What IS the point of this thread. I fail to see it. And yet I go on posting.
JustJess, excellent points, especially #3. That was where I was trying to go, with my post before this one.
Ustwo, I have not yet seen your answers to my questions from a few days ago, about you conflating the Lebanese with the Palestinians, and in fact the Lebanese with Hezbollah. You seem to think (from what you have written, this is all I can tell) that everyone who lives in the Middle East (outside of Israel) is an extremist Muslim who wants to be a terrorist, and they raise their children that way.
Please, I know you have the intelligence to recognize that you are making a dangerously broad generalization in the heat of this argument... please tell me that you recognize that. You simply cannot make such generalizations, because they are squarely wrong.
I don't think ANYONE here is supporting Hezbollah. There are just some of us who choose ALSO not to support Israel's current level of action. A plague o' both their houses, yes... but not on Lebanese OR Israeli civilians. Sigh.
