I admit no such thing. If the UN Security Council wanted to use force to implement SC 1559 it was up to them to say so in a resolution. Israel cannot do so on its own.
You have the ugly habit of stating your opinion and at the same time implicitely claim it to be a fact.
xs gave no link and I can find nothing supporting the claim that Israeli civilians were hit by rockets pre-Israeli bombing. I will say that there is a serious question whether the Israeli soldiers were captured in Lebanon rather than Israel. If so, it was Israel which was the aggressor beyond question.

I was under the impression that Israel initial air strikes were pre hisbollah rockets. The fact that Israel is still getting hit by rockets just goes to show that this conflict will not by sorted by its current methods.
Israel fears talking to the Arab world.
According to this 8 israeli troops were killed, and only two Lebanese civilians, when Israel called for UN resolutions to be enforced, and Hesbollah to be disarmed.
This was on July 12th.
I'll ask one more time.
How many Israelis should've died before an offensive would be justifiable ?
Originally posted by ivanhoeNo, Ivanhoe, that is how the UN Charter is set up. I'm sorry that you are so ignorant of it; perhaps you should take some time and study it. Only the Security Council can authorize force to enforce its resolutions. Period.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundYour question has been answered. Apparently Israeli TROOPS were killed and captured in Lebanon. How many Lebanese civilians do you feel that Israel is justified to kill in response to its soldiers being killed and captured in battle? A 1000? A 1,000,000?

Now your pretend love of life (non israeli life , that is), smarts of hypocrisy, and at least i have proof of my claim.

If your claim is that you aren't very bright, you've certainly proven that.
You do not think there is a link between Hamas, and Hesbollah then ?
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI don't know what that could possibly mean to you. I don't know what the relevance would be. Since you keep insisting on not presenting any arguments, I have no idea what you're trying to say. Please just come out and say something that actually makes sense regarding the topic.
you don't know what a link is ?
