In every thread that's come up here about the current festivities, I've condemnded Hezbollah. They're rabid animals that are completely unwilling to accept anything less than the death of every Israeli, and they need to be put down. But a willingness, even an enthusiasm in some areas, to simply slaughter everyone in Lebanon to do it is every bit as evil. That's what I've said all along.

World also backs this:

War reparations refer to the monetary compensation provided to a triumphant nation or coalition from a defeated nation or coalition. The compensation is meant to cover damage or injury during a war. Generally, the term war reparations refers to money or goods changing hands, rather than such property transfers as the annexation of land.

Diplomacy and the Hounds of Hell, Part XI...

The senior Iranian in Damascus says that he's sure that Hizbullah will win. Would that be because you're continuing to supply Hizbullah with rockets, missiles, mortars, and targeting information? Or, more likely, simply wishful thinking and hoping th...

Legion:

I never knew you to cite Hezbollah Doctrine before. Is there a slim possibility that you are "Seeing the Light" ?

It was good that you mentioned the use of children by Hezbollah and that you are sad for them.

Ahhh yes... the ever-popular "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" school of diplomacy. I'd call you sad little children, but even children have morals.

"The world" won't be happy until every last Jew in Israel is dead. That has been so since what, at least the last 40 years? Nothing new here.

Fesboo does have it right! The UN is made up of despots that have shifted the UN Council into a Mafia type extortion gang. If you have oil money to give away, I'll see that you get my countries vote. Saddam showed everyone how well that works, with France, Germany, Russia, etc. Food for Oil Program is just one of the many scams the UN runs.
Israel has every right to defend and pursue the criminals that never follow any so call UN resolution and most of us knew they wouldn't follow it, as the cowards they are hiding behind the UN troops, women and children! As for any so called civilian getting killed in the WAR ZONE after the repeated warning to get out, then they are guilty by association and deserve what they get while they dance in the street celebrating the death of Israels from the Iran/Syria supplied rockets!
Death to all Islamic Fascists! Better over there, then here!

Fesboo has it right, Who really cares what the other nations think, The Europeans have been anti Israel for the past 70 years and if they had the opportunity, they would have another Holocaust. As for the Arab nations, anyone with any sense at all knows that they have always been pro terrorist and their financial and weapons support proves it. The UN is another group of "Diplomats", who don't know their a** from a hole in the ground, that don't give a damn if Israel exists or not and have never supported Israel in their never ending fight against terror. The time is near when we here in the US better take the bull by the horns and "TELL" the world to shape up or get ready to fight. We have taken Irans bull for 25 plus years now and it's time to put them in their place with the rest of those who don't have the will or guts to do anything but surrender to the Islamic Extremist.

World opinion is like the crabs in the pot, all dragging each other back down into the boiling water. It serves only those who don't want to be burdened with survival.

Israelquote>Does the world support Israelâ��s bombing offensive in Lebanon? Or are they alienating even those inclined to support them?

Does anyone really care? World opinion has done nothing to stop the terrorist bombings that Israel has suffered through.

World opinion might have meant something before the UN became long in the tooth and when the Soviets backed all the little arab Kleptocracies.

I think Israel is right on a tipping point... after their soldiers were kidnapped, most everyone was willing to give them a pass on an offensive response. But they're on the verge of taking it too far; causing too much damage the Lebanese infrastructure and civilian population. There's a certain level of violent response that they are on the verge of going beyond...

Ramon better check with his US overlords again. I guess the State Dept reaction is all the proof we need that world opinion is not going Israel's way.

Then again, Ramon is doing all he can to keep the spotlight off his own troubles.
