How many times does Israel have to be attacked, its soldiers kidnapped and rockets coming down in the north before its ok for them to retaliate? I get the feeling the world thinks its ok for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria and the like to just take over Israel and the Israeli's should just accept the consequences. At some point, somebody has to stand up and say Israel has a right to defend itself.
Thats my opinion anyway. Right now Hezbollah is trying to get those two Israeli soldiers into Iran. That is unacceptable on the world stage. It proves Iran is the force behind Hezbollah.

Maybe you don't know this but generally speaking, when countries find themselves attacked by an organized group, they tend to try and find the people responsible, try them and if found guilty imprison them. I think most people would have a lot of sympathy if Israel behaved in this civilised manner. However, Israel has a different approach. It goes and gets another big hand out from it's big brother and then bombs the hell out of any Sovereign State it happens to think might have some of the terrorists in it.

I perhaps should remind you, however, that this is not the debates forum and we don't like to have to think in here.

Generally speaking, I'd say this belongs in debates.

You know, the State of Israel, a sovreign entity with borders and everything? As opposed to "the region heretofore called Palestine by some people"?

Until the entity moved in and renamed the region?

Europe used to be made up of more than 300 separate entities. What's your point? That it would be okay to move in now and re-establish one of these dead states.

It wouldn't. And it wasn't right to resurrect Israel either.

Self-proclaimed sovereign entity. Rhodesia also declared unilateral independence. Lack of powerful friends saw it sink. Too bad.

I've been in that situation and I reacted like that.

How can you defend the killing of civilians who have no say over anything? That, my friend, is true hatred.

Even if he did react like that, it wouldn't follow that he isn't currently right to say that one shouldn't react like that.

You actually need to present a counterargument.
