Ham, don't be stupid. Many names indicate origin.

Bobad, the argument you seek to make is no better than that of the killer of a hostage "Now see what you made me do". You still don't seem to see any difference between expediency and morality.

Robomatic, I have several times said that it may be legitimate for Israel to attack Hezbollah (as it was for the British Army to attack the IRA) but that of itself does not justify Israel slaughtering the Lebanese and destroying the Lebanon.

It is simply unsustainable (on the vast majority of reportage) to assert that the only people Israel are killing are Hezbollah. It is simply unsustainable (on the vast majority of reportage) to assert that all property being destroyed is that of Hezbollah.

Peace, learn to read. I gave three reasons for saying that further evidence was needed to accept Gross's assertions as fact. If he is Jewish, it is significant, for Israel is a Jewish country. His background as a writer for a very right-wing paper is significant. The obvious distortions in his article indicate an agenda.

I have not, in this thread, sought to defend Hezbollah. Don't pretend that I have. I started the thread to see if it was generally thought that the heavy handed Israeli actions in Gaza (and it got extended to the Lebanon) and their effect on non-Hamas and non-Hezbollah were justified. There seem to be three or four together from Canada (I think Ham is from Canada) and the USA who think so. Everyone else (or pretty much so) seems to think not.
