the captives israel currently hold are people that have activley tried to deny israel its right to existence and under criminial law within israel AND the world are rightfully allowed to be held prisoner...
BBC (2003) said:
There are also at least 530 "administrative detainees" in IDF custody, who are held without charge or trial for renewable six-month terms.
Administrative detention is a system revived from British Mandate times (before Israel was established in 1948) and has drawn harsh condemnation from human rights watchdogs who say it is illegal and arbitrarily applied.
All such detainees should be released immediately or charged with specific crimes and put on trial, rights groups say.

According to figures provided by the IDF to Hamoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual, the IDF is holding, as of 3 Jan., 2006, 741 Palestinians in Administrative Detention.

These are the people who both Hamas and Hezboallah are seeking the release of. People who are kept imprisoned without criminal charge.

israel and her citizens have long been under attack by this group on their northern border and when two of its soldiers are kidnapped by them crossing the Blue Line which is outlined in UN Resolution 1559 then israel sees this as an act of war...also in this reolustion was the agreement by lebanon to totally disarm hezbollah...not done
True, but since this is a
UN resolution, what right does it give Israel to skip any UN support/backing and dive into war? Infact, UN is calling for restraint and order in Lebanon to be shown by Israel because the attacks are _disproportionate_. If Israel fails to follow any authority by the UN, then why are you blaming Lebanon? Dont say "Oh, they didnt, why should we?" because that doesnt make you or Israel any better.

definition said:
Dictatorship, in contemporary usage, refers to absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.
Only absolute monarchy's classify as dictators, and about 2 or 3 of them are. But anyhow, even if you count all monarchies then the number amounts to 5.

they are aiming at airports etc because these are the ways in which a) hezbollah TERRORISTS can escape the country b) escape taking israel's soldiers with them c) get more weapons transported into lebanon by their funders syria and iran to fire at israeli CIVILIANS...it is rpeorted that about 100 hezbollah fighters have died and now with israels minor ground invasiont he majority of their bunkers will reveal this number to be higher as well as this their missile batteries will be destroyed!!
355 dead in Lebanon,
mostly civilians.
19 soldiers and 15 civilians dead for Israel.

I think the death toll is far to large on both sides
What?

i aint gonna talk bout the suicide bombings cause u aint gonna understand it either way....
and its people like u that are close minded
Either way, in terms of Islam, you cannot justify suicide bombings however you may try. I understand the predicament which they may face but still, under Islam, it is not justifiable and thus is wrong under its rule.
jenzipoo said:
i can also tell you that the flyers warned people to head north as well as away from hezbolah known places!!
Oh, right. Go north, but we just fucked all the bridges up. G'luck, kaythx. Do you have any idea how many of the civilians dead were en-route to North Lebanon from the South and were killed on the way? I personally know people who were killed like that and no I am
not Lebanese.
jenzipoo said:
and another thing im willing to put money on is as soon as israel is done (whic hopefully is soon) they will be the first to give the lebanese people aid!!! it is alreayd shown when an israeli soldier came back to israel with a lebanese woman that got caught in cross fire...she is currenlty being operated on in an ISRAELI hospital...israel did it for the palestinians and theyll do it for lebanon!!
That makes all better again right. I'll murder your family and just to make things the way they were again, I'll pay a few thousand to your relatives. Awesome. Because, you know, money = lives.
jenzipoo said:
if israel were to release the prisoners that hezbolah and hamas demand this is what will occur. These people will return back to their hamas and hezbollah counterparts and yes once again try and destory the soverignty of a state that has enough problems on its hand than dealing with MORE people that will yet again sacrifice themselves for the sole purpose of killing jews and israelis and disrputing the freedom that israel has storngly and longly sought after!! israel has had enough of its citiznes fearful to go to the movies, markets and pizza parlours..
Actually, I find that hard to believe when those prisoners' release which both groups are seeking are those who are kept without charge. When a government such as Israel keeping prisoners without charge, I doubt they would have to do anything with actively "destroying" the state of Istael .

