The result was 10 pros, 4 abstentions and 1 contra.

Besides, this maybe my 1st post in the Lounge for about 2 months or something...
Israel is always going on about how Arabs target civilians and terrorise the innocent, but it seems to me that when they do attack soldiers instead Israel's response is usually much more brutal than it is when they're hitting back after some suicide attack against civilians. Israel is obviously well entitled to defend itself and its people. But its clear that they're not as comfortable having the Palestinians and others attacking their armed forces, because terrorism gives them an alibi to take whatever course of action they feel they can get away with in Gaza and the West Bank, but with those militias attacking the army instead many of those who sympathise with Israel might begin to see it as legitimate resistance to the occupation.The_Knight said:It's like Israel's message is: For every soldier you attack, we'll kill 10 of your civilians.
Israel's position is that Hezbollah are a major component of the Lebanese government and have their own share of seats in the parliament, and thus the whole of the government is held responsible for Hezbollah's actions. Despite the fact that Hezbollah took these actions unilaterally and without even consulting any of the other Lebanese factions.TOON ARMY said:Hezbollah is only a minority party with a hardcore military wing of 500 militants yet Israel is holding the whole of Lebanon responsible for Hezbollah's actions. We all know Hezbollah are means for Iran and Syria to indirectly target Israel so why hold Lebanon responsible?

If you think its over a few soldiers, then you are more naive then I thought.The_Knight said:They got a soldier and a hitch-hiker. Gee that totally negates my "propaganda" and puts me in a pickle.
If only that wasn't constantly happening to Palestenian families at their homes, schools and even on the beach. If only.
Palestenian Mass loss = Propaganda, boring.
Israeli isolated loss = Terrorism, news material.
Just to have the labels put from the start.

Rob said:And if you cast your mind back 60 odd years....
Here's the latest example of 'Civilian casualties not deliberately targeted as part of war is unfortunate but not wrong' for you..... (it's the latest up to last week)....Rob said:Civilian casualties not deliberately targeted as part of war is unfortunate but not wrong.
Rob said:List of attacks on Israel by Hamas from 2000 to 2004, that doesn't include all the attacks in the nineties, and the constant firing of rockets by militants in Lebanon and elsewhere.
Rob said:Not only that, Israels attacks are made under the banner of a state, and the state is the only body that has a right to use violence in our system of states, unlike bodies like Hamas and Hezbollah who acted under the banner of terrorism.
Another reason why Israel's attacks and massacres are legitamite I suppose?Rob said:Now any civilian deaths are unfortuante, but its a result of collateral damage, however its justifed. Deliberately killing civilians is not.

The Israeli Massacres Between 1995-1999:
The Sohmor Second Massacre :
2/04/1996 (Lebanon):
The Israeli artillery targeted a civilian car carrying eight passengers, killing all of them .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mnsuriah Massacre:
On 13 April 1996, at about 1:30 P.M., an IDF helicopter fired rockets at a vehicle carrying thirteen civilians fleeing the village of al-Mansuri, killing two women and four young girls. The vehicle was a Volvo station wagon with a blue flooding light, a red crescent painted on the hood and the word “ambulance” written in Arabic. Reporters at the scene filmed the incident. The film footage shows, and testimony of UN soldiers who arrived immediately after the car was hit corroborate, that there were no weapons or any other type of military equipment in the car, only some food and clothes. Amnesty’s investigation revealed that none of the passengers were connected to Hizbullah.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nabatyaih Massacre:
18 April 1996, Eleven persons were killed and ten injured in an IDF air attack on a house in Nabatiyya al-Faqwah, some three kilometers north of Nabatiyya, in South Lebanon. Eight of those killed were from one family: a mother and her seven children, including a four-day-old baby. Around 6:30 a.m., IDF helicopters fired rockets at three buildings in the village, demolishing one totally and severely damaging the other two. Lebanese families were living in the buildings. The IDF Spokesperson claimed that the helicopters fired at the building in which the eleven were killed because Hizbullah was hiding there after firing the mortars. Investigations conducted by Amnesty and HRW did not confirm this contention The IDF's statement ignored the fact that the IDF fired at two other buildings during the same attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qana Massacre :
18 April 1996, The "ethnic cleansing" operations carried out by the Zionist terrorist army have encompassed not only Palestinian civilians, but Lebanese civilians in south Lebanon as well. In an attempt to break the power of the Lebanese Hizbollah organization, Zionist forces undertook a military operation against south Lebanon. This operation was likewise based upon the Zionist mentality, supportive as it is of blood-letting and terrorism and based upon the belief that "exercising pressure against Lebanese citizens . . . will lead in practical terms to comprehensive, overall pressure on account
of which the Hizbollah organization will be obliged to adhere to a ceasefire."59 Given this reasoning, the Zionist forces bombed the shelter which was providing refuge to approximately five hundred Lebanese, most of whom were children, elderly and women who had been forced out of their homes by Israeli raids on their villages, and who had been unable to get to Beirut. This bombing led to the deaths of 109 Lebanese civilians and seriously wounded 116 others. During the attack, Israeli forces used between 5 and 6 advanced bombs designed to explode above their target in order to cause the largest possible number of casualties. Moreover, international investigations confirmed that the Israeli forces had deliberately targeted the shelter.60 Ali, one of those wounded in the attack, says, "I fled in the morning with two friends and went for refuge to the emergency forces in Qana. I had my wife and my four children with me. They led us into a shelter where there were about fifty people. Then suddenly the sound of bombing rang out. A first shell, then a second fell near the
shelter, and as we were trying to get out, another shell hit the shelter directly. I don't know what happened to my wife and children."61 Fadi Jabir weeps as he talks about things he saw after the Israeli bombs fell on those who had left their homes to come to the base for the UN Fayjiya peace-keeping forces. He says, "I heard people shouting 'Allahu akbar!', and a woman fell down unconscious. I reached out to get an idea what had happened to her, and her brain fell into my hand."62 As for Sa'd Allah Balhas, who was wounded by a piece of shrapnel in the Zionist massacre, he says, "In one second I lost everything: my children, 14 of my grandchildren, and my wife. I don't want to live anymore. Tell the doctors to let me die."63

