Virginia, USA | July 24

Shahar,
You are trying to justify the carnage that the cowards Israeli  are creating from the sky as a cleansing job for the people that don' share your value (disco, pubs...).  Those people happen to be Lebanese citizens who love their land and sacrificing their life to defend your savage aggression.  You don't love Lebanese, and don't try to bridge the relationships with Falafel and Labaneh. If you really care for humanity and understand suffering then you should call on your government to stop bombing innocent civilians. Your leaders were on television expressing that they have the capacity to reduce Lebanon to the stone ages (Bebe Natenyahu aka Joey Isuzu).  Language like that doesn't reveal that Israel does give a flip about peace with their neighbors.
Furthermore, you cannot bring life to all the dead and disfigured people that your government inflicted the past few days, and I hope that you stop weaving Syria as the enemy of Lebanon, The Syrian and Lebanese have their differences but we have deeper roots than your mentioned common factors.
Finally I feel sorry for your level of understanding about the conflict in the middle-east, all the resisting groups, are a -bi-products of your prosecution of the Palestinians and your occupation of Lebanon in 1982.  Before the catastrophe of last week there were many Arabs have come to the conclusion that we need to live in peace and accepted the creation of Israel, now your intentions are cleared, destroying a whole country is truly a necessary deed for your existence.  Now go back to your wonderful life, you will need plenty of explanation to your conscience if you have one.