HEZBOLLAH IS NOT FIGHTING FOR LEBANON!!!
hezbollah is fighting in the name of allah! lebanon is just a country for them that cna easily be sacrificed for their greater cause...you might even say that hezbollah cares less about lebanon than israel! hezbollah, although, is just the messenger from syria and iran!! using anti semtic material and brainwashing people into hating a country that only wants peace!!
hezbollah is fighting a religious and ideological war whereby israel is defnding itself as a country...no one can claim this is an ideological war or religious war on israel's behalf considering the various types of religions that exist within the COUNTRY

hizbullah literally means Party of God
with alternate names as Islamic Resistance Movement
no lebanon no palestinains just religion
Hezbollah[1] (Arabic: �*زب الله, meaning Party of God) is a Lebanese Shia Islamist group and political party, with a military arm and a civilian arm, founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli Defense Forces who occupied southern Lebanon until the year 2000 and are still occupying the disputed Shebaa Farms area in south Lebanon.
Along with the Amal movement, Hezbollah is the main political party and military organization representing the Shia community, Lebanon's largest religious bloc.[5] and it is a recognized political party in Lebanon, where it has participated in government.[6] The civilian wing participates in the Parliament of Lebanon, taking 18% of the seats (23 out of 128) and the bloc it forms with others, the Resistance and Development Bloc, 27.3% (see Lebanese general election, 2005). It is a minority partner in the current Cabinet.

Obviously they have a key interest in Lebanon and are not being "harboured" since it was founded on the very purpose of defending the Shebaa farms in Lebanon. It is not a trans-nation group such as Al-Qaeda, it was formed as a legitimate resistance movement investing a profound interest in Lebanon alone.

the problem is that sum ppl misinterpet the Koran and for exmaple when using the word jihad and its meaning can then think its ok to excuse the bombing of people in its name...even though i am sitting here today defending israel and believe it needs "revenge" too i would never blow myself up for it (while taking innocent ppls lives) and thats what these organisations harbour...suicide bombing terrorists!!
Wow, it took you 32 pages to say something which has basis and truth. I agree that there are people out there who mistakenly interpret certain aspects of the Quran and make it there own. Suicide bombings are in no way or form justifiable under Islam, though one may see it as
understandable. Killing innocent civilians, whatever your predicament, is plain wrong and is strictly forbidden in Islam. However, one must realise that the notion of "dying for liberty" is often universal. No matter how you try, you cannot deny the fact that in our history people have gone into "battles" (where there are no innocent civilians) knowing they will be giving up their life and this can be justified under any religion, even Buddhism, which is often thought to be a pacifistic religion. When taken in context, it can be see where suicide bombers go wrong. Fighting soldiers/oppressors instead of civilians would be a more appropiate idea.

they ARE defending themselves, theyve been doin that for god knows how long [ u r so gonna tell me i can feel it] theyve been using tanks n vrythin hoeva when people do suicide bombings evry1 is like no thats WRONG
Read above.
jenzipoo said:
what is hezbollah defending? theyre not defending anythign...theyre attacking israel because they dont feel that israel shoudl exist and we can see where such idelogies source from...the very funding of hezbollah --> iran..whose president believes that "the zionist regime should we wiped off the face of the planet"
As state above, they are/were defending Lebanese land which is what brought them into existence.

and your "sacred islamic state" of saudi arabia is in FULL support of ISRAEL
Which can be completely attributed to the influence of America.

yo shifty, no need to write a book on how smart you are.. listen up ay... its simple... israel is attacking some retarded terrorist group, because they started shit... they aint attacking islam. and HELLO EARTH CALLING BRAINS... syria and iran are terrorist countries, who if they dont behave there are two consequences, the first being they gonna be flattened like lebannon, and the second no children will get presents from santa claus because he has warned that bad behaviour has its consequences and these consequences are severe
lol, the world is so simple for you. Who told you Syria and Iran are terrorist countries? Prove it to me and I want sources too. Cheers.

How can you trust the reliability of the Koran when it was written by people not God. Try and prove the existence of God.
Its cause of a thing called faith. If someone sees truth in the Quran then believe it , if not then dont. Simple. You cannot substancially prove the existence of God, the whole idea of religion is to believe without substantial proof - faith.

Not everyone has to have a religion, but you are too narrow minded to see that in the Western World.
Oh so right. Each to their own.
Last of all, can we please get rid of the petty personal attacks, just makes all of you involved seem ultra superficial. Stay civilised. Cheers.
