Israel's excuses for the killing of innocent Lebanese civilians...

[bridgit]

are becoming very tired and predictable imo

[Kagemusha]

1. What gets me is when Israel undermines the excuses itself

like arguing the building with the 37 kids had weapons inside the building itself but Israel claims it brought the building down by mistake in attacking a launch position in the same village but not at the building itself.. and this statement doesn't bother anyone claiming on DU or elsewhere that there MUST have been weapons.

4. i am about to conclude for myself "so what if they did?"...

Israel knows perfectly well 'the score' she is compiling, a rocket here a rocket there causing a grass fire it's absurd, perhaps she would do better keeping her powder dry & holding fire till she can see the whites of their eyes, it is all becoming too disgusting and Israel is in too many cases of late simply mouthing the stance of the bush admin :thumbsdown:

a strategy such as that is already on schedule for failure on a colossal worldwide scale

2. I agree, and the deliberate targeting

of the U.N. post and the murder of its observers should have been the last straw for any of the Israel-is-never-wrong crowd. It boggles my mind that anyone can possibly support what Israel is doing now, and I'm ashamed and infuriated that my own tax dollars are paying for it.

5. again disgusting imo...

7. Oh, come on LH

Israel is just "defending herself" from those sleeping babies, who as we all know are (pick the correct answer):

a) sleeping with missiles

b) being used as (very tiny) human shields

c) being tutored as terrorists - subliminally

d) being slaughtered


Sadly, I know the answer.

Were it only that everyone did.

3. When you live in mortal danger year round then maybe you can be critical.

6. water rights...water rights in a desert region are very important...

to the continued prosperity & economic future of a people in a desert region...there were many ways to diffuse what has become a fiasco friend

8. I'm sure the Lebanese and Gaza and the Palestinians

know all about "living in mortal danger year round." That's been their experience for a very long time, now. They've suffered far more, and are in much more danger from Israel, than the other way around. But what the hell, they're all just terrorists, right? And the babies are gonna grow up to be terrorists, too, so screw 'em. Sounds suspiciously like the "who cares, they're just Jews" sentiments during the 1930's and WWII.

9. We do, don't we? What happened to the War on Terra?

And, regardless, we can exercise critical thinking, thanks.
