Its time to start up the old politics thread. I know im venturing into dangerous territory here...middle east politics have been the cause of my bannings every single time here because i display a great deal of hatred for israel..so I'll try to curb my language...but i want everyone's responses here, lets get some debate going and some heated debate at that.
I extremely [INSERT ANY WORD RELATED TO DISLIKE] the Israeli government. Once again i find their disproportionate actions inhumane. Let me clarify, 2 dead israelis....250 dead lebanese.
Need more?
2 detained israeli soldiers.....9,000 detained ,lebenese women, children, and soldiers.
Last time I checked the arabs bleed red blood too.
My views are not biased or propagated. I have access to 14 international news channels...INCLUDING hezbollah tv and al jazeera. I have the advantage of speaking arabic english and french. And I'm an avid reader of news papers in all three languages. No opinion goes unread by me.
Furthermore I find it even more disgusting that the 10 countries in the UN all agreed in favor of ordering israel to stop its aggressive actions..and guess what country excercised its veto option? Thats right, the US.
The continued involvement of the US in letting israel do what it wants in the middle east and handicapping all other countries form even having miltary capabilities is angering me tremendously.
I'm not going to debate about whether or not hezbollah are terrorists or freedom fighters...but in my opinion any group that attacks solely miltary targets is not a terrorist organization.
What I will debate is the fact that the bombing of beirut's international airport has a NOTHING to do with hezbollah. The israeli government is trying to isolate lebenon land, sea, and air. My mother and sister are currently vacationing in Syria. I dearly hope they make it back soon (they leave there in 3 days) but as soon as they leave, I would be excited about the prospect of Syria,Iran,Egypt,Jordan, and by defualt hezbollah putting major diplomatic, military and economic pressure on israel to not only back off but to seriously begin a change in the middle east.
For the US the involvement of Iran would be the worst thing ever because most of the US's oil comes from this region. I wonder if the US will ever take miltary action to protect its oil interests..even if it means military action against israel.
This is a serious problem.
