Are Lebanese Civilians innocent?

Question

Lebanese civilians allow and openly support Hezbollah and their actions, so are they really inncoent?

Isnt that like saying that German citizens were innocent ofthe holocaust because they didnt actually put anyone in a gas chamber?

Doesallowing the actions to take place transfer some of the guilt?

No, israel is not killing hundred because two soldiers were kidnapped, and to think that is rediculous.

They are doing this because they are tired of being constantly attacked by Hezbollah. This was NOT the first timethis has happened, and would not have been the last.

I am NOT comparing this to the holocaust, what i am comparing is the knowledge held by civilians who allow it to happen.

The lebenese have known for years that there were terrorists operating out of their country and they have not done anything to stop them, in fact many have openly supported them.

I see,

You are correct, Hezbollah is recognized by the U.N - AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!!!!!!

Answer 1

People realize that Isreal needs to nuke" Those Ones" off the map, if someone shot a missle on your property would you do nothing?. I do not think so, also yes I believe these civilians are innocent, they support terrorism because they are bullied into it.

Answer 2

If we're not a part of the solution we are part of the problem? If we apply that premise to the Holocaust and the Lebanese citizens then we must apply it globally, including the US. What did we do during the Ethiopian genocide? What are we doing now with the genocide going on in the Darfur region of Sudan in Africa? What about the train bombings and innocents killed in Mumbai, India the day before this most recent Israel-Lebanon conflict broke out?

I know that some Lebanese civilians support Hezbollah. So, they're clearly guilty. What I don't know is if others did speak out against Hezbollah. Some, at the very least, spoke out with their votes if they voted for people who are not members of Hezbollah.

That's the problem with the media. We only hear about those who support Hezbollah. And those who have died. Now that the conflict has been going on for over 2 weeks we are hearing from other Lebanese citizens who are angry with Israel and America. They are being bombed and told the US and Israel are the problem, not Hezbollah. Just as we only get part of the information, so do they. To find out more we must all search for the truth the best we can.

Answer 3

Blame for government action goes all the way down to the lowest member of that society. Bad leaders at the top are supported by the entire society.
What could any dictator do if he had not a single supporter ?After the war in Germany, I heard many people say that they couldn't do anything against Hitler because his organization was too strong to stand up against.
I always reminded them that at one time Hitler was a poor paper hanger. Everyone supported him until he built up his death squads. They shouldn't have let him get strong.
Same with Hezbollah. Lebanon gave them a free run of the country, therefore Lebanon is responsible for their actions. I doubt that Lebanon can do anything to break up Hezbollah, or to expell them from Lebanon at this point.
It's a wonder Lebanon isn't asking for American help YET to expell Hezbollah.

Answer 4

First, your first sentence is inaccurate. What are you suggesting ANY Lebanese is innocent of?
Under no circumstances equate the Germans and the Holocaust with anything that's going on now. Completely different situation. That was genocide (this is close) - and most Germans knew SOMETHING horrific was going on but did nothing to stop it - 10 years before it actually really got going. If they had tried to stop it, THEY would have gotten a bullet in the neck. And some of them did.
Often, NOT doing something is just as evil as actually doing it. Hence, the answer to your last question (I think). Work on your writing skills. It's difficult to figure out what you're trying to ask.

Answer 5

you are nuts. Civilians are always the innocents who are getting killed by government games and 'business'. Havent you heard that there are too many people in the world and there needs to be some culled to make space for the rest of us???? How can you legitimately kill a civilization unless through a made up war you create. you are saying that the citizens of Lebanon are guilty cos they support their LEGAL and UN approved freedom fighters. go wear a shoe from one of these lebanese and imagine if this war was happening in your own country. would you be innocent or guilty for what your own crap government who creates terrorists and phony wars does. ! u’s’a creates terrorism by creating terrorists trained up by cia and fbi and other crap organizations that are nothing but terrorist camps both on u’s’ soil and abroad. Example, both bin laden and saddam hussein have been trained by cia in and out of the usa and they were posted to their position, and these posts have been attacked and invaded by u's'a, how many others like bin laden and saddam did cia train and post to their positions around the world so that they can be attacked and invaded depending on the cia agenda.

Answer 6

Let me remind you that Hezbollah never had parts of Israel, but Israel did have parts of Lebanon and Syria, so, who is defending and who is attacking?

Answer 7

German citizens may not have had the strength to challenge the formal military of their country, or may have had fears of the consequences of fighting the military of their country, just or unjust.

Hezbollah is not a military of a country acting radically. they are a force inside a country, endangering its citizens. that country should control whats happening inside it, but i can see how citizens may not have the strength to resist without support form their govt. in that case, in my outside-the-situation point of view, the citizens need to resist, and if they cannot, leave so you are not a target.

Answer 8

im sick of people blaming the lebanese for this..whats their choice they have to support them lol or else face the consequences....yes this is because of the kidnapping...and israel had leb people kidnapped first. grow up people are gonna support lebanon and people will support israel...so why bother arguing whose right or wrong or who started it or why its hhappening..its here its happening....pray for all people involved.

Answer 9
