To Dianavan,...WORDS ARE WEAPONS TOO!
I don't think it is correct to say that the Hezbollah "kidnapped"the two Israeli soldiers.Far more accurate to say they were captured and made prisoner.

There are reports that they were captured on the Lebanese side of the border.

We know that the Israeli armed forces have consistently made armed incursions into the Lebanon over the past few years to assasinate,recconoitre and take prisoners.There are many Lebanese who have been taken this way.

In fact there are some 9000 Palestinian and Lebanese in Israeli jails-many were taken from their homes in the illegally occupied West Bank against all the rules of international law.

Last week Israeli warplanes buzzed one of the palaces of the President of Syria.If one of the pilots had been shot down and taken prisoner would he have been kidnapped?

We have to be alert to the language that the Zionists use and be prepared to challenge them when they use phrases like"collateral damage" or" targetted assasination" or" incursions ".
Words are weapons too!
