Innocent? ....somebody needs a little middle east history 101.
Hezbollah is more powerful, larger and better equiped then any islamic terrorism in the world.
The citizen's of Lebanon love Hezbollah, as does the rest of the Arab world.
You know what happened in the six day war? I'll tell you. Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt attacked Israel had Um Yippur, the holiest day in Israel. Everybody is celebrating in their homes, including military.
The enemy thought this would be pie. They were wrong.
8 hours after the attack the Israeli's led the largest air attack in Middle Eastern history.
Israel totally owned the Arab countries, in both air, sea and land.
Fun Fact: Israel, inspite of the passive aggressive Yum Kippur attack, returned the west bank and Golian heights back to Jordan and Syria in exchange for a peace aggrement.
You think the arab countries would have done the same?
Probably not.
IMHO, the current position Israel was in both before the Lebanon attacks justifies what they did.
Lebanese citizens are obviously pro-Hezbollah as is the itzy bitzy no-power government and police force. (They have no military, Hezbollah is their only military)
The fact that Lebanese citizens died is sad, but to say it was unnessecary is bogus and stupid.
Israel is a tiny tiny country surrounded by several powerful jew hating countries.
Put yourself in that position. They are fighting for survival. If somebody attacks them, they have to attack back 10/1. It's the way, especially with no-support from other european countries.
They say how much they hate global terrorism, and scream and preach about how awful Osama is but when Israel actually does something....Oh NO. Civilians DIED.
BURN EM!!!
It's war. That's how it goes. Israel has been cooperative then any Arab nation, to say they are commiting atrocities is bogus.
Saudi Arabia still has slavery.
Women are 2nd class citizens in every Islamic Country (also depends what muslim sect you are)
You put a Catholic, Jew, Christian and Budist in the same room...they most likely won't kill each other. You add some muslims in the room and not only will they attack the jews and christians, they will attack their own.
Iraqi citizens don't consider themselves as Iraqi, they think of themselves as Sunni, Shiite or Kurd. Each have there own way of living, there own culture and own political sways.
Same goes for most Islamic Theocracies.
