		<description>I just do not know how can Israelis just comment on this site after they see what they are doing to our children. I believe the best thing instead is to look and contemplate deeply before reflecting. Israelis do not know the meaning of freedom to know what resistance is. What you call the state of Israel has done nothing but occupation, killing, massacres and bloodshed. How could such people understand what resistence is.To all Israelis do not let your leaders fool you. We all have nothing against true Jews we respect Prophet Moses just as we respect Prophet Muhammed (saaws). However be aware of your zionist leaders who have not succeeded since their immergence except in bloodshed and thus further hatred for you. It is time to rethink freely. You call for democracy and freedom but you are the least free people in the world ( You just reiterate what your media and leaders impose on you). Take your time and think freely for a second. What are you Israelis doing in other people&#039;s lands and houses. Don&#039;t believe what your leaders say that this land was promised by God for the Jews. God&#039;s religions are never created to be national and restricted within Geography. Religions should be universal. I believe it is time to read and learn about Islam in depth rather than listening to what is imposed to you by the zionist media all over the world. The following is a link for some electronic books about true islam which I urge you to read.

		<description>purr plexed,
Based on your line of reasoning, shouldn&#039;t most Israelis be legitimate targets because
a) they voted for the current Israeli government that has authorized the destruction of Lebanon
b) The IDF is using Israeli infrastructure to carry out its bombing missions
c) and almost all Israelis are currently either in active duty in the IDF or as reservists, or have served at one point or another in the IDF?

Hezbollah is not the only group that places its weapon caches around civilian infrastructures.  The Israelis (presumably Jewish Israelis) have built armanent plants and storage depot close to the Arab communities in Israel.  According to Jonathan Cook,

&quot;Several Israeli armaments factories and storage depots have been built close by Arab communities in the north of Israel, possibly in the hope that by locating them there Arab regimes will be deterred from attacking Israel&#039;s enormous armory. In other words, the inhabitants of several of Israel&#039;s Arab towns and villages have been turned into collective human shields – protection for Israel&#039;s war machine.&quot;

(Like this one). In the end he confirmed that Israel does not intend to invade Lebanon. A must-read blog entry by a Lebanese here. [...]</description>
