Hello Gary,

>GB>Their militant wing also hides in civilian areas
>GB>and launches their rockets from them as well.

>BS>How many were hiding in Qana?  How many of the 30+ children
>BS>killed were terrorists?

>BS>Speak up Gary.

GB>I don't know how many terrorists were hiding there, Hezbollah does
GB>not much talk about their casualties.

Israeli Defense Forces do not talk much about their own casualties,
so why should Hezbollah or any other fighting force?

GB>Maybe none by the time of the air strike. They often flee after
GB>launching the rockets.

An Israeli excuse to bomb anything and everything.  IOW, Israeli
propaganda.

GB>Your question is silly Bob as far as how many kids were terrorists.
GB>I doubt were.

"We had to burn the village to save it."  Sound familiar?

GB>And I have no problem speaking up Bob.

Then do so honestly, rather than pretending Israel can do no wrong.

GB>Please, don't think you can silence me in any way, shape of form
GB>with your rather poor debate tactics.

Why do you support Israel's aggression against the Lebanese people?
Please answer the question.

GB>You keep using these cheap debate tactics and hyperbole.

Why do you support Israel's aggression against the Lebanese people?
It's a simple question...

GB>I am interested in really discussing and debating what is going on there.

What is going on over there is the systematic murder of the Lebanese
people.  Some folks would call that genocide.  But let's start with
the previous question, "Why do you support Israel's aggression against
the Lebanese people?"

GB>You cheapen the human suffering going on there with that kind of pablum.

All acts of violence should be condemned.  Not just the acts of
violence committed by Hezbollah.  But also the acts of violence
committed by Israel.  I have said before, in this very echo, that
I condemn ALL acts of violence - acts of violence committed by
both Hezbollah and Israel.  Perhaps it is time you do the same.

GB>Israel made a serious mistake.

No shit, Sherlock.  How long did it take you to figure that out?

GB>They saw rockets being launched from there and attacked.

You do not know that.  And neither do I.  What we both know is
that Israel *says* it saw rockets being launched, etc.

GB>I don't know how long after the film they attacked or what kind of
GB>intel they were operating on.

We both know it was a VERY BIG MISTAKE.

GB>Unlike you, I don't claim to have all the answers.

The answer most certainly is not answering violence with more violence.
After all, violence leads to violence.  More violence leads to more
violence.  See how that works?  The path to peace is not through
violence.  That much we all know.

GB>But its patently obvious if Israel had sent troops in there, they could
GB>pinpoint such strikes more accurately and up to date.

It is patently obvious that Israel could, and would, murder many more
innocent Lebanese that way.

GB>But then I expect people like you would bash them for that too, daring to
GB>invade with troops.

A full-scale invasion of Lebanon by Israeli troops would destabilize
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, as well as draw in Syria into Lebanon,
and possibly Iran.  Is that what you want to happen?  Of course, Lebanon
would no longer exist, except in name only.

GB>I expect what you want Bob is for Israel to pack up and go home. Keep the
GB>blockade going and just sit there and take whatever Hezbollah wants to lob a
GB>them?

What you are advocating is genocide.  What me and Bob are advocating
is peace and justice.

GB>Right?

Israel is the most murderous regime in the history of mankind.
That is most certainly not what I want.  And I doubt it is what
Bob wants, either.
