If Israeli soldiers are not cowards, WHY when facing Hezbulla brave fighters, they happen to be?

Question

PLEASE refrain from coining Hezbulla as "terrorists". PLZ answer thoughtfully if you wish to!

Answer 1

I am assuming you are referring to the fact they they drop endless bombs but don't take on Hezbollah directly. Well I think it is tactical. I think they are trying to make the Lebanese feel that Hezbollah is failing them and that they are dying because of their failures and make the Lebanese get rid of them. That isn't going to work though because their loyalty is too strong for Hezbollah and their hatred for Israel is even stronger.

Answer 2

We have to get some things straight. Israel is a country. Some consider it a terrorist country or another insult or such... Though, it IS a country.

Next, Hezbollah knows its a terrorist organization. It knows. That's what it wants and you may call them freedom fighters or something else good or something bad but the word for them is terrorist. They are the definition. I'm not saying all terrorists are bad or good, just gotta learn about defining things!

My opinion on the matter is this:

That Israel, like every country and every person on the planet has a right to defend him/herself from attacks. What Israel does NOT have a right to do is oppress Palestinians, kill innocent Lebanese civilians, or over-react. I know it is difficult for Israel, being surrounded by enemies, but they should also understand that they have a lot of military might and have to learn how to use responsibility. I don't support terrorism, I don't support Lebanon, I don't support Israel. I just support human life. Everything else is second to people living.

The only ones in a war who should die are the warriors. I know that is utopian and is hard to accomplish, but it should be a major goal and shouldn't be pushed to the side just because it's hard. It's ridiculous to believe that because something's hard or you think it's impossible that you shouldn't try. Sometimes trying.. and getting part of the way there... Can save hundreds to millions of lives.

Hezbollah has a right to be angry. They are doing what they believe in.

So is Lebanon.

So is Israel.

So is America.

And so are you. All sides are equally stupid. End of story.

Answer 3

Don't die for your country, make some other bastard die for his. When you go into someones homelands you are at a disadvantage in knowing the hazards placed before you, so you advance with caution. It's not cowardice. The U.S. and Israel both went into these wars the wrong way. They should have used all of it's weapons to level the capital of the enemy to set an example. Then ask who's next?

Answer 4

It's a little unclear as to the question. "They happen to be" what?

A parallel question to this could be, "if Hezbulla are not cowards, why do they stir up trouble and then hide behind civilians?"

Answer 5

So why is it you think of they are cowards? Is Hezbollah's shelling Israeli cities defense force objectives? i think of no longer! that's why they have invaded Lebanon- to combat genuine battles with Hezbollah- to no longer do like Islamic militants and do the deed then conceal between civilians. i think of Israel has submit with sufficient.

LOOK AT THE COWARD ISRAELIS

DETROIT FREE PRESS:

Israeli troops see tough foe

July 24, 2006

BY BENJAMIN HARVEY



ON THE ISRAEL-LEBANON BORDER -- Israeli soldiers returning from the front in Lebanon talk of battling an intelligent, prepared and ruthless guerrilla army whose fighters don't seem to fear death.

The troops describe Hizballah guerrillas hiding among civilians and in underground bunkers two or three stories deep -- evidence, they say, that Hizballah has been planning this battle for many years.

"It's hard to beat them," one soldier said. "They're not afraid of anything."

The soldiers, most of whom declined to give their names under orders from superiors, described exchanges of gunfire in between houses on village streets, with Hizballah rebels sometimes popping out of bushes to fire Kalashnikov rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles.

The troops' comments underscored the enormous challenges Israel faces as it seeks to neutralize Hizballah, which captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid July 12, provoking a fierce Israeli response.

Despite Israel's enormous firepower, which already has killed 380 Lebanese, some military analysts say the fighting isn't going particularly well for the Jewish nation. It has been unable to push the guerrillas back significantly or stop hundreds of their rockets from slamming into northern Israel.

For the past few days, Israel has been fighting for control of the tiny southern Lebanese village of Maroun al-Ras, located on a hilltop less than 500 yards across the border. The army said it had taken the village, but officers at the scene confirmed there was still fighting to do.

"They're not fighting like we thought they would," one soldier said of Hizballah. "They're fighting harder. They're good on their own ground."

One soldier said the guerrillas wore olive green army uniforms "to confuse us" because Israelis wear the same. Others said Hizballah members hid underground in reinforced bunkers until they thought it safe to come out and attack.

"It will take the summer to beat them," said Michael Sidorenko, 21. "They're not normal soldiers, you know. They're guerrillas. They're very smart."



THEY WERE ALWAYS COWARDS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. DID YOU EVER SEE ISRAELI SOLDIERS FIGHTING ONE ON ONE? NEVER. THEY'RE ALWAYS ETHIER IN THE SKY BY AIRPLANES THROWING BOMBS, OR FAR FAR AWAY, OR YOU SEE SIX ISRAELI SOLDERS ON ONE PALESTINE KID.


YA, LIKE HEZBOLLAH HAS ANY WEAPONS... WHILE THE COWARDS GET ALL THE NEW BOBMS/WEAPONS AND SH*T FROM AMERICA AND EVERY OTHER CONTRY.

Answer 7

I am a veteran of 10 years military experience, 3 years US Army,
7 years US Coast Guard. The IDF is one of the greatest and
most courageous fighting machines ever produced by mankind.
Hezbollah shields itself behind women and children. If they
are not cowards and terrorists, then please tell us what type
of vermin they really are.
