The Arabs are human too. It must be very hurtful to see that their lives are being dismissed like those of a dead animal.
We as people are not responsible for what our Governments say or do (Bush and Blair), and therefore should not be held accountable. Arab leaders are wrong to call for the destruction of Israel. It's not the peoples call.

Yes. Unfortunately, innocent people are hurt or die in armed conflict, particularly when it is conflict between two different ethnic groups. Remember old WWII movies? They would portray the Japanese in horrible stereotypical ways. They didn't do it so much with the Germans.
One of the problems is that with dictatorships, they control the media, and the people only get the perspective the government wants them to have. But even here in America, there is a bit of a filter due the western perspective. I suppose no one ever gets the whole story. But because of the freedom of press, we get a bit closer to the truth.
My hope is there will be somehow a radical shift in Middle Eastern politics, so that the people have a voice and freedom, personal, religious, press. And I hope someday we will have a relationship like we have Japan. But that is a long way off.

Very true, yet the 7/7 bombers targeted innocent Brits because of what there leaders said and stated they were just as responcible and legitimate targets, they probably had no interest at all in leading anything but a quite life. That's not fair either.
I've heard a lot of one sided Islamic/anti Jewish arguments on here too, although not as many I admit.If you don't want to hear peoples oppinions, don't ask questions about race or religion.

Do you realize that Israel has actively aggressed against two Arab peoples clearly with the aim of thinning their civilian populations? they claim victimhood while they sytematically destroy Arab cities.
The big difference between the Zionists and many Arab states is that the Arabs are honest in their intentions, the Zionists play the victim card as thek killi kill kill.

thanks humanist. i appreciate what u are writing specially because u are not Lebanese and u are sharing our pain. Yes it is unfair. All our friends and relatives who live in America are high educated. u can find Lebanese between the best doctors in America, in NASA same, in business also...we are proud to be an intelligent people and don't ever had the feelings that we are less than other developed countries. but when i read these answers i feel .... at school our teacher used to tell us about the Israel-USA propaganda. they make films about terror in Arab land ... but i thought now the whole world can see the truth watching TV or by Internet ..but... thanks again Humanist for your concern.

You are dangerously wrong. The people of a country always have to take responsibility for the actions of their government. Otherwise your on the road to anarchy in your own country. I have noticed this dangerous trend developing in recent times, encouraged by the TV media.

I wish more arabs were like you humanist. The sad truth is many many are not and are very vocal about their wish to destroy everything israeli or western. Please don't change, I also hope you are able to influence others positively and maybe all this madness will go one day. Good luck.

I see a lot of hate here period, both sides of this need to learn to get along and comprimize. It is important to Arabs and Jews. It is also important to world peace.

"State of Israel" was created only yesterday on the destruction of another nation that existed since ever.

Just come on board, so haven't seen the rants to which you refer, however I agree with you 100%
People are people. They are also our "Neighbours". More so in this age of global travel.

Except for the isreal part....
Isreal occupied a land, and this land should be free, and it belongs to its owners.....
Thank you...
I wish there were more people like you in the world
