Reply #122: What you present is but one of several biased views [View All]

God knows that Israel has enough biased views, so I'm not going into much detail. However, you're spouting off Hezbollah talking points -- not internal comments, but those directed at European and American audiences.

The Hezbollah perspective is that Israel was defeated in the Golan. This may, MAY even be accurate. Or Israel may have been looking for peace and international support. Needless to say, even after Israel withdrew from Golan and gave hezbollah what they wanted, Hezbollah wanted more. They wanted israel destroyed; they kept attacking.

For the record, I'm with you all the way on deliberately attacking civilan infrastructure. Cilvilians get killed in war. That is tragic. I still haven't seen decent proof of medical or dairy plants, though I may be wrong). Going out of one's way to attack electricity, as was done in Gaza, is unforgivbable. However, ports of entry -- land, air, or sea -- are a legitimate target. Why would ANYONE go to war and allow their enemy to resupply at will? The 500,000 fleeing Shias couls just as easily be linked to Hezbollah as it could to Israel.

What I don't see is much motivation for Israel to go completely berserk and strike randomly into Lebanon. However, Hezbollah, who's stated goal is the death of Jews no matter where they are, seem to have a motivation.

Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah apologized for an attack that killed two Israeli Arab children in northern Israel, saying the youngsters were "martyrs for Palestine." No mention of Israeli Jews...
