i was just watching cnn and i just feel that this is unfair. they are so against hezbollah, when hezbollah is only trying to protect the middle east from the wrath of israel. the only reason why they are attacking israel is to protect the middle east, especially palestine iraq and lebnon. any way, the government should be sued. according to the treaty of the UN, no US ally could use US weapons to attack civilians. israel is doing just that!!!! cnn is only showing israeli witnesses, but not even 1 arab witness.

what you all call stupidity is really intelligence. practically everybody on here is against hezbollah. and how it started isn't what you people think. isreal kidnapped hostages from lebnon and hezbollah kidnapped some soldiers just so that israel could give the lebnonies back. instead, israel started bombing lebnon. and just so you know, hezbollah isn't terrorist. it just wants to help the poor and needy, by supporting them with food and shelter.

The United States mostly offers only news that is slanted to the beliefs of our government. That's why the American public seems so ignorant of the harm we are inflicting upon the world.
We give weapons and financial support to Israel. Whatever they want to do, whoever they want to kill, we put our big OK stamp on. That's one reason so much of the world hates us. If we disagree with Israel, people jump on us for being anti-semitic
Of course, don't forget that we also have a license to kill. Look at what we are doing in Iraq.
Countries like North Korea want to have nuclear weapons in order to prevent us from attacking them. We want to be the only ones to have nuclear weapons so we can rule the world.
Don't forget how much richer Bush is getting with all the turmoil over in the middle east. His "blind trust" has big eyes.

I watch CNN a lot and I read a lot about the middle east. It seems that (repeating my self over and over) Lebanon was ordered by the UN to disarm Hezbollah and did not. Lebanon allowed Hezbolla to attack Israel not the other way around. Israel pushed these crazies back many times and even held their land for years and years trying to keep these nut cases from killing people in Israel. Israel gave Lebanon back their land 6 years ago and completely moved out of Lebanon. They did the same thing on the south side of the country this year. Guess what happened. Hezbollah and the other gang of outlaws just moved back in and started attacking Israel again. How many times does it take for someone to say leave me alone?
Hezbollah is not trying to protect the middle east. They are just trying to kill out the Israel people and not just the men. They want women and kids dead as well. It is the same way they feel with Americans. They just don't think we have a right to live.
And no one is using US made weapons to kill civilians. They are killing Hezbollah and some get in the way. They are warned it is coming but they stay there to load the rocket launchers and support Hezbollah. If they were really civilians they would leave.

I don't think the Western (American, Australian, British, etc.) reporters really want to go so far as to interview Hezbollah fighters because they'd be in too much danger. They are not our allies, so interviewing them would be a little more difficult. And the fact that they're trying so hard to blend in with the people makes it more difficult. Besides, they do have Lebanese people on there all the time & they pretty much just want the fighting to stop. They don't support Hezbollah any more than they support Israel, and they're sick of being stuck in the middle. And the foreign ministers/ambassadors/etc. from Lebanon have been on CNN all the time. So do us all a favor, and before you jump to ignorant conclusions, watch CNN for a little longer than 1 or 2 hours next time. Better yet, watch several days of it. And it's not just CNN that is more friendly with Israel. Guess what? They're our allies. Of course it's easier for reporters to hang out with them! Geez.

You lack reasoning. Israel just did not start assaulting Hezbollah. Hezbollah (as does hamas) repeatedly fire rockets into Israel - and when Israel shown restraint, not doing anything - they kept attacking Israel. Now THAT IS NOT PROTECTING THE MIDDLE EAST When they attack people (Jews) who leave them alone.
The final straw is when they killed and kidnapped Soldiers on top of sending missiles over and starting a fight THEN HEZBOLLAH HIDES LIKE COWARDS, like frightened women among innocent civilians who get killed in the crossfire. That is not concern for the Arab people. If they were heroes they would not hide behind innocent women and babies - they would fight Israel face to face like men and not endanger their fellow Arabs.
In other words you not only support Terrorists - you are supporting Murderous Cowards, thugs, criminals who just do not want peace.
Israel has already demonstrated she wants peace many times but Hamas, Hezbollah and other terror groups will not be satisfied to every man, woman and child who are jews are dead. They are the ones who target babies and women. Israel has not - but sadly these little ones and women are killed ONLY BECAUSE the Coward Hezbollah hides behind them.

Wow - CNN is the most Hezbollah friendly of all the Cable News Networks. Wrath of Israel? Give it up. How would you like it if every house on every side of you shot rockets or bombed you all day every day? Hezbollah murdered over 230 Marines in the early '80's who were there simply to protect the Lebanese from bozos like Hezbollah. Does it mean anything to you that their best buddy is Iran - yet another country who has not only sworn to drive Israel into the sea, but has also threatened to attack us on our own soil? How'd you like 9/11? When they drop an A-Bomb on Chicago, let me know how you feel - if you're still alive or not dying a slow, painful death from radiation poisoning...
People like you frighten me - give Jimmy Carter a call.

Is this the first time you are watching CNN?!
It has been always like this..nothing strange now!
What did they show when the Israeli's moved out of Gaza?
They showed so many Jews crying, showing their grief, the force used by the soldiers to evacuate them, they even showed that those Israeli's didn't even have time to take their clothes which were shown as hanging on the lines!!..oh my God soooo saaaad!!!
Remember that they have been given notice before one or two months to evacuate, but they refused to moved until the deadline came. Then when they were forced to move out, it was show in a way which would bring the world's sympathy.
Did they ever show how many Palestinians have left their houses during their 50 years of struggle with Israel's?!, how is their life condition in the refugees camps? Is it similar to what the Israeli's have enjoyed after moving from Gaza? what are the sufferings of Palestinians when the Israeli's just come and attack & breakdown their houses without any prior notice!
in the night, morning, anytime, anywhere!
So it is not new..search for truth from a trusted media who works for the right & the truth, not from the one which works for a government.

Hezbollah is not really interested in peace. They have their own agenda. And although I do not agree with what Israel is doing, Hezbollah started this and knew this was going to happen. The people of Lebanon are being used by Hezbollah.

They're protecting their countries the wrong way. Instead of ATTACKING Israel, they should DEFEND their own country. They are hipocrits, they say that they are protecting their people by killing people from Israel? They might have good intentions in their perspective, but these hostile actions are actually the cause of this war.
Israel is only trying to protect their own people from terrorists such as the Hezbollah.

What planet are you living on girl.
Hezbollah kidnapped to Israelis and that started this segment in this eternal stupid war. The civilians would not be getting hurt if Hezbollah would stop firing on Israel. I for one am sick and tired of this religious war, anyone who kills in the name of God is really on Satan’s side.

WAKE UP CALL!!!!
Please study up on Hezbollah roots and you will see the Iranian based backing along with Syria and their hatred for Israel.
Israel won't stand for this attack, since Hezbollah attacked first.
Protecting the Middle East, what liberal view told that lie?
