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.

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.

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

Maybe it's time you woke up and smelled the incursion.

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

How can you defend the killing of civilians who have no say over anything? That, my friend, is true hatred.
Originally posted by Mephisto 666Even 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.
