this is how you know who is winning...also when the loosing side decides it can no longer sustain casualties it surrenders and that is how you get peace with the enemy.

Your enemy's say you win, here are our missiles and other weapons we surrender what do you want... Then you have peace.

Israel has peace with Egypt because when Egypt attacked, Israel won. Egypt agreed to a peace treaty...

Justice in war comes when one side wins not when there is equal numbers killed. if both sides only lost the same number of people then the war would continue.

Which is why this has gone on almost 40 years because Israel keeps giving concessions rather than defeating the enemy.

Answer 4

first, if the Hezbolahha weren't hiding in the civilian population, weren't so chicken sh*it....they would not have so many killed that are civilians.......the reason the Israelis have so few....they are not being targeted...the civilians are......and 35 of those are civilian.....if Hezbollah had better missiles, and more powerful missiles....there would be a lot more casualties.....and by the way? do you know how many of the Hezbollah casualties are the terrorists? Nor does anybody....it is the way they get the world against their enemies....in a case like this....all of them may be terrorists...and you would never know

Answer 5

The right to defend oneself is enshrined in our own Consitution. Israelis have the same right. If the enemy imbeds itself within the general populace, it is difficult to miss civilians when trying to destroy the enemy.
It is cowardly for the terrorists to put their own people in danger, instead of fighting outside of the towns.

Hezbollah began this horrible war. It is they who are using munitions from Syria and Iran.
Israel was living peacefully next to Lebanon until Hezbollah struck.

Are the Israelis just supposed to sit there and allow Hezbollah to fire indiscriminately into Israel? They did this for the Nazis and 6 1/2 million of them were slaughtered.

No one is calling it justice. Life is not fair. When evil people will do anything, due to prejudice, to annihilate another people, people are killed and maimed.

Answer 6

definite. What could our reaction be if Cuba exchange into firing missiles at us? What exchange into our reaction to the eastern attack at Pearl Harbor? Why is Israel judged via a extra physically powerful known? Why is there no outrage approximately Hezbollah working from civilian places? the place's the outrage with regard to the genocide in Darfur? Are Africans no longer as efficient because of the fact the Arabs? the place's the headlines with regard to the loads dying there?

Answer 7

Ok. So then justice is since 6 million jews in the died, we should execute 6 million germans? What if 12 million germans were responsible....do we stop at 6 million so to make it even, or do we kill those other murderers?

Do not blame Israel for being better at fighting a war than their enemy...especially when their enemy started the whole damn mess anyway.

Answer 8

It is not about justice it is called an unprevoked attack on a sovereign nation. I want the death toll to be in the 10,000 range when it comes to Hezbolla. I want the Lebanon Armed forces to control their country not Fascists.

Answer 9

Anyone who replies "YES" is either ignorant or plain wrong.

This is a perfect example of Israel's terrorist Zionist regime wreaking havoc on yet another Arab nation.

Answer 10

Its payback for all the anti-semitism by the arab bast a r d s......but you CANT blame israel, its not their fault the jihadist morons cant touch the Israeli war machine.
