I accidently quadrouple threaded, can someone delete the other threads?
 
The attack is justifiable. But the way they are attacking is not quite so.

Repeated :p
 
God already damned Jesus D:

I agree with the crazy commie and the funny fascist :p.
 
The reason Isreal won the war against the arabic coalition that formed against them a few decades ago was due to there air superiority.They could bomb arabian tanks out of sky with pin point accuracy.

The Isreali military is an extremely capable one and beleive me they know how to aim missiles straight. However, because their goal is (most apparently) to destroy the lebanese infrastructure, they are bombing lebanon in away that causes the most damage collatorally.
 
thanks for that bliink.

So Why do you think that it is justifiable for Isreal to attack targets in lebanon?
 
I do not agree with the Iraq war, but that does not mean I don't think the US soldiers in Iraq don't have a right to defend themselves. Edit: I can also understand the Iraqi's wanting to kill them but at the same time I can't say it's unfair for the solidiers to defend themselves even if what their government did was wrong

Likewise I do not agree with what Isreal is doing to the palestinians, nor do I like the nature of the state of Israel, and I would most defitnatly support military action to give the palestinians a fair share of their country.
But Rockets from lebanon on Haiva do not help that cause, and even if they did I still would unserstand Israel wanting to defend themselves. But I can also understand Hezbollah firing it at them.
 
Ha, infrastructure as target! How do Lebanonese supposed to live after the war?

Will Iran be capable of beating down Israel?
 
Iran's shit, though they are the toughest opponents in the Middle-East.
Especially since they build alot of good missiles.

All hail to another Israel-Lebannon thread :D
 
you know what I think? I think that neither side has the justification to attack each other.
 
YEs, but Israel got attacked first. Israel has enough justification for an attack. But not on infrastructure.

Iran's shit, though they are the toughest opponents in the Middle-East.

They import missile tech and scuds from north korea.

Having just recently done a report on Iran's weapons capabilities, including missiles, I call bullshit.

Most of their missiles are SCUDs, which really aren't that great. Their better missiles are based on North Korean technology for the most part, which is fine, but somewhat unreliable.

All Iran has going for it is numbers. Their tanks suck, their planes suck, their missiles suck, their navy sucks. If Iran's going to win any conflict it's only going to be through human-wave attacks... or through biological and chemical weaponry.
 
I think your double posting is unjustifiable!
 
Hezbollah has this technique of launching rockets in a civilian area and when Israel strikes that area, there are a lot of casualities, which the Hezbollah plays up and everyone eats up.
 
No, they're brutal, horrible and with a complete disrespect of human lives.

yes that must be it, 700+ lebanese casualties and every single one of them must have been standing right next to a hezbollah fighter ..if that's true why has there only been 35 hezbollah deaths since fighting began?

Israel isnt exactly showing restraint when returning fire ...here's Qana as an example:

Associated Press eyewitness said:
The road into Qana bore witness to the fierceness of the Israeli airpower __ flattened homes and other buildings, cars that were shattered wrecks. The road was an obstacle course of bomb craters and stretches littered with debris from structures blasted into rubble by bombs.

In Qana, it wasn't initially clear where the latest missile had hit. There was so much damage in the village, houses with gaping holes, others with floors collapsed on to one another.


...Noor said her family stayed in Qana because they were too afraid to go. They had heard the stories about the dead on the road. Several people in their village had tried to flee. Some had died. Then they heard the road was closed because of the bombing.

Noor just knew one thing for sure: "I was afraid."

so much for the myth of israeli surgical strikes ..sounds more like carpet bombing to me

Maybe because their technique of shooting rockets, moving, and shooting more rockets is a good one? There's video proof that they're shooting rockets in areas that are heavy on civilians. What do you expect Israel to do - go in there with groundforces?

I'm not condoning killing anyone, but you have to realize that there are going to be major casualities in a war that's in fought in densely populated areas. And to be fair, wasn't it Hezbollah that launched the first attacks? I just think they broke the camels back this time and now shit is going to hit the fan.

If I was Israel myself, I would make sure I disarm Hezbollah completely because it's pretty obvious that they have ties to other terrorist factions and also have huge sway in the Lebanesse (sp?) government. What I would do after however, is send a lot of aid to show that they weren't going after civilians.
 
Israel's inability to limit their targets to Hezbollah and the mounting civilian casualties will give islamic extremists around the world more leverage with mainstream muslims.

But I wish India could do in PoK what Israel is doing in lebanon---minus the collateral damage,of course!!!!
 
They have a right to attack at the group that was rocketing their cities... but they're going way overboard, and being unnecessarily reckless causing many many civilians to die. It's awful.

They need to change their tactics, bigtime.

Well what would you suggest then? It's pretty easy to complain, but it's a little harder to come up with a solution. :stare:

If they are that desperate to get things done... they need to send their troops in by foot and mechanized transport to minimize the casualties that their bombs are apparently causing. Yes, there are the possibilities that civilians may still die, which is awful, but at least it'd be far less than the explosions are causing.
 
absolutely not! the civilians of lebanon do not deserve to be punished for hezbollahs actions. why cant they just love each other? its so amazing to me how mean people can be :(

Is angriness something only Israelis experience? D:

I'm not really on either side. On the one hand, you push the Israelis enough, and they're going to snap. On the other hand, snapping doesn't justify dropping bombs on civvies.

I think the whole situation is ****ed and both sides are doing bad things

ahhh, the pacifist high horse is grand

More of a paradox than anything else, but I don't think too many lawyers know that word.
 
I dunno what Lebanese people were thinking when they voted Hezbollah in the first place to be honest.
 
Correct me if Im wrong, but wasn't Isreals attack into lebanese territory initiated soley by hizbullah's capture of two isreali soliders and there killing of an isreali soldier? Didn't they capture those soldiers, ask for the release of prisoners in an isreali prison, and as a response isreal launched these attacks?

The rockets that hizbullah lauched over the isreali border were only a response to Isreals attack into lebanon werent they?
 
They did so before Israel's attack.
