Of course this could be because I'm worried about friends in that are in both Israel and Lebanon... and some of the areas reported hit (again on both sides) are areas that they are living and working in  |
Yes for 3 Israeli lives they are willing to kill themselves.
Lay some smack down Rob? They cut Gaza in two to prevent movement of kidnappers and to stop rocket fire. Hezbollah said they planned this for a long time. It was not provoked because of this.
Where was Europe when Lebanon could have mobilized its army along the border so that Hezbollah would leave?
Where was Europe when Syria and Iran funded terror with a wink? Oh yeah they were busy profiting from them.
