    Isreal and American support for violence.

    I hate hypocrisy and it would seem to me that the US is guilty as hell right now.
    The US goverment says "We want a ceasefire in the Middle East" but then they are still supplying Isreal with weapons.
    Am I the only one who believes that if America wants peace in the east they should not supply anyone with weapons?

    First off, if the U.S. wasn't supplying Israel some other country would. Probably France.........after all, they gave Israel nuclear technology.

    Second, if they weren't supplied so heavily they would be swarmed by their loving neighbors

    Have a good one!:thumbsup:

    So would you say that the reaction to recent events was justified ?
    What France has to do with this is a moot point really since I was asking about America not any other country,I don't believe anyone should be supplying either side as you are simply profitting from misery.


    I can tell you that that there are so many similarities between the Milosevic regime and the regime in Isreal. Both have intention of ethnically cleansing their Mulsim population either through military or economic means. Both tried to restict the freedom of these people for example by restricting the freedom of movement or as was the case in Serbia the right to work. Both regimes have showed racist attitudes towards their Muslim population. The only difference is that USA dared to confront Serbia over the genocide in Bosnia , whereas it failed to confront Isreal over its treatment of arabs in Palestine.

    Howdy psychocat,

    I voted yes,in yer poll..not only should we supply Israel munitions,but I hope that we have offered to provide something that they ain't got..a good ol' fashioned carpet-bombing with B-52's..it worked dang good at making thousands of Iraqi soldiers surrender and it's good at collapsing tunnel networks and bunkers too. The AC-130 Spectre gun-ships and A-10's,would be great for mopping up.

    You see..there won't be a cease-fire that lasts more than 24 hours,until we or the Israeli's,destroy hezbollah. There can be no cease-fire,worth the paper it's written on,till Nasrallah and his minions,are blown to bits.

    Have a good one ...

    It's not just the recent events but a combination of events from the point that they left Southern Lebanon to the present. Lebanon was also suppose to have Hezbollah disarmed by this point and taken control of that region under a U.N. resolution and if that would have happened, this would have been avoided.

    What France has to do with this is a moot point really since I was asking about America not any other country,I don't believe anyone should be supplying either side as you are simply profitting from misery.
    I brought up France due to the fact that they did give Israel nuclear technology and created the imbalance in the region. I agree that war isn't the best option at times but unfortunately when you have all your neighbors calling for your destruction...........

    I kind of look at it this way also, why did Hezbollah have to cross the border, kill 3 Israeli soldiers and kidnap two others? When ya get kicked in the knees enough you eventually start swinging back.

    Have a good one!:thumbsup:

    This wasn't an uncommon occurance. Hezbollah has done it in the past, and Israel and them exchanged prisoners in the past. Each side captures their troops all the time. I don't believe this incident is enough to provoke an offensive that spillovers to a country which really can't do anything about this situation. From 1975-1990 Lebanon was at civil war. This was a country that is basically damage goods that was working towards some democratic reforms. They don't have the capability themselves to disarm Hezbollah, which is I'm assuming Israel figured out.

    However, I don't really like the premises that you have to destroy a country to destroy a terrorist group. That's not setting up good precedent for the future. Now any country can come and say "hey there's a terrorist group in your country, they're blowing up our people and infrastructure, we'll attack. Already Israel has responded in a similar way America has, using the same justification for terrorism. What would you think if China used terrorism has an excuse to invade Taiwan? Or India had enough of the terrorism in Kashmir and invaded it?

    It's a concept that can be easily abused and twisted.

    Arms supply is more of a free market activity than I ever imagined. Watch Lord of Wars. You don't need to pass an ideology exam to get weapons; you just need cash...
