hey guys.
Here are my views on this whole matter. I feel bad for the innocent lebanese people and israelis who have to deal with these attacks. I just want to say that before i go on.
Now, i want to say that the other arab countries don't care about the palestinians. they just flat out don't. the only people who care about the palestinians are palestinians. countries like syria and iran just flat out want israel gone. while in small numbers , jews were tolerated in the middle east. when numbers began to grow, they were despised. look up "the vanshing jews of the arab world" and learn about how jews were exiled from arab lands where their homes were and how they lived in israeli refugee camps until israel was able to take them in. look up things lirke the "farhud" and look up how the mufti of jerusalem worked with hitler in organizing an arab SS. also look at this article written by lebanese-american Joseph Farah.

i think that if the israelis and palestinians can just discuss all of this without other arab countries or even muslim countries (pakistan meddles as much as the US does) somehting might develop.
Now i definetely think israel is going too far with these attacks. i understand their frustration with the fact that these militants are attacking their borders and that the lebanese government is not acting in any way to destroy them, but i feel that innocent lives are more important. i understand their strategy, but i just don't think its an effective one. and i really doubt that the israeli government or even people want to hurt lebanon deliberately becuase unlike popular beleif, israel is not tryint to expand and take over the arab world. i also agree that israel is wrong when bulldozing homes and many of my jewish and arab (also arabs and jews CAN be friends, i just think it needs to be out of the whole middle eastern context) friends agree with that fact. but before real peace talks happen, there needs to be a stop of the violence. you can't discuss peace while there are people being killed. that goes towards both sides. every time there seems to be some sort of peace deal, there is always a setback.
I just don't beleive this will ever happen. everyone needs to take actions into their own hands. and that's somehting i dont see happening soon.
