She Watched the Pager Attacks Unfold in Lebanon. She Almost Can't Believe What She's Seeing Now.

Fire thousands of rockets against a country, often targeting their civilian population. That country responds with relatively precise counter-measures and ground invasion.

[surprised Pikachu]

Bibi is doing exactly what dubya did in iraq - use a domestic terror attack to justify launching an invasion into a separate country that they wanted to invade anyway. [...]

You didn't mention the part where Lebanon launched thousands of rockets at Israel over the last year. An innocent mistake, I'm sure ...

Hmm what else has been happening over the last year?

The terrorists ruling Lebanon wanted to join in on Hamas's festivities. So now they get to join for real-real, not for play-play.

Define terrorist - does it include slaughtering kids if their parents don't surrender their homes?

Welp, in this case I would define it as the fine folks who launched thousands of rockets at a neighboring nation, often targeting civilians for the sake of "terrorizing" them. Is that definition good enough for you?

How about the guy who murdered ~300 of our troops while they were acting as peacekeepers? drudge.com Someone that our own government offered $7 million for last year. Or that not terroristy enough for you?

Welp then this is a war of terrorists versus terrorists.

Yes, both sides... Israel defending itself from terrorists who murdered 1,200 civilians in a war that they started is the same exact thing as Lebanon inserting itself into that war and launching thousands of rockets against at random for the express purpose of ???

But, hey, at least you almost admitted that HezzBawlzOff are terrorists, so that's some progress. Hamas next? A girl can dream, can't she?

With the backstory of one side simply taking land from the other side for the past half century because "god wants them to have it"

Muslim colonization. en.wikipedia.org Yes, I wonder which group of people to root for? I'll go for the ones that are least likely to murder me and everyone I care about because I don't believe in their god and superstitions.

If you were living on land they wanted, which side would be more likely to steal it or murder you?

Well ... 20% of Israeli citizens are Muslim, 2% are Christian. About 0% of the Gaza population are Jews and there are about 1,000 Christians left. Gee, I wonder which group would be more likely to murder me and take away my land.

Maybe check out that Wikipedia link on Muslim colonization if you haven't figured it out yet.

Don't be simple. Israel does it day after day and that is half the reason for the ongoing conflict. Not 1200 at once but one by one. #16 | Posted by GalaxiePete

Sure, it was the other day when I saw Bibi parachute into a Muslim music shindig and open fire at civilians.

Yeah, sucks to be the Palestinians. That's the sort of thing that happens when conquered. As they should know since the Muslims have taken land belonging to others for quite some time now. en.wikipedia.org

Difference being that, for most of us, we take our lumps and move on with our lives. Find some place else to settle down and call home. ("Why Are Palestinians Still Living as Refugees 6 Decades Later?" www.historynewsnetwork.org (short answer, they are the only group in our existence that are perpetual refugees generations down the line. We could have a Palestinian president of the United States who was born here and he would still be a Palestinian refugee)).

Sounds like the Palestinians should have taken those peace deals they were offered five times in the last 90 years. ("How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the past" lawandsocietymagazine.com). Or maybe they should slaughter some more Jewish civilians twenty years from now and see if that works out better for them.
