Topic: Isreal attacks targets in Lebanon
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/...ast/index.html
Ok here's what I dont get. Everybody knows I am not a big fan of the Isreali Government, however in this case I can perfect understand Isreals right to defend itself. What I don't understand is why Isreal is attacking Lebanon and not attacking Syria. Hezbollah started this mess, and everybody knows they take orders from Syria not Lebanon. They operate independant from the Lebanese government and dont take any orders from them. The Lebanonese HATE the Syrians. If Isreali really wants its soldiers back it should be turning up the pressure on Syria. |

Problem is, this overt head-on military assault isn't going to rescue the Israeli soldiers or destroy Hezbollah, just kill innocent Lebonese (which could coincidently strengthen Hezbollah). And what about the some 9000+ Arabs of many nationalities that Israel has abducted? Looks like everyone is at fault.

Your mistaken, Syria just announced yesterday that they do have some control over Hezbollah. Hezbollah gets weapons and equipment from Iran, but it has to travel to Syria as Iran and Lebanon dont share a border. The Lebanese Government has no control as they dont even have much of a military, southern Lebanon is totally out of control of Beruit. Lebanon would love to get rid of Hezbollah, they arn't like Hamas which is popluar based). Much of Hezbollah isnt even Lebonese their origins are in Syria. But these attacks against Lebonese civilians will only make them less likely to aid Isreal. If I were Isreal I would do presicely the opposite. Instead I would arm, train, and equip the National Lebanese Army like they did in 1982 with the Christian Militias. They I would order a 2 prong attack against southern Lebanon (the lebanon from the North Isreal from the south). Sunbi! I understand the bombing in southern Lebanon (although I doubt their effectiveness). What I dont understand is the bombing in Beruit such as the Airport, powerstations, bridges etc. All its doing is putting hardship on Lebanese civilians, bombing these targets has little effect on Hezbollah. It seems as if Isreal is attacking Lebanonese civilians. I just dont get it. |
