For the past few weeks, I have keeping up with the situation between Lebanon and Israel. I believe that Israel does have a right to stand up for itself in a region that is geographically dominated by muslims, but are they really approaching this conflict properly? From what I have read, lots of women and children are being punished over in Lebanon as a result of a governmental conflict. People in Lebanon who hadn't necessary shown any resentment for Israel or the United States are now furious with americans and israelis. When people are in this state of frustration and panic, it becomes very easy to persuade their rationale by means of propaganda.
I have a strong feeling that this conflict will not end anytime soon. There are just too many issues at the present that cannot be worked out by means of negotiations and peace treaties. The only question is, will propaganda cause more countries to join in the conflict before this situation is over?
