I think this is asking for it. Throwing fire bombs and then faking injury.

Israel is currently the only country in the world to have soldiers occupying a different country while not in war. The Palestinian people have been living under a military curfew for years, these Palestinian outbursts are for freedom from oppressive Israel, not terrorist attacks. When you see in news that Israeli soldiers got attacked, its because they are stationed in and around these neighborhoods, not because the Palestinians are moving into and attacking Israel. Israel has set up hundreds of "villages" on Palestinian land that are Jewish only, completely against the UN ruling. There have been very few Israeli casualties compared to Palestinian, use the internet for something more than connecting to your favorite BF2 server because without it we would have no choice than to see the heavily pro-Israel media.

Israel controls all press that go into and out of israel, so they have control of what the world see's. And the western world seems to have this constant guilt thing, whenever someone mentions the holocaust, its all oh, sorry jews, we'll put you in the good light. Yes the holocaust was horrible, yes the majority of people who died were jewish, but why should that still be used whenever someone says something bad about jewish people?
We believe what we see, and if we only see the bad things hezbollah and the Palestinians are doing, then thats all the world will believe. Israel has gotten the PR on them perfectly. What really annoys me is seeing the reports on tv about the fighting in lebanon. "at least 50 lebanese were killed today by israel, mostly women and children, in a bombardment of a residential area supposedly supporting hezbollah."
then cut to the 1 israeli soldier killed, and make it sound like the lebanese are the bad ones.

it boggles the mind sometimes

Some of the pictures you linked are quite shocking. The kind of pictures our media won't show for fear of putting Mrs Smith off her dinner, or so we are told. iF Mrs Smith seen these pictures she would have empathy, our governments don't want that. I live in Northern Ireland (Britain) and the news is dumbed down to cover over the real life's that are being taken. They are just numbers to most ppl.  The Republic Of Ireland news on the other had will show you gore. Perhaps the most disturbing even with all the gore is the pictures of Israeli children writing messages on the Arty shells and then the picture taken that same day of Lebanese babies blown to shit by Israeli arty. That massacring 1996 of over 100 civilians was quietly blown over by our media hardly getting a mention. I remember it getting a minute or so on the BBC.
Both sides are using the media to their advantage. But like the conflict as a whole, its seriously one sided.

What, hezbollah controls everything in lebannon now? They don't even have a majority in the government ya prick.

Besides, BBC doesn't go through the Lebannese press, they shoot with their own cameras and reporters on the scene.

Wake up!!!! Hezbollah controls everything in Lebanon. How can a group take over a whole chunk of the country and not be in control. Your a fool to think because they dont have a majority in the gov. they dont control Lebanon. You said yourself that Lebanese army is to weak to do anything about Hezbollah. How then does that not prove that Hezbollah is in control?

Your links are clearly up to date....the 60 min segmant was clearly more dated. It is still relavent, however, because it shows that even the general population isn't as innocent as everyone is making them out to be. Has your parents ever told you "stop crying or I'll give you somthing to cry about?" How about the old saying "be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it."

It definatly is NOT any type of oppression. If they could just admit defeat (which happend a long time ago,) then there would be no need for occupation. In spite of all of this occupational "oppression," there are still constant attacks in israel.  Its funny that everyone oppossed to the war is saying that it all started over one solider being taken captive. However, people failed to remember that  in the months leading up to the war, there has been the most suicide bombings in Isreel since the last cease fire.  The government has placed a known terrorist group in charge of security (quite ironic), and the group was not only responsible for the suicide attacks, but also for a propaganda machine such as safely setting off bombs on the beaches and blaming israli rockets in a meager attempt to get some type of politcal preassure. 

Obviously they were asking for a war, if they are over there being drama queens and faking attacks for the news. If thats what they want, then they should be prepared for the consequences. Either that or have their own government take some responsiblity and get rid of the terrorists. Israel took the land, the same as every other establishment was created. Maybe its time for them to stop focusing on the small piece of land that they don't have, and accept and appreciate what they do have.

I am, and always have been against the Iraq war because there never was any proof that they had WMD, were harbouring terrorists, or were generally up to no good. I do feel that this particular instance is completely legitamate, though very unfourtunate.
