You sure it was a bug and not a guinea pig?

How can you be so ignorant as to interrupt a serious conversation with such ridiculous comments and links?!?

Seriously, that bug made my day.

Here is another good video on Israel’s actions. Feel the tension with the Israeli trying to squirm his way out.

now to clarify, i dont think thers a ‘good guy’ here – i dont support flat on hatred of the Jews, i dont think thats fair or accurate. there are some, and there have always been some, who care more about Israel than Canada or the US or where they currently live – and I do agree that Hezbollah are indeed a problem as they butt in for other countries and really grey peoples mindsets about whether or not they are acting on another countries’ leaders behalf – their actions certainly escalate tensions between nations that may not be as severe otherwise. My concerns against Israel in this conflict almost entirely come from the fact that I find their action extremely sloppy, hitting areas Hezbollah is not, incompetent military action that takes way more innocent life than the supposed true problem. They are attacking one of their only allies in the region – a democracy… in the name of democracy. Their excuse is that they say ’sorry’ after they hit innocents, and thats no excuse to me. They have empowered already extreme hatred against them. Their sloppy action is doing more to destroy their nation than their enemies have over the past few decades.

here’s an example of mainstream media pushing back as what Israel is doing…

the US vetoing anything against Israel is nothing new. back when the Iraq War started, around 71 items against israel had been vetoed by the US, they continue to not push for any ceasefire. Several high ups in the Bush administration are directly involved in Israel’s foreign policy, Richard Perle for example.
I dont know what to believe about the start of the Iraq war anymore. Israel has a part to play, yes it is dumb how they get to hold weapons, and how the US itself is violating international treaties they have signed and at this very moment creating biological weapons.

I dont know that I’ve seen the media make more out of Israels’ death than the Lebanese, i guess it depends on what you look at. I know the polls arent exactly swinging in Israels’ favor though.

Its a bad time to have elected leaders with really religious beliefs, it may be tinfoil thinking but sometimes its like they are willingly trying to act out Bible prophecy, trying to force other nations against Israel. I feel bad for the Israeli people, they have little to no say in anything that is going on. And the Lebanese as well, Beirut is supposedly a great city and the nation becoming a great example of democracy for the middle east, and now some paint it like it had never made any strides to be what the rest of the world asked it to be.

Henrik, what you said is only being validated by their actions. The United States has vetoed any kind of punishment, talks, ceasefires, political reprimands, yet continues monetary and military support because the US is run by the foreign entity that is Israel.

Why is the US in Iraq, because Israel felt threatened by supposed weapon’s of mass destruction. Iraq and Iran had a remote possibility of having a nuclear weapon, but lest we forget about Israel’s 100 or so nukes plus their biological and chemical weaponary for defensive purposes only (of course).

Yeah, they are covering both sides, but at the same time they make the deaths of two Israelis much more tragic than the death of 30 Lebanese. That is wrong in my eyes. The Canadian gov’t should be neutral, but Harper (how I despise him NOW) is sucking up to Bush and the Jewish support group who will ensure another Conservative win for him if he continues to obey and read the speeches they wrote for him.

I’m just going to come clean here right now (obviously the WRONG place to have a debate like this but who cares) and say that I pretty much hate Israel.

I hate how it was founded, I hate how its being ruled, and I hate its justification.

I’m not too big on arabs either, I try to hate (read: love) unprejudiced, but I support them in questioning Israel.

Conondrum: Does Israel represent Jews? Does America represent Americans? I’d say that it does. It is a democracy so I assume the way its being ruled is the will of the majority of the people. The minority is not accounted for, and as such can not be taken into consideration in this scenario. I will say this:

Jews are warmongers.

actually to tell you the truth, while the media is usually very predictable i find so far they’ve been quite fair in their coverage. i think they realize how serious this is and that they cant just blindly follow one side or the other….
i think perhaps since the government (both Canada and US) cant seem to come to a position and stand with it, the temptation to tow the line for patriotic reasons hasnt really been the issue it normally is.
