It is an interview between Amy Goodman, the host of the program and Robert Fiske, the chief Middle East correspondent for the "London Independent." He has lived in Beirut for more than 30 years. I would appreciate the question being answered by people not living in Lebanon or Israel. People from the West who have not been exposed to this type of information before.

You are right cellm8te in that terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. I am a student of history and have seen this time and again. So I do not expect people who support Israel in this war to suddenly turn around and start to support Hezbollah. But what I do expect is for people, as long as they keep an open mind to see that terrorist acts can be committed by both sides and the answer to terrorism is not more terrorism by the aggrieved party on a bigger scale. No one is completely innocent here.

hmmmm. looks like the israelis took a page from american tactics. if a foriegn national commits a crime in your country you go and declare war on their entire country, destroy the society and infrastructure. called new world order.

We keep seeing this over and over - an attempt to exempt Hezbollah or Labanon - who is the real culprit? Mass punishment or collateral damage? Lebanon permitted Hezbollah to exist and to have a military hold in their country; they did nothing to prevent the terrorist acts of Hezbollah and expected to remain guilt free. It is sad that the people of Lebanon are suffering, but I've always heard that when you lie with dogs you get fleas, in this case missiles.

It really depends on every individuals bias! if you analyze the events prior to this war, the Hezbollah started this. if they've release the 2 Israeli soldiers 2 weeks ago, this war would've been avoided.With regard to the Israeli "excessive" responds, that's another matter. The Hezbollahs are the real terrorist!
