Lebanon (ran away to Dubai) | July 24

I have read most of the comments on here , took me some time i'll just be brief:

1) what is happening is unacceptable for any human being with reason, governments are acting like spoiled children who do not have the guts or the will to take action.

2) hizbullah and israel are both equally guilty and responsible for the crisis in the middle east, particularly israel for its harsh attack on lebanon that goes against all logic. i know israelis want to save those two soldiers but in times of war losing 2 soldiers is an acceptable loss not worth risking more lives ( 372 dead lebanese side and alot more then 2 people on the israeli side) this all for saving two soldiers...i do not understand how can governments be so illogical.

3) beleive it or not am sorry to say but the creation of the state of israel was the trigger to decades of bloodshed in the middle east....creating israel simply rid a whole people from a nation and a home....jews were persecuted? jews needed a state? tough luck ...you didnt have one...you could ve ran away to a neutral country like switzerland and stayed their safely...or went and build a new city in the desert or something were you will not bother or disturb or steal other people's country.

4) i urge people , particularly israelis and americans, to think more critically of all that goes around. i need to put this in caps because its important I KNOW SO MANY AMERICANS THAT DO NOT LIKE THEIR GOVERMENT, WHY DONT YOU REBEL? WHY DONT U SHOW UR ANGER? WHY DONT U EDUCATED PEOPLE? OPEN THEIR EYES ON THE CHAOS? ...am sorry but watchin the G8 sumit persidents eatin and getting spoiled while i was trying to run away from bombs to get to safety was not pleasant at all and only made the anger grow in my heart

5) this situation is like "an eye for an eye"....israel fighting "terrorism" with?...psychic warfare? bombs? blockades?...are those legal?...they been accused of using weapons that are banned by international laws but israel denied it. its like israelis are saying "we are LEGALLY massacring you and this is NOT terrorism"........one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

6) WAR and FORCE DO NOT HELP and i repeat DO NOT HELP to solve problems, only unsecure people resolve to force when they dont have the power to talk. I dont understand why we still have wars. People should have learned from the past and become more mature. why are france germany now best of allies when they were Worse of enemies just a few years ago? they learned from their mistakes and become more mature. we need to promote EDUCATION , CRITICAL THINKING , COMMUNITY SERVICE , TOLERANCE , BROTHERHOOD , HUMAN RIGHTS ABOVE ALL

7) solution to lebanon's internal problems are quite simple, we just need people with the will to do the job. one thing lebanese should do in lebanon is STOP identifying themselves to their religion, or region and start saying we are LEBANESE. KEEP RELIGIONS AT HOME! People should follow Civic LAWs in society to run a country, the bible and the holy coran and other religious books are to be used at home for personal use.

I could go on forever, I apologize for any inaccurate information or misspellings or offensive content but i have alot on my chest i needed to let go part of it. I warmly welcome any replies, i would like to know what all think ,mostly our israeli neighbors.
