HERE ARE SOME FACTS:
TWO NOTES:
1-Hezbulla started this crisis when they snatched two Israeli soldiers. BUT WHY? Well, so as to recover Lebanese civilians in the Israeli jails. Some of these prisoners have been in the Israeli jails for more than 28 years.

2-In this crisis, Hezbulla never fired rockets at the northern Israeli cities UNTIL Israeli jets bombarded Beirut and tens of towns everywhere in Lebanon. Hezbulla warned the Israelis that if they didn't stop targeting civilians, Hezbulla would retaliate (Eye for an eye). The Israelis ignored that, and after about 100 civilians were killed in the capital (Beirut) and other towns, Hezbulla retaliated firing rockets. Every day Hezbulla declared that: If Israel stops targeting civilians, we will stop firing rockets, and restrict fighting to confrontation in the real battlefield. Israel ignored every warning.

I PERSONALLY think that the Israelis themselves wanted Hezbulla to keep firing rockets so as to tell the world that Hezbulla is targeting civilians.

OTHER FACTS TO KNOW:
1- Hezbulla fighters fought bravely in the real battlefield on the borders.

2- When the Israeli soldiers who were hiding in their armored tanks tried to get in, they were faced with a precise shooting of "shoulder rockets" by Hezbulla fighters.

3- When a tank was destroyed, the other Israeli soldiers tried to recover the casualties. At that time, Hezbulla used the light weapons shooting them.

4- Every incident of that type caused at least 4 to 5 dead Israeli soldiers. That's why we normally had at least 4 to 5 dead soldiers in one shot.

5- Hezbulla fighters happened to be waiting in trenches, bunkers, among trees ...on the front line.

6- They ambushed every single incursion of the Israelis, and directly hit.

7- As a matter of fact, they were not hiding in the bunkers, but taking well-prepared positions to DEFEND their soil and territory.

8- Most of the Israeli soldiers forwarded to the land battlefield were reservists, who were called while they were spending time drinking alcohol and dancing. So, we had Israeli drunkards fighting against believers of a lofty goal.

9- The Israeli soldiers thought that they were going on a picnic or trophy and that they would hunt Hezbulla one by one.

10- Those soldiers didn't know that a Hezbulla fighter was fighting to defend his land and family.

11- Knowing every inch of their land, Hezbulla fighters were applying the Vietnam style.

12- When the Israeli convoy captured a hill, they thought that it had become theirs. But the Hezbulla fighters waited till night, then launch assault.

13- I would think that most of the soldiers were killed while fleeing back across the borders.

14- It seemed that there were no Hezbulla fighters in the northern parts of Lebanon where the Israelis targeted civilians. So, what happened was that: Hezbulla fighters face-to-face fought on the borders, while the Israeli jets bombarded the civilians in the north.

16- This last fact is to wrongly vindicate Israel killing civilians.

17- The Israelis thought that Hezbulla fighters would surrender so as to save the civilians in the northern cities. But All Lebanese (Muslims & Christians) united and supported Hezbulla because they knew that the Israelis were killing them intentionally.

18- A VERY SIMPLE finding is that: Hezbulla were fighting to defend, while the Israelis were just killing civilians.

19- The Israelis proved to be cowards. HOW? well, I bet that if you stood behind an Israeli soldier and all of a sudden shouted: "HEZBULLA" ... I bet he would die of a heart attack.

20- Another fact is: Hezbulla were fighting for themselves, the Israelis fought for their leaders.

21- Mainly, Hezbulla were not firing rockets at Israeli northern cities to kill. Coz they know that almost every Israeli was hiding in the shelters. RATHER, Hezbulla was aiming at causing fear and shock, causing damage in retaliation of the damage inflicted among Lebanese civilians, and to trigger opposition in Israel to stop war.

22- The Israeli army (especially the jet fighter pilots) tried their best to kill as many civilians as possible, so as to presumably show that they were winning. They thought that the Israeli people would say: "Well done! We are winning. See the casualties on the other side."

23- Hezbulla were located in the south (approximately 20X20 miles area). Nevertheless, almost 99% of Lebanese civilians were killed in the northern cities (200 miles away from the borders).
That's why they name the killing "MASSACRES".

24- The spearhead of Israeli army (Golani Brigade) is considered the elite. Well ; are they really?

25- I personally strongly believe that the winner was Hezbulla. WHY? Well, all Hezbulla's goals were achieved, and all Israel's were not.

HOW:

Israel's goals:
1- Recover the two soldiers (not achieved).
2- Disarm Hezbulla (not achieved).
3- Prevent Hezbulla from firing rockets (not achieved).

Hezbulla's goal:
No soldiers to return to Israel without swap of prisoners (via indirect negotiations)… (so far VALID.)

MOREOVER: Israel finally accepted negotiations for swap of prisoners. (seems to me that they wanted to save two by killing 115 of their fellows)

SO:
The last figures according to the Israeli well-known "Haaretz" newspaper are as follows:
http://www.haaretz.com/
22:48Israeli death toll in war with Lebanon reaches 147 (Haaretz)

LEBANON:
1200 civilians (600 children/ 120 mothers/ old men ... etc.)
56 Hezbulla fighters (killed in the real battlefield.)

ISRAEL:
32 civilians (mostly Arabs.)
115 soldiers (mainly killed while fleeing or gathering to recover bodies and tanks.)


HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCES:
1-Arab people now believe that the normal armies in their countries are complacent and work only as a bodyguard for the rulers. Therefore, I think we will witness births of many resistance groups in the Middle East to protect their peoples.

2-A full generation in Lebanon and Arab countries will be raised up on avenging what has happened to their CIVILIAN brothers in Lebanon.

3-Israel has endangered its existence in the region because it has uncovered all its savagery and intentional killing, massacres, destruction and brutality.

4-America can not stand too long supporting Israel, because it has now to fight the people not the regimes. Perhaps you know what it means to fight a people or a people to fight. NO CONSPIRACY, NO COMPLACENCY!

5-Every emerging resistance group will probably be receiving DIRECT support from almost every single person in the region.

6-The Bush's "Greater/Broader Middle East" notion has failed, and so has the Condi's "New Middle East".

A last – but not least – finding is that: No surviving child in Lebanon would forget his 5-member family killed by the American-made warplanes, American-donated smart bomb, piloted and dropped by an Israeli jet-pilot.

SEE YOU NEXT EPISODE.

Answer 2

Israel suffered a lot of damage and a lot of casualties.

As strong as Israels army was, and as many soldiers they sent out to do the job, they still did not "win"

Today both sides are claiming victory....because they have to follow their agenda and continue to feed their people propaganda.

Each side needs to lay down their arms forever....will this day ever come? I do not know...

Answer 3

NO NO NO!!! there is a cease fire in affect while a peace agreement is being worked out. that was no war it was more of an armed scuffle

Answer 4

Until there is ‘peace’ in the Middle East, there are no winners!

Answer 5

Answer 6

they sure reached the river and dropped millions of nanobots

Answer 7

hahaha of course they didnt. this was a humiliating defeat for israel.

Answer 8

The lesson is that hatered and pride lead to misery. The Israeli government in trying to maintain it's pride attacked Lebanon to gain 2 kidnapped Israeli soldiers, and in doing so they caused the loss of many innocent Israelis and Lebanese, only Satan won the war.

Eventually they will realize that the evils of impatience, hatered, pride, and anger are foolish and that patience, forgiveness, love, and humbleness is the wise path of happiness and peace.

Both peoples believe in Satan, yet they let satan take over their minds and leave them in collective sorrows, when will they realize that Satan's plan is to divide, deceit, and to tempt to bring pain to others, which just leads to a miserable evil cycle of hatered and revenge, both peoples are racial brothers and sisters yet they kill each other over land, when all land belongs to God and they both worship the same one God, whom strongly warns against the killing of innocent people, this is why they will have to give up the evil concept of accepting the killing of innocent people as a part of war. All the skirmishes between Israel and Hezbollah have led to nothing but misery and evil sense of pride. God is with the righteous, righteousness has no particular nation, race, or religion, righteousness is with each individual, and the true believers in God stand up against the evil they seem amongst their family, community, and nation, and all the prophets of the Quran and the Old and New Testament are examples of people whom God blessed for having faith in no one but God and rising up against the evils around them with goodness and righteousness. The coming of this day is predicted by the Old and New Testament and the Quran, that people who believe in God will not fully read the holy scriptures and thus will get tempted by Satan and become hypocrites, and God has no sympathy for hypocrites. To God, hypocrites are worst than all other evil people, God forgives all except those who remain stubborn hypocrites. Maybe this is why the region has not seen any peace, because they worship God yet they believe in nations, race, revenge, and pride.

All the people of the region believe in the coming of someone to save them from chaos, but God will punish them with severe calamities before he sends the savior, because God gave us the ability to solve our problems, because God gave man free will, whereas animals rely on impulse/instinct, free will to in refraining from the nature of evil: pride, jealousy, hatered, fear, self-doubt, self-guilt, faithlessness, impatience, anger, ruthlessness, recklessness, anxiousness, self-indulgence, disunity, self-conceit, excess, distraction and hopelessness. And in embracing God and goodness in the nature of good: humbleness, love, fearlessness, confidence, faithfulness, patience, perseverence, mercy, unity, simplicity, hopefulness, self-esteem and calmness.

Once you understand the nature of good and the nature of evil, you can see why ultimate victory belongs to good and God.

In scientific terms evil is the monkeyish part of our brain, that relies on impulse and instinct, but we can stop flow of blood to those parts of the brain by enjoining in the nature of good by having faith in God, so that the serotonin of our brain spreads out allowing our brain to function confidently and give us mental clarity so we can aid in ridding evil in others by showing them the wise and humble straight path of goodness.

Only a few follow good and the many follow evil, because that is the nature of evil, evil attracts the popular culture of society, it is only the few whom have the strong will power and faith in God in rising above the evils of ones culture and seeking the honor of God above the honor of people, so one can save ones society and ultimately, humanity.

It is a sign of the times that those whom follow the straight and narrow path in all their dress, actions, and words are branded eccentric/weird and those whom do evil are considered normal, so one should be confident if one is looked at as weird or eccentric, all the prophets were considered eccentric and weird in rising up against the evils of their civilization, and the reward was peace of mind in face of adversity and heaven in the hereafter. The evil people try to achieve a peace of mind by engaging in fornication, adultery, self-indulgence, excess, flattery, music, drugs, war, and genocide. While the faithful people have so much self-esteem and self-confidence that they don't need any material thing to stay happy and thus they can refrain from the foolish paths of evils.
