I have no problem with Israel going after the Hizbollah guys that are firing rockets from the southern border of Lebanon into northern Israel.
That would be self defence.
What I find offensive is Israel's deliberate targetting of civilian infrastructure like power stations and fuel depots, the deliberate targetting of legitimate and highly visible aid convoys that include ambulances, telling civilians to leave their villages and then targetting their cars and trucks when they do.
My feeling is that Israel has been waiting for an excuse to take revenge on Lebanon for the bitchslap they were given in 2000.
This is not Israel v Hizbollah, this is Israel v Lebanon.
This will go on til Lebanon is fucked.
Hezbollah will never disappear. Attacking terrorist organisations only makes them stronger if you look at the history of the region.
Why doesn't Bush want a ceasefire?
Look at it this way - Israel is killing Arabs. The US supports Israel when they kill Arabs. Israel needs weapons with which to kill Arabs. The US supplies Israel with weapons. Israel gives the US lots of money for those weapons. That money goes towards funding the Iraq fiasco where, surprise surprise, the US is killing Arabs.
Rumsfeld and Cheney must be laughing their asses off!
