what do you think about lebanon-israel crisis and the usa function in this crisis..?

Answer 1

I think that the American government is being hypocritical. Furthermore, the average American is unaware of the actions by all parties in the Middle East, and mostly end up echoing the 30-second sound clips of their government.

1) Americans often repeat the statement that "Israel was the traditional homeland of the Jewish people and it was stolen from them". While this may be a true statement depending on your point of view, if you agree with this statement than logically you should agree that all Americans should be forced to live in 25 states and the American Indians should be given back the other 25 states because their land was stolen from them, too. Or maybe California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Colorado should be returned to the Mexicans because their land was stolen from them.

2) The American government advocated for fair and free elections and would support the winner. The winner of the fair and free elections was Hamas. Instead of supporting the government as they had promised, the Americans condoned Israel witholding millions of dollars rightfully owed to the new Hamas governemnt so they could build roads, schools, hospitals, businesses, policemen, firemen, and other infrastructure of a nation. If another country witheld millions of dollars from the United States so that they could not pay their citizens salaries, repair bridges, or provide roads to transport food to market, the United States would go to war, too.

3) Why does the United States tolerate Israel being a racist country that only allows Jewish people to live there? When South Africa denied basic civil rights to non-white citizens, there was world wide outrage and demand to stop state sanctioned racism. Instead, the United States supports Israel's state sponsored discrimination against its non-Jewish citizens.

Personally, I do not believe the claims by the American government that organizations such as Hamas, or nations such as Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are trying to exterminate Israel. This statement is repeated again and again by American officials until they say it enough times that it is accepted as fact.

I believe that if the United States and all countries would end the unfair economic policies, stop military actions against citizens in other countries, and provide hope to Lebannon and the Palestinian people instead of humilation and despair, the fighting would stop and new nations would emerge.

Answer 2

I think that Israel's incursion into Lebanon was a disproportionate response to Hezbollah's soldier snatching. But the Bush administration (and Blair's UK) are happy to let Israel take their best shots at Hezbollah, and they don't care who else gets hurt in Lebanon. Bush is like a teacher that holds one kid's arms so that another can get a few good punches in before the fight is broken up. The other two reasons why Bush et al has little interest in stopping what's happening is the powerful jewish lobbies in the U.S.; an even better reason is that this little dust-up is keeping that seething debacle in Iraq out of the very top headlines in the news.

Answer 3

I think Lebanon should have reined in Hezbollah long ago. Lebanon chose to ignore Hezbollah's unrestrained campaign against Israel taking place on its border. Whether it felt it could contest Hezbollah's presence or not is not an issue as it could have asked for, and received, assistance. Accordingly, it is not in a position now to complain of the actions of Israel in response to the continuous incursions by Hezbollah fighters into Israel. And...why is it that everyone in the world wants the USA in this fight? No one wants the US in Iraq, but everyone seems to want the US to intervene in Lebanon. It seems to me that the world only takes issue with action or inaction by the US when it suits a cause that is against western interests.

Answer 4

I have to say the guy above me is an embarassment to the USA.

I think it is GREAT that Israel is doing what they are. Someone needs to take out some of them haters before they get in too much power and end up killing everyone in the world.

The USA is supplying Israel with bombs and any thing needed to win this war and I am proud to say that we will supply them if they want to take out Iran as well.

There are dirty jobs. But they have to be done.

This is all a good thing.

Answer 5

The middle east has been having trouble with Israel since the country was formed in 1948. In the past, the United States has done quite a bit to cool the tensions over there.

Remember when President Clinton got Yasser Arafat (Head of PLO) and Yitsak Rabin (Israeli PM) to shake hands and sign a peace accord? What's come out of it? Not much.

The United States needs to keep it nose out of middle eastern affairs. This isn't WWIII. It's just another battle in the war between Israel and it's neighbors that has been going on for over fifty years.

The more we get involved in it the more problems we cause for ourselves. You can't defeat someone who thinks they have God on their side.

Has anyone heard anything about how we're doing in Iraq?

Or what about the nuclear weapon that Iran is trying to make?

Or how about the nuclear weapons that North Korea may already have?

Or how about global warming which we're doing nothing to mitigate?

Answer 6

The U.S. has once again embarassed itself by backing Israel's insane plan of starting a ground war.

We just opened up a new message board that involves sports, politics, history, and current events. We're looking for intelligent people. Help us out and sign up! The more, the better.
