Lebanon pleads with the world for help
 

The Lebanese Prime Minister tonight called on the international community to intervene in the Israeli assault on his country and rush in badly needed humanitarian aid.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...276700,00.html

In a televised appeal to the international community, Fouad Siniora said that more than 300 people had been killed and 1,000 wounded in the eight-day-old Israeli assault. More than 500,000 Lebanese had been displaced, he said.

"Is the value of human life in Lebanon less than that of the citizens of other countries?" he asked. "Can the international community stand by while such callous retribution by the state of Israel is inflicted on us?"

fuck them yo , i hope Israel blows em off the map

too bad most of the international community realizes that Israel's attacks are justified...

only a bunch of haters on gfy still think otherwise...

btw thats a biased post above cause i am Jewish

Hezbollah is fucking deadlier than Al Qaeda yo

I hope God will give to Israel same, what they give to Lebanon...

where is your white sheet and hat to go with your words?

Palestine needs a few apache's sent over and bombed to bits....

dude, what isreal is doing is like if we went and started kiling civillians after 9/11.......... oh wait... isreal is just copying us!


seriously, this is mad fucked up and needs to fucking stop

Hi, i respect all people...
I dont care it is jewish or arab. All People are equal. Isnt it?
I just say that i wish, that God will give the same to Israel, what Israel gives to Lebanon. Isnt that fair?

Juicy,

you might be funny, but when it comes to real life shit, get a fucking clue...

seriously man, there is no fucking logic in harming half a million people because of this crap damnit...

maybe if your sig didnt say freedom to palestina lol

i think other arab country must have a resolutions.....

Well the real humor in this thread's title is that Lebanon is not even in control of itself. Hezbollah has had more control in the government and country than the "official government" has had for years now. So I'm confused as to how they can ask for help from the international community when they weren't even control of their own country to begin with. :Oh crap

Attack on Hezbollah is justified, but not in this way, when you make guilty all country, no matter that 70% percents of inhabitants arent Hezbollah.
If IDFs werent pussies, they would be already fighting with Hezbollah on earth, not from air. Why they dont invade to South Lebanon and whippe out Hezbollah out of there?

They don't have oil, like Kuwait.

dumb ass.

Go cercumsize a dick

I was just checking out Wiki to see if Hezbollah really controlled the government, but it said only 18% of Hizbollah held seats in the government.

I also didn't realize that the president is a Christian position (Catholic), and that almost half of Lebanon are Christians.

well for one thing, there are some ground operations... so get your facts together...

second, I prefer that some idiots on gfy call the IDF pussies, than have to hear about dead soldiers on the news...

if the IDF fought them on the ground, hizbollah would still be defeated, but there would also be casualties for the IDF... unlike some of the arabs, the most important thing for Israelies is the life of soldiers and civilians...

If HIZBOLLAH weren't pussies, they wouldn't have started this shit, knowing it will cause the death of Lebanese civilians...

Why? for differences of opinion? isn't that why your people have persocuted millions?

You're true ignorance and idiocy is showing. Yourself, your people and your so claled "enemies" (translation, you dont all beleive in god the same way). Why you religious zealot fucking lunatics fight and spill blood over stupid shit is amazing. People of your idiocy SHOULD be ethnically cleansed. however it's not any man's right to do so... maybe a cataclysmic event could wipe you all off the planet? Who knows...

For the comments and complete disregard for human life you have displayed as of late, I bid to tell you you are NO worse than every other warmongrol race this planet has ever seen,


Your people go as fuckinr far as to outcast, hurt and KILL because your elders don't beleive in marriages between different ethnics, religions, even towns. It's pathetic. So for you to go on about bombing countries etc really shows how ignorant you really are. Look at the damage and blood your own people have spilled needlessly.

Waste

Of

Flesh

Huh? What does the percent of hezbollah that hold seats have to do with the percent of government they control?

1% of Hebollah could hold seats but they could still hold 99% of the seats in the government. Or did you just post your info backwards and mean that 18% of the seats are taken by Hezbollah?

Yes, I meant that 18% of the seats in the government were Hizbollah.

Could have ended without any plea by simpling giving the soldiers back so the propaganda now is worthless imo.

Strange how nobody mentions the past Palestinian bombers and rushes to defend them.

War still sucks. Peace.

Ok, well in that case. Can you imagine, if (I don't know what country you're from. But take the worst local clan/gang/terrorist group) had 18% control of your country's government? It would be like the KKK(or worse) owning 18% of the government here in the States. 18% is HUGE.

You said that Lebanon wasn't in control of their own government to begin with. Then who is? You inferred Hizbollah, that was inaccurate.

I'm not suggesting that 18% is a good thing. Only that they aren't in control of the government.

Yeah, ground operations 2-5km behind border in lebanon and with immediate whithdraw.

In particular these Lebanon civilians :1orglaugh

I would like to hear, how would you speak, about this conflict, if you were living in Lebanon now

I know that there must be some response to attacking your soldiers, but such response is really excessive.

A terrorist group IN CONTROL of any percent of a government doesn't really put that government in full control of their country. It's like the conservatives and liberals alike here in the States pushing for something. They may not even have an 18% control on the votes. Yet they still sway legislation on laws / bills. Can't really explain it more than that.

when you have to chose between putting your soldiers and citizens at risk, or theirs, yeah, obviously this is the choice... hezbollah doesn't work this way...they don't care about Lebanese citizens... so they are the ones to blame...

