The Hizzbollah, even if are in Lebanon's government, cannot legally be there after resolution 15-59 (forgive me if I got the numbers wrong, it is cold and early here in Alaska). The Hizzbollah can easily go to Iran or Syria... both countries seem to share the same love for Israel as the Hizzbollah does. The "direct attacks" on civilian areas happened because those civilians were Hizzbollah or were hiding Hizzbollah weapons. It is not Israel's fault that the Lebanese support the Hizzbollah, it is Lebanon's fault for supporting a terrorist organization. Israel is not perfect, but most of these "Palestinians" were caught within Israel without any right to be there... it's like arresting Mexican workers in the US... Mexican workeres who are planning to blow themselves up. It is not in Israel's interest to bomb anything. Olmert did a terrible job with this offense. I was born half Jewish, but I am an Israeli citizen... even though that is not a citizenship I love to have.
It is amazing how I embody all those things when I haven't lived in Israel for the last 9 things. I just follow Israeli politics rather well. I myself a dodging the draft in Israel because I do not believe in how the govrnment handles things, especially in Gaza. You would usually find me in opposition to Israel's way of acting actions out, but I tend to agree with the action taken. How can I be brainwashed by the IDF censors and so if I do not even listen to them? Maybe you can think that I arrived to these conclusions by my own independent thought. I also believe that I am much more experienced in middle east politics and issues than 99.9% of people on this website. This includes your fanatic views too, LickHERish.
1559 only calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah, not it's disolvment. And their not as much elected as they are constitutionally mandated. The Shia would not join into Lebanons government if Hezbollah was not given political backing.
True, my bad... yet it is still no excuse. 1. They are the very same, the Hizzbollah have no separate parts. 2. The Hizzbollah controls Lebanon, now more than ever, they do not have to coordinate.
Hezbollahs military wing and political wing are rooted in the same ideology and funded by the same sources. But Hezbollahs actions are beyond government control. Lebanons government has no power over Hezbollah, and Hezbollahs militant base has more military power and now, seeming to have more political clout then Lebanons government.
You are the only fanatic repeatedly posting on these forums Rubin. Moreover, to suggest that your regurgitations of widely recognised Israeli state propaganda terminology, categorisations and claims demonstrate any understading of Middle East Politics in your brief handful of years of any legitimate claim to political awareness, is truly a laugh. In point of fact, the most heinously militant, terroristic, ethnocidal and extremist ideology behind generations of intentionally perpetuated conflict is the neo-colonialist apartheid ideology of the Israeli state and its racist institutions itself. Perhaps when youre prepared to actually investigate any analysis deeper than the latest Jerusalem Post hyper-nationalist lies, youll discover the true history of Israeli terrorism, crimes against humanity and war crimes (all duly spelled out in the Nuremberg Charter for handy and ready comparison of principle. Your lame excuses for the real terrorist state of the region shows you for the fanatic apologist you are.
I remember a guy called Pressed_rat used to say stuff like that. I can see you you know your stuff, however, as much as I hate to agree with Lickherish, you've shown too many obvious logical flaws as well as fanatically pro-israel statements for me to trust that you're truly being impartisan.
he's probably been brainwashed in a yeshiva or one the usual mind alterating programmes they have for the american jews.
Haha, I am the only person who has actually been to the region here, you people are silly. and guy, I do not go to any yeshivas and do not practice anything close to jewish rituals. I am opposed to all religions, especially fundemental jedaism and its effect on Israel.
i've been there amigo from what i've seen and heard would lead me to believe you are a fanatic, you are a perfect example of what is produced there.
In Israel, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon? I doubt it. Did you also happen to talk to politicians and locals alike? You say too little, so it is hard for me to call you a fanatic, I will just call you hateful.
i suspect that you're so hateful yourself that you would consider anne frank a self hating jew. when i go overseas i listen and learn and remember. i'll be off to that area of the world in a short while for my own self guided ancient history tour.
by all accounts the man who shot yitzak rabin is actually a likekable fellow. from my conversations with the fanatics of the west bank i learnt that whilst professing not to be being hateful, theire action, thoughts and plans were dark and macbre to say the least. i see this in you because you have exactly the same rhetoric as the fanatics of the west bank.
