I am increasingly getting more and more angry at Israel, and what it is doing to the Lebanese.
What is the figure now for Lebanese deaths? I think it is something like 400, and many of these were women and children. Collective "punishment" is not allowed in the Geneva conventions, nor is the destruction of the civilian infrastructure, which Israel is patently engaging in, just as it has in the Gaza strip where the power station was targeted and destroyed.
These atrocities are being committed with the connivance of the United States, who supplies these monsters with yet more arms, to add to their already huge stock of F16 planes, and tanks.
Arms with which to kill yet more children, bomb UN observers, ( and attack those who went to rescue them) and bomb and strafe ambulances.
This cannot be in the name of "Self-Defence", this has to be cold-blooded murder, but it is what we have been led to expect from that country who always pleads to be the "injured party".
Sure, it is as the "injured party" that 120 more Palestinians have died whilst the World's attention has been on the murderous onslaught in Lebanon.
If I remember right, Hezbollah didn't fire missiles at Israel until it used disproportionate force against the Palestinians in the Gaza strip, who kidnapped just of ONE of their soldiers. That soldier for all we know, is still alive and well. This would not of been the case had it been al-Qaeda who had snatched that guy; presumably he would have ended up just like one of the unfortunate others captured by them.
Hezbollah obviously took advantage of the situation, and unwisely kidnapped two other Israelis.
The response to that kidnapping, again, was totally disproportionate. Rather in the style of the Americans, who have created havoc and civil-war in Iraq with their heavy-handed approach. If a country bombs cities, almost razing them to the ground; has little regard for the innocent civilians, and kills women and children, (which is against the Geneva conventions) what is to be expected except gross retaliation?
This is what the Israelis are getting now; even more rockets fired into their country, as REVENGE.
In fact I think that they are now realising that they are dealing, this time with something a little bigger than what they are used to. These aren't a few Palestinians with AK47s; this time it is something like a proper army they are fighting, but it is time they realised that disputes like these cannot be settled in the American way; only by dialogue and at least some active compromise, can they hope to win this one. Why not release some of the 10,000 Palestinian prisoners they hold, many of whom are women and kids under sixteen?
As it stands, they have zilch sympathy from me. Of course, I don't have to spend half my day in a bunker, and duck because yet another missile is overhead, but they should KNOW why that is.
Give up the illegal forty year occupation of Arab lands; release prisoners who have killed nobody, and TALK!!!
And a message to the United States, and especially to the nut in the Whitehouse: STOP supplying Israel with arms to kill more innocents!!
And the UK government MUST stop the USA and Israel from using our Airports as a platform for the shipment of MORE lazer-guided missiles and bunker-buster bombs with which to kill yet more women and children.
