Dude, I have seen the media switch those terms around, use one term to describe both places or use completely different (and irrelevant) terms for both Israeli and Lebanese "urban centers".

How biased and close-minded are you? You are so desperate and hell-bent on proving your case you have sunk down to digging in the desert for water.

The truth of the matter is that I am concerned that you actually believe that the acts or intents of the media (which cannot ever force you to do or think as they will) is more dangerous to the public than the power and will of your government (which can indeed f*** you or anybod up for any reason.)

Think about that. That's what it's all about. It's about your life.

Interesting observation. If there is any truth to the differentiation, I'd explain it as Hezbollah is attacking bigger targets for more effect, but Israel is trying to hurt fewer people, but I don't have any actual information on the number of people either side has killed. It is probably the wonderful bias you mentioned. After all, the US backs Israel.

Regardless of town or cities, so long Hezbollah continue to shoot rockets within residential Lebanese area, Israel must attack and destroy those launchers, even if residences next to it are destroyed. Israel has been warning Lebanese civilians days before attacks to try an minimize civilian casualties.

Let me remind you how this current situation began:

BUT FOR Hezbollah going on Israeli soil, killing 8 and kidnapping 2 soldiers, Israel would not be in Lebanon, waging war to destroy Hezbollah and its stronghold. Israel left Lebanon 6 years ago, and during this time Lebanon allowed Hezbollah (with the support of Syria and Iran) to build large munition with rockets pointing to Israel. That cannot be allowed, period.

Lebanon has been occupied and controlled by Syria for decades. The beautiful Lebanon, the French Riviera of the Middle East was destroyed in the Lebanese civil war in the 60's and 70's. The Christian minority that ruled Lebanon and brought it to its splendor has been overtaken by the vilolent Islamic extremists.

Hezbollah is accepted in parts of Lebanon because the population truly has absolutely no say and no choice in the matter. If you oppose Hezbollah, you die. The Lebanese Prime Minister Harriri was assassinated for opposing the Syrian occupation. The current Lebanese government is helpless.

Israel wants peace and recognition of its existence. The Muslim extremists, including Syria and Iran regimes want Israel wiped off the face of the earth, and have repeatedly said so. Israel has absolutely no interest in claiming Lebanon, or any other Arab country.

The Muslim world has missed every opportunity to make peace with Israel. When a Muslim country and brave leader did make peace with Israel (the late Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat), he was assassinated by Iranian-backed group.

It's time for Muslims to take accountability for their religion and culture. Stop spinning, and address the fact that the Muslim culture is one of the most oppressive and violent cultures, against its own people, and certainly against other cultures.

For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?

Israel must be given the opportunity to continue the work to destroy the terrorist group Hezbollah up to its leader. It would be to the benefit of Lebanon, Israel, the Middle East, and the World to rid of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrian and Iranian regime. It must be done to finally have a chance for peace in the region.

Well, who owns and controls the media? When was the last time a broadcaster even pretended to be objective, for that matter?