24/6/1999 (Lebanon)
Martyrs: 8
Injures: 84
Target: Under
Building in
Beirut
In an interview with the "kolhaer" magazine, five Israeli soldiers said that the artillery commander had said to his soldiers "We are skilled marksmen. Anyhow, there are millions of Arabs... It's their problem. Whether Arabs become one more or less is just the same...We have accomplished our duty.
The whole issue is not about more than a group of "Arabosheem" (a racist term hostile to Arabs used by the Israelis). We should have launched more shells to kill more Arabs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Western Bekaa villages Massacre:
29/12/1999 (Lebanon):
The Israeli warplanes dropped bombs on he children who were celebrating the “eid” festival, killing eight children and wounding 11 others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are just some of the massacres committed against the Palestinians and Lebanese by the Zionists Jews. If the raids on southern Lebanon old and new were to be taken into account the true magnitude of Zionist crimes against humanity could start to emerge. If one were to go into the gruesome details of the atrocities committed in 1948 the -mopping up operations- the deliberate humiliation and massacres of Arabs and the desecration of the holy places of both Muslim and Christian as well as the looting of these holy places and personal property by the Israeli army and settlers; one might just start to appreciate what Zionism is all about.
After 2000 the numbers get overwhelming. It includes Land erosion, Home demolisions, and Air-2-ground bombing. But hey this is all 'Past History', right?

Umm, wrong ... That was a result of a land mine planted by Hamas that was detonated. Now evidence suggested at first it was Israeli shells that led to the deaths, however it has been since learnt that Hamas operatives had scoured the area and taken away pieces of shrapnel, and then used the deaths to end its ceasefire with Israel and resume hostilities.[/quote]Here's the latest example of 'Civilian casualties not deliberately targeted as part of war is unfortunate but not wrong' for you..... (it's the latest up to last week)....
Massacres in Gaza (June 2006)
The Gaza Beach attack took place at approximately 4:40PM on Friday, 9 June 2006. An Israeli naval boat stationed off the coast of Beit Lahya fired seven successive artillery shells at civilians on the beach in the Waha area, north of Beit Lahya. The shells landed on the beach, which had been crowded with men, women and children at the time. Seven civilians from the same family (father, mother and five children) were killed.
A further thirty-two civilians, including thirteen children, were injured. Two of the injured sustained serious wounds. On 13 June, another attack was carried out on a Gazan highway, killing eleven and injuring thirty. On June 20th, three Palestinian children were killed and 15 others wounded in a failed extrajudicial execution attempt carried out by Israel.
Why is it silly? Because all of Israels neighbours have said they want to destroy a nation that is free and democratic?I mean Rob, I don't want this to turn into a tit-for-tat discussion. But saying Israel is not the aggressor is hand-down the silliest thing I'v ever read down here.
Still doesnt justify the attacks by the groups despite the result.When you read into them, I found that in some attacks, Palestenians were the only ones killed! And in other attacks, no one was killed. You don't know what a massacre is before u've read Israel's history in Palestine.
Israels attacks are legitmate, they have a right to defend themselves and secure the security of their citizens. That can be done by several means, such as peaceful negotiations but its tough when Israels neighbours are all hell bent on destroying Israel. Israel is a free nation and in this case its recourse to the use of violence to secure its citizens and its own existance is more than justifed.Yes, under the banner of a state. Coz there's no such thing as state terrorism. When ur a state, hell you can do whatever you want. Until ur a state, you can't pretty much do anything, not even be a 'victim'. It's all about 'the state'. Yes the 'State' is the only body entitled to kill at will. Israel is a 'state', so when it kills, it's not 'State Terrorism', it's just a 'State' doing what 'States' do.
Sounds like good ol'sarcasm material for The Daily Show.
I mean, Really?
Another reason why Israel's attacks and massacres are legitamite I suppose?
Fine, lets not do that. I accept you have an opinion and its valid, but I think its flawed and I disagree with it 100%, as you do with mine.I mean Rob, I don't want this to turn into a tit-for-tat discussion.
Rob said:I love how these all come from the Palestinian national information centre, a body now controlled by Hamas, real reputable, an international recognised terrorist group.
Rob said:Just like when Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia all invaded Israel after a UN partition of the land? right? Past history, but no, Israel are aggressors.
Rob said:Umm, wrong ... That was a result of a land mine planted by Hamas that was detonated. Now evidence suggested at first it was Israeli shells that led to the deaths, however it has been since learnt that Hamas operatives had scoured the area and taken away pieces of shrapnel, and then used the deaths to end its ceasefire with Israel and resume hostilities.

and I have this question in mind and would like to know your thoughts of it...
Why does the state of Israel exist?
Yup . Only then will there be peace in that area. No one wants to fight over a radioactive wasteland.Virgo said:Nuke them all
