Thread Name: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Just for the record:

I do not support terrorism.

I do not support Israel either. In fact, I hold the nation of Israel to a much higher standard than I do a group of terrorists, therefore my criticism of Israel.

Just because I criticise the actions of Israel, does not mean I support Hezbollah. Although I do support the social programs provided by Hezbollah, it doesn't mean I support terrorist activity. Neither do I support the Israeli army.

On the other hand, I try to imagine being Lebanese and offer the Lebanese (regardless of their faith) the support they deserve. If I were Lebanese, I am pretty sure I would feel justified in defending myself from Israel. History has shown that Israel does not respect Lebanon or its people. What has Lebanon done to Israel?

Whenever someone (I'm not naming anyone) decides that Israel is endangered because Muslims are intent on genocide, I know that they responding hysterically. Its difficult to discuss a problem with anyone who resorts to emotional hype.
