Alright I might be a little late with this situation but seriously there are to many things going on in the world as we speak. We have another thread that was opened, by me, in reference to the North Koreans and after watching CNN all morning long with this whole Israeli conflict I had to come here and post what I have founed. Alright here we go(you know I love this):

Civilians have already died and an International Airport has become incapacitated. This is wrong in my opinion and the excuses being used by Israel to justify this campaign while the US looks the other way is wrong!

CNN has reported strikes by both Hezbollah and Israel.

Bush backs Israel's right to defend itself

this shows you what an idiot that fool is..
DEFEND?? for facks sake.. dont even get me started on this issue..

Michael

Hmmm, I agree with you, but the statement.....ehh...you know....more substance.

This is how I personally feel and if I offend someone I am truly sorry.

I think this is wrong from the US's part. I mean, look at the situation here. This group is trying to fight for its right to have a piece of land, which some will definitely argue for hours about, was theres to begin with. That is not the point here, so please feel free to flame that which was not necessary. I think the point here is that Israel is escalating things to a point which is not necessary. It is like they are finding a reason to attack Lebanon and the US is looking the other way. Now the US says that they ahve a right to defend themselves? When did the US launch strikes for the soldiers that were caught or killed? Or what about the hostages that were be-headed? Oh that is right you say F-18 hornets all ove that. yea right! This is an excuse for Israel to escalate things, and lets hope they don't. I know Iran is keeping an eye and so are other Middle Eastern nations. Arguably it could be said that this may be the beginning of WWIII becuase with NK and the Middle East in an uproar--whomevers fault it is--things are going to get ugly.

freakin ISRAEL is nutts.. where in hell does your religion or common sense justify killing of several thousands to save A SINGLE HUMAN BEINGS life???

they are out of control..and the whole world is just sitting and watching..without acting.. and i dont require that they help the palestinians..but if you are quitly watching now.. then shut the hell up and watch quitly when the sorrounding muslim nations go to attack on israel..

Ohh no that wont happen..then we will run to aid israel..

dont have words for this damn situation.. extremely upset.. ( please forgive me)

Michael

Its ok.

I can see your point and unfortunately you are right. It really is unfortunate that this situation is taking place.

i didn't have a chance to follow the news these days, but the links you provided, Mike, are very informative.

All i see is that a new world or middle east crisis is on the way. I don't know what the results might be, but one thing is sure. Filling up your car will cost even more...

the situation over there is spinning out of control so fast i have no clue what is going to happen. I guess you could say i support palestinians but in no way do i support the violence that they commit. Isreal on the other hand totaly took this and blew it up and took it one step to far. First they have been taking the Palestinians land for many years now, i had gotten very happy and thought that there was great progress when last summer?? they started to give it back. But now what they are doing is setting the palestinians farther and father back into the stone age. First they are blowing up homes blowing up all routes of transportaion airport roads. How do they justify all this? a missing solder. Now they are firing bombs at lebanon to and the part that i really cant stand is that my country (USA) is standing behind them and telling them to do what they have to do. Last week it was North Korea now its this, what is it going to be next week?

Michael

Update CNN is trying to confirm that the guerrillas are trying to transfer the prisoners of war to Iran.

audi_rudy

that could make things a thousand times worse to get iran involved. I just wonder if any other of the muslim countrys in the region will take any action against Isreal?

The Artist

they should.. imo..
