If the international community would start punishing the nations who sponsor terror Israel wouldn't be in its current precarious position. Israel has a right to defend itself. Tell your elected officials what you think and that they should support Israel's right to defend itself.
Anyone wanting to sponsor Israel instead can find lots of ways to donate by running a search on any search engine. Personally, I have seen a lot of great links on Israel National Radio's website. It is an English language radio station that has given me a lot of great things to think about. My favourite is the Toviah Singer Show. He has amazing guests on, and you hear about stuff the liberal media never tell you. If you want the real story about all this, check it out. |

Israel has stated its position on the event of the kidnapping in empirical and reversible terms. They have stated that "If not R, then B." That is elementary logic, not high diplomacy. If the kidnappers return the hostage, the violence will cease. One thing I have observed from Israel (this is a theorem): If they say the violence will stop, it will stop. The corollaries of that theorem are that if another condition occurs which they deem to require military attention, the violence will start anew, and if the present condition continues, the violence will not stop. I have a hard time blaming Israel for showing might in region where they apparently have so many enemies. If Canada and Mexico started abducting US soldiers for whatever fate, we might act similarly.
Israel attacked runways for strategic reasons. That would mean no planes could fly from those runways (bringing bombs, etc. towards Israel.) I will agree that Israel could be more diplomatic, but I must say they are very rational about operations once their policy is stated. I had a buddy tell me he thought the Israelis were out of control. I told him i thought the reverse was true. These are not "hate crimes," but strategic works. instead of occupying your enemy's space, which is impossible anyway (look at occupations through history) you simply make them incapable of fighting. The Israelis are willing to make peace. Try them. |

I would think so.. will it happen no
Israel has approx 189 Palestinian prisoner and approx 30 Lebanese prisoners, Palestinian captured 1 Israeli soldier and Lebanon captured 2 soldier and Israel has reacted as bad as it has and US and other countries say they have the right to defend, if Palestinian or Lebanese peoplee react to their peopl being held as prisoner in Israel.. oh no they are not defending they are terrorizing ......
i guess its just a matter of opinion |

@Harold.F
i think you know nothing about Islam and that is why you are saying like this. Islam is the most peace loving religion in the world. it does not teaches to kill and burn innocent people. Read the Quran and then you would definitely understand what Islam says.

What would you do if Americans in America were killed and others taken across the border? It's nice to hate Israel and all, but no country in the world would tolerate such behavior. |

Israel have refused to implement the UN resolution for the last 56 years. The USA backed by the Israeli lobby in America have used the USA veto power to protect Israeli illegal actions against the poor Palestinians 30 times . Israel is like old South Africa in many ways look the 2 countries history up and you will know what i mean.See it to believe it

It's o.k. to tunnel into a country and kill soldiers and kidnap 3 soldiers. That's o.k. It's o.k. to fire hundreds of rockets into another country. And you expect that attacked country to lie down and die. Fighting back in self defence, against rabid Muslim extremist jihadis is a criminal act. Only Muslims can kill non-Muslims but no one can protect themselves in self defence. That is aggression? Dream on brainless "warrier" Dream on 9/11 holy turnip..

Get out the history books, you have it backwards.

if Lebbanon cannot control the terrorists in its border Israel will, and they are doing a good job, isolating it no airport, roads, bridges, or seaport |

The United Nations Charter specifically states that nothing in the Charter affects in any way the right of a nation to act in self defense.
Israel was attacked and they have a right to respond ANY way they wish. Too bad they are such nice people. Otherwise they would simply use their nukes to vaporize the Palestinians, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. |

And what are we????
You want Israel punished for aggression on another country when we attacked a nation and overthrew it's government??
I think that is funny, especially coming from the US who was tried in International Court for doing the same thing!!!! We were found guilty and still haven't paid the fines!!
We have no respect for the law, don't expect anyone else to!!! |

Absolutely right. Funded by the U.S.
Why hasn't the UN acted on this so quickly? |

yes they should .. but they wont ...
we all still feel so bad about the holocaust, that we'll let them do watever because of the millions that have died (not counting the millions they have killed since then). and the only way I c for punishing them is a trade blockade that would force the right-wing olmert administration to stop their pathetic attempts at impressing the conservatives and snap back to reality. |

National sovereignty is every independent nation's right. If a country chooses to go to war or to defend themselves against attack (we may never know who committed the first act of aggression in this incident), then why does anyone need to get involved?
Israel's allies (which the US should not be one of) would have to decide if they are going to join in any aggression. Palestine's allies will similarly have to decide if they are going to aid them in their defense.
If a country is not allied with them, then they should stay out of the business of these other countries. |

Actually, Israel is now, and is most often been in the past, a defensing state. Every sovreign state has the authority t protect itself. Idsrael does it a bit differently, but it is still responding to a threat placed by Lebenon... which is backed by Iran |

A Parrnell to this would be shouldn't the United States be punished for aggression on another country? The answer to both is no. We had less cause to enter Iraq than Israel did to enter Lebanon or Gaza. So based on this get a clue. |