That's still no reason to continue to kill civilians, because you suspect that a Hezbollah party member is hiding somewhere among them. More effort should be made once you realize your strategy isn't working, to consider other ways to handle the situation.

500,000 people is a lot of people to deal with. You have to feed them, shelter them, clothes, bathrooms, showers, diapers, on and on.

I doubt the government can even handle 10% of that number. Its going to be another disaster.

But 2 Million people got displaced by the earthquakes and tsunamis and everybody has already forgotten about them. That's old news already.

In another year no one will remember these folks in Lebanon and there'll be something else in the news.

Sad but that's reality. Our minds are controlled by the media. What happened to all the hoopla over the Arab port deal? North Korea firing missles. LOL. See we're the mezmerized for the moment TV generation. Fucking pitiful.

fuck him

he should ask for help with the Hizbollah!

I agree in general, but I also think there's another reason for it. I think we're interested in CURRENT affairs primarily, and continue to discuss these events as they occur. We remember the Arab port deal, we remember the North Korean missiles, and nuclear threads, we remember the Tsunami victims and the Iran earthquakes, etc..

There's really not a whole lot we can do about any of it, except debate or discuss current events.. and try to vote in our elections in the minute chance that our vote might sway things in our countries that cause a change for the better.

i don't get why they do nothing about these terrorists if they want the attacks to end so badly.

because Lebenese Army is weaker then Hizbollah army. It would bring Lebanon to civil war once again.
If you were bombed from the air by your enemy in order to force you to destroy some strangers (thats how rest of Lebenese see Hizbollah) in your country, would you do that? :1orglaugh

EXCELLENT POINT POTTER - If the Hezbollah stopped hiding behind the skirts of women and the children and were disarmed by the Lebanese Army, we wouldn't have this problem.

If Israeli stopped now, they would be sucking missile stew for dinnr forever.

Where are the pissweak Syrians and Iranians at the moment. They should stand up and be counted and either defend Lebanon or backoff and stop supplying missiles and arms to a bunch of terroists.

No wonder the world supports Israel.

Lyn

sure, why not? they might see these guys as 'strangers' but these strangers are getting their country destroyed, so why not destroy them? if there are really more supporters of hizbollah in lebanon than their military or those who would defend their country against such shit, that is a sad statement on the population.

Christian Presence Slowly Being Extinguished By Israeli War In Lebanon

http://www.swnewsherald.com/online_c...rh_lebanon.php

Yes, but in reality mainly strangers from air are destroying this country.
300 dead civilians (a few hundred to come for sure in following days), destroyed infrastracture for few miliards dollars, whole country fucked up for around 5 dead Isrealian soldiers?

Fucking genius quote:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...071701154.html

Maybe leaving Israel alone, quit fucking with them, might be the peaceful solution.

There ya go, the answer, simple, don't kill Israelis first!

If my only other choice is having Israel do, yes! Or ask for help.

In the US we call it "aiding and abetting"

I think maybe it is you who lives in a world full of bunnies and little fluffy chicks. Tell me this, if Canada had a terrorist group that was randomly sending rockets into the u.s. and sending in suicide bombers for years, would you just sit by and take it?

I am all against war, but there is no way you can negotiate with people who will blow themselves up to fight you. They have no respect for life in general, so how can you negotiate. If you know history at all, this is the same mentality that Japan had in ww2. They would never give up, so we had to use nukes, and then not even one did it.

I only hope that Isreal keeps going and just wipes these fools off the map. I feel bad for the innocents, but their country should have done something about this.

Now the UN should take it as a clue and take care of Syria and Iran too. These two countries are the root of most of the problems anyway.

If you vote them in ... doesn't that make you responsible?

Lebanons INTERNAL problems caused a neighbor to react.

There is ZERO doubt as to what that neighbors reaction would be ... so what's the uproar about?

It's Hizballah who are responsible for this. If they didn't do what they do, then Israel wouldn't have to give the Lebanese Government an 'incentive' to boot them out.

I'll admit right now I do not know the full situation In Lebanon concerning Hezbollah so please let me know if I'm wrong

The Israelis beef is with Hezbollah right ?

Why punish the innocent in Lebanon with war ? In the long run with the amount of civilians who have died already is that not just going to drum up MORE support for Hezbollah ? Mainly from the innocent civilians who have had family killed ?

I guess I'm just not seeing the logic in punishing everyone here, would it not have made more sense for the Israelis to work with the Lebanese government on covert missions to try and get rid of Hezbollah from within Lebanon ?

This is what Britian did in Northern Ireland during the 70s during our trouble, they basically funded all of the loyalist paramiliaries in Northern Ireland to fight against the IRA. Would that not have made more sense ?

Or have the Lebanese government done nothing to try and combat Hezbollah ? Is that the problem ?

Just trying to understand the situation here :thumbsup

So although the Lebanese government don't claim to support Hezbollah, they do nothing against them ? Is that right ?

Damn.

Some of you Israeli fanboys are as bad as Apple computer fanboys.

Quite sad, actually.

Ok here is a question which I have always wanted to ask Israelis

I understand that Israel is the jews holy land but based on the amount of trouble in the middle east since the formation of Israel.

If you guys knew what you know now about how things would have unfolded would you have choose somewhere else to build a country ? i.e NOT in the middle east ?

I've always been curious about your thoughts on this

Also they had MI5 agents who had infiltrated the IRA and they had a lot of intelligence about what the IRA was planning to do in the future

Could the Israelis not have done something similar using Mossad ?
