If israel stops the fighting' date=' doesnt mean hizballa will too. Then it would be a one sided attack.[/quote']

Its better than a two sided attack. There won't be as many people dying each day.

The Israeli forces have proven that they are far better at killing people than Hezbollah, 900:70 about twelve times better. If the Israeli forces stop fighting, there will be 92% less bloodshed.

this is all true however I read something very intresting today in a local paper !

oh, I'd like to follow up on my plan for Israel to send the repairs bill to the Lebanese government for every rocket attack that Hezbollah throw over. For every Israeli civilian that gets killed in such a rocket attack, the Israelis get to execute one of the Hezbollah prisoners.

 

Make it quite clear that its a life for a life.

 

And this will be at the same time that the Israeli government is ploughing money into the Lebanese healthcare and education services, and offering tax breaks to Lebanese businesses that work with Israel and Israeli businesses that work with Lebanon.

 

Thus demonstrating the benefits of Peace and Love and the consequences of violence and murder.

I'll address this by breaking it into bullet points:

• How is it not defending itself
  By destroying a nation's infrastructure, killing at least 750 civilians, firing missiles into residential areas. You're getting militant Hezbollah confused with the entire nation of Lebanon
  
• they (israel) have no other option but to attack,
  They always have options not to attack, you can chose to resort to violence or not to
  
• otherwise more Israeli's will die
  Fewer Israelis would have died, fewer Lebanese would have died, fewer people would have died. They would have died at a slower rate than all out war. Maybe if in the past few weeks if Israel had retaliated, only 7 Israelis would have died. Seven too many you may say. But at the moment due to the retalitalory action its around 60 Israeli's who have died, thats 60 too many. But also 750 Lebanese civilians have been killed, seven times as many. But that's okay, cos compared to the war in the Congo, where 7 million lives have been lost. 7 Israeli's dying is still a tragedy, but its a million times better
  
• thus making what they do self defense.
  No, it makes it retalitory action
  
• israel didnt go out looking for trouble, it was attacked and the only to make their country safe is to destroy the attackers.
  Small minded-ness there are many other ways to make a country safe
  
• Its quite simple
  No its very complicated, and all sides are quite stubborn on the issue
   
  Right, I live in Scotland, but I'm from Manchester England, part of the UK. The UK comprises of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland they have a militia called the IRA who rather hate the English. Throughout the 80s and 90, they raged a terrorist war against the English. I was in Manchester the day they set off the largest bomb to go off in mainland Britain since WWII in the city centre. I've seen it reduced to rubble with my own eyes.
  Rather than start bombing Northern Ireland and Ireland from whence the IRA got their weapons and safehouses, we just very slowly engaged in the peace process. People were still killed by the IRA, but fewer people. And now its just a bunch of politicians in Northern Ireland bickering and arguing, but not bombing anyone.
   
  Imagine if some of the Lebanese folk were Coldplay fans, it is possible. There were all these music festivals planned for the summer, Deep Purple were playing, who knows, next year it could have been Coldplay.

 

 

yes you can chose not to use violence and let your enemy kill you....the allies in ww2 could have done the same thing, but would have lost. you can ALWAYS chose not to use voilence but why when they are going to kill you?

 

the only way israel will be safe is hezbollah is gone, and that can only be done with a military, that means NO OTHER option then to strike back.

It could have gained the support of some of the Lebanese people, maybe not all of them, maybe most of them, who knows without trying?

But of course after all that's happened now, it would be a lot more difficult. But peace and love is a bloody good idea and its always worth a try.

Stop the bombing, offer blood money for the dead.

Every time a Hezbollah rocket comes over send the bill for repairs the Lebanese government.

 

And if the war stops now, and in a year another one starts, thats a whole year that people have to live that they won't have if the war doesn't stop right now. and if the war does start again next year on another border, then that war can stop too, cos you've done it before.

 

The whole situation does suck, and the way out is to stop the fighting as quickly as possible.

 

Everytime it starts, stop it again, as quickly as possible.

 

Cos Peace and Love is a bloody good idea

 

 

its a good idea, sadly on planet it earth it isnt possible alot of the time. no matter how much ONE side may want peace it take TWO sides for it to happen. and when hezbollah does not want peace then it CANNOT happen. you do not see this? it takes 2 to tango

Did you miss all my posts about other means to get rid of/diminish the strength of Hezbollah?

 

I tell you, this is why I'm never going to win the Nobel Peace Prize, I try and I try.

The same can be said for war, it takes two to tango.

Okay, I'm going to stop posting for while to let you catch up so we don't keep bumping into each other.

 

See you tomorrow, I think we've made good progress today, more than the UN anyhoo

but in the case of war you can have a war or a slaughter....israel is choosing war instead. so israel has a choice either to keep being attacked and do nothing or do something about it. its stupid to think a nation should be attacked and its leader do nothing about it.
