"Firefighters and school officials respond after a high school in northern Israel is hit by Katyusha rockets for the third time in two weeks. "

This is in response to those that accuse Israel of being the bad guy. They have been terrorized for decades be hezbollah...which is a terrorist group assembled by Syria and Iran JUST TO TERRORIZE JEWS.

Time and time again Israel has tried to make peace with its neighbors, by giving into their demands. Israel just wants to live in peace and quiet. This is why Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon in 2000 and from Gaza last year.

These withdrawals have only led to violence. In the north, Hizbollah has amassed a large arsenal of weapons in Israel's absence, that it is now shooting down onto Israel. Gaza has become a terrorist haven. As soon as Israel withdrew the began further attacking Israel. The 'palestinian' culture is one of hatred and violence - and cannot exist without it. The cannot accept peace, and won't allow it to happen.

"Palestinians" were a people created in the last century solely for the purpose of waging a campaign of violence against Israel. 50 -75 years ago the term "palestinian" meant Jew, but today the local Arabs have coined themselves 'palestinian' and have created a culture of hatred and violence. These are values taught to young children in schools. Peace and tolerance are not taught.

Israel has movements such as "shalom achshav" that preach peace at any cost. These groups are free to criticize the Israeli at any time. Why is there no Arab version of "shalom achshav".

Througout history, every Israeli overture of peace has resulted in more violence. In 1947 / 48 Israel agreed to a 2 state solution. The Arabs response was War. In 1993 the Oslo accords began the handing of autonomous power to the 'palestinians'. This lead to an increase in regular suicide bombings. Buses all over Israel were bombed on a regular basis. In 2000 Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak agreed to give to the palestinians 97% of the land Israel captured in the 1967 war from Jordan and Egypt (not Including the Sinai that was already given away). The 'palestinians' did not accept this. They were offered a state, and they said NO! Their response - the second Intifada. Finally, last year Israel withdrew fro Gaza, this resulted in IMMEDIATE violence, including the daily bombing of Sderot and Ashkelon, in addition to the more recent kidnapping of an Israeli soldier.

In summary, Israel offers peace, arabs respond with violence. To me, this justifies military action. Israel already attempted diplomacy and good will. This was flat out rejected. The arabs want a war, and now they have one.

Israel needs to root out these 2 terrorist organizations, and make the WORLD a safer and better place to live.

To kill civilians is wrong. Israel has killed 10 times more civilians than Hezbollah did.

Additionally, Their rockets are not smart unlike Israel's smart bombs

Also the accuracy is somewhat not so high with Katyusha.

One more thing. In Israel people have shelters(almost every building does). Not so much so on the other side of the border.

If you watch what Hassan Nasser Allah says on TV, he says that when Israel targets civilians, he would respond with the same. And if you were following closely the order of attack and the counter attack from both sides, you would find that the escalation was always started south of the border.

And yes, the western media does lie regarding the order of the events, I did even catch the AP two days ago do just that.

FYI, more than 195 countries in the world do not consider Hezballah a terrorist organization. Only 6 countries do.

1. don't confuse Jews with Israel. Israel is an occupant, Jews are homeless and many do not support such extreme policies.On the other hand Hezbollah is a Shi'ah ideology but supported by majority of Lebanese.
2. war does not recognize bad/good guy (both parties are participating)
3. Israel defeated Arab nations in 6 days, but it could never defeat Hezbollah for almost 19 years.
4. Do not compare Iran and Israel militarily, there are other elements to be taken into account. For example, by closing Persian Gulf you and your parents would be unemployed in west coast.(because you probably don know what persian gulf is you can google it).
5. I like it when mentally retarded people like you reach a judgement, because I realize how successful the media is to brain wash your empty head for futures purposes (later elections).
I hope my vocabulary does not surpass your limits!!

Hezbollah has also has ties to a certain organization of nations that are meant to be united who call new York city home, but who seem to hate America.

I've said it before and I will keep on saying it-If Israel wanted to be the big, bad guy, they could mop the floor with every other nation in the Middle East. If the Muslims don't quit poking the Israeli dog, they are gonna get bit.

The first thing it would take is to get rid of predjudice. That is the root problem. Most illegals are illegal because of the red tape and hoops they must jump through to become a citizen. Maybe if someone would just help educate them about the process and give them the assistance that they need to complete it, they could get it right the first time. Hell it's hard enough just getting an address changed on a drivers license. But once they become a citizen it still doesn't mean that all Americans will welcome them with open arms.

Israel and Hezbollah are both in the wrong. Hezbollah fires rockets indiscriminately into Israel killing innocent civilians; Israel bombs the roads and airport, then expects civilians to leave before they start firing guided missiles at civilian infrastructure where there MIGHT be Hezbollah.. :\

I do not believe Israel has to answer to anyone. If the Mexican army kidnapped two of our (U.S.) soldiers, Mexico would be flattened, there would be civilian casulties galore and we would get our soldiers back. It would make Lebonan look like Disneyland. Israel has a right to defend herself. Dont forget, Israel did not attack first. Just like we did not attack first in Afghanastan. We attacked only after 9/11. Israel attacked only AFTER its soldiers were kidnapped.

Yes, but how did *this* current war start? Apparently with a kidnapping of 2 soldiers in response to Israel bombing a family picnicking on a beach. Immediately Israel saw this as an excuse to invade Lebanon. Israel is breaking International Treaties and United States Laws by their actions. We have witnessed almost 1 million displaced people, hundreds of innocent lives lost and the utter destruction of civilian infrastructures in Gaza and Lebanon. Rafi Ginat, editor of Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's largest newspaper, said, "I am prepared to hail down hellfire on the Hezbollah terrorists, their aides, their collaborators, all those who turn a blind eye to them and everyone who so much as smells of Hezbollah and their innocent bystanders can die instead of ours." The Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to the Israeli attack on the Lebanese town of Qana, in which many civilians were killed, that "according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as 'innocents' of the enemy." The killing of innocent men, women and children must be denounced at all levels and by all faiths. People of conscience and faith must set an example and distance themselves from all acts of terrorism. If we don't set an example, who will? I suggest you study your history: In 1982, following a year without any PLO skirmishes over the Lebanese-Israeli border, Israeli armed forces invaded Lebanon anyway. They created a path of destruction all the way to Beirut and militarily occupied south Lebanon for 18 years before they withdrew, except for retaining Shebaa Farms. In 1982, the New York Times reported "indiscriminate bombing" of Beirut by Israeli planes. At least 20,000 Lebanese civilians lost their lives in that invasion and many more were injured. From that conflict Hezbollah was born, composed of many people whose relatives were casualties in that illegal invasion. Do you really think Israel's actions are going to bring peace? It seems to me they will only create more terrorists. The only way out of the carnage is an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, followed by multiparty negotiations to resolve the underlying political disputes based on human rights and international law. Most of the world agrees, but the governments of the U.S., Britain, and Israel have so far rejected calls for an immediate cease-fire.

So what ? Israel is just as guilty now for killing innocent women and children.

Both side have much to answer for, although both sets of supportrts always want to blame the other side, whilst excusing their own.

I am happy to admit that I consider both side to be responsible.
