<div>Dear all,<br>
<br>
I read all the comments. <br>
At least we all agree we want Israel to stop its unhumanitarian attacks.<br>
I am afraid it is too late now after all the destruction.<br>
But let's learn one lesson though: we should also ask for hizballah to stop <br>
fighting Israel... The more they fight Israel, the more Lebanon is destroyed.<br>
So why don't we all ask for BOTH parties to stop????<br>
Why don't we ask Israel to go fight Iran and Syrian on THEIR land and not ours?<br>
Hizballah can get out and fight on an Iranian land... do we really want Hizballah?<br>
They are bringing nothing but destruction and war from Israel to Lebanon.<br>
<br>
We, Lebanese, Christinas and Muslims, shoud all ask for Hizballah to stop their action as well....<br>

<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Jimmy, what a bloody pratt you are! You want me to call an apple an apple? Well, I just did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">You want to "applaud" <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
for killing countless Lebanese civilians, destroying the economy and
infrastructure of our country under the pretence of self defense,
then knock your self out, but know this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"></span> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">No one is condoning the actions of Hezbollah; we’re condemning the heavy handed actions of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region> and its collective punishment of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:country-region></st1:place>
and its people, which constitutes of a violation of the Geneva
Convention and International Law. Come on, let me hear you clap. The
government of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region> said it was <st1:country-region w:st="on">Syria</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iran</st1:country-region> pulling the strings, then let them go bomb <st1:country-region w:st="on">Syria</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"></span> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">I apologize to
all recipients of this list for being out of character, but my 85 year
old mother had to evacuate right after she had an operation, and our
dear Jimmy thinks we should applaud that. My apologies for using
derogatory language, but I wish there was a polite way to call an
idiot an idiot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"></span> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Not only are you
senseless, dear Jimmy, but you lack perspective and the analytical
capacity to understand that the biggest loser in this conflict is <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:country-region> and not Hezbollah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;">The idiocy of morally decrepit people who see nothing wrong with the destruction of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:country-region></st1:place>
and the death of its civilians as long as they are under the illusion
that Hezbollah are being destroyed is mind boggling. Open your eyes and
witness who the real losers are. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma;"></span> </div>

<div>We're not expressing support for Hezbollah, we are expressing
solidarity and support for the Lebanese living through a genocide
you have no shame in appluadng. </div>

Instead of replying with emotionally charged responses, full of
personal attacks, I would appreciate if you actually come up with
alternative ideas of disarming H<font class="">isballah,
i.e. curing the deadly cancer, rather than giving it a Tylenol
by saying STOP THE WAR!! I want to know what is next??
spend the next 20 years negotiating with them while they build up their
capabilities again?</font><br>

all that, I love Lebanon, I love the people, and I believe in a united

being the undisputed puppets of Syria and Iran, I hold them responsible

here.<span> </span>After what round of talks were you expecting Hezbollah to disarm?<span> </span>Hezbollah wanted every Arab and Iranian issue resolved before they did anything.<span> </span>Is that what you want?

the death of 250 civilians is horrible, but if the end result is a
country free of militias in peace with ALL its neighbors working to
build a bright future for its children, then their death is well worth
it.</font></font></div>
