That's what the lebanese think, don't they, that's what you've been claiming all along. My opinion is irrelevant as I am NOT the one who is advising countries to get out of bad neighborhoods. But according to your and sulong's logic the lebanese should put up a "for sale" sign if they are indeed peaceful innocent civilians, right?
Yeah I know, that's exactly what you've been saying and according to your and sulong's point of view clearly expressed earlier in this thread innocent lebanese civilians should get out of the Middle East. And if they don't it will prove that they don't really want to live in peace, right?Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
I have been claiming that all the neighbors are to blame for the neighborhood issues...all sides are to blame.

So Israel is the bad neighbor to the Lebanonese, the one who is causing the problems in the neighborhood for Lebanon?
Sure you want to cop to that, given your previous position that Israel is never in the wrong?
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
It is not the stated policy of Israel to destroy its neighbors. It is the stated policy of Iran and the unoffical policy of Syria and apparently the "democratic" Iraqi government, as well as that of Hamas and Hezbollah, which are important elements of the Palestinian and Lebanese governments.
Can anyone doubt that if these neighbors stopped their attacks, that Israel would be happy to live in peace with them? The argument that they have a "justified" grievance against the very existence of Israel is not supported by international law, which liberals are fond of quoting, at least when it supports their arguments. Israel is a member state of the UN and is recognized by virtually all civilized countries as a legitimate country.

Do you want to condemn sulong for suggesting earlier in this thread that only Israelis should leave?
You and sulong said before that "in the eyes of many reasonable people" someone who's living in a bad neighborhood should move. Now you refuse to apply this advice to the Lebanese people. Are you saying the Lebanese are stupid or are they warmongers?Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
I think if Israel did leave, they would no longer be attacked, and there would be more peace in the middle east.
If the Lebanese people left, noting much would change....we have seen millions displaced and leave in the past few weeks...has that ended the violence?
