Maybe so but in this case it really seems pretty clear. As for bombing the UN
too !!!!!

That's Gaza. Please don't confuse the issues. Lebanon is entirely another
matter. Another country in fact.

Hamas isn't the issue in Lebanon.

Wrong. There's a very large amount of European blood in Lebanon. Indeed Lebanon
is both Christian and Moslem. Living in peace now too after Israel poked its
bloody big nose in *last time round* and screwed everyone.

Regrets mean *nothing*. Anyone can say that stuff.

We may in due course see. If Israel gets new American weapons in the meantime,
don't be too surprised it Hezbollah gets more too.

It's not going to happen any more than Islam is going to die out.

Their "standard of behavior" is that they want to live, and are
willing to let others live as long as they are left alone. The
standard of behavior of Iran and Hamas is "kill all the Jews."

I know which side I prefer to support.

Because it's idiotic. I'm certainly more pro-Jewish than I am 'pro-Moslem'. Indeed
I'm not pro-Moslem at all - I'm moderately critical of Islam in fact. I have no
issues with the Jewish faith at all.
