Dear Lebanese Citezen
First al salam 3alaikum, 2nd i agree with you that all countries have their own agenda about lebanon. But i disagree with you about your opinion of hizbullah, As a shiite muslim And a lebanese at first place i would ask you to review the shiite history since the prophet mohammad to the present day. Then tell me if you still belive that hizbullah used the civilians as human sheild,
and as lebanese we should all know one thing although all of our religic diffirences we have too many things in common, but since we are too stuburn and so saitainic blind we always see the difference and we listen to those you said that do not have any good intentions considering lebanon. At Last i would like to say god bless you and i hope that you re-think your citezenship since all over the world when any country is attaked all its citezens unit against the aggressors only in lebanon the opposite happens by intention or by misjudjment i do not care. Thanks for your article.

Why does Hizballah strike from South Lebanese towns?

Simple - they live there. Everybody knows Hizballah troops are local boys - they train and operate from the towns they live in. This is why they are so effective at concealing themselves.

Nonetheless, there is evidence that Hizballah’s forces do not allow civilians they don’t trust to be near their operations. Has anybody considered the possibility that when they launch weapons from near civilians, it is precisely near those civilians who are or might be either opponents to Hizballah or even Israeli spies?

In any event, it’s irrelevant. The responsibility for killing civilians lies solely with those who launch the weapons that kill them - the Israelis. It’s that simple.

Also note, Jonathan Cook, writing from within Israel, has pointed out that numerous Israeli military facilities, weapons factories and the like are located near Israeli towns and cities - obviously for the convenience of the workers. Well, in a war of this sort, with such a small country as Israel, you end up “hiding among civilians” when you do that, too. And a Katyushs has zip for accuracy - not to mention that when you’re firing it in the general direction of Israel within a few minutes to avoid being blasted by counter-battery fire, you don’t have time to guarantee pinpoint accuracy, even if the weapon had it.

Finally, the ratio of Israeli soldier to Israeli civilian casualties, vs the ration of Hizballah soldier to Lebanese civilian casualties, tells the tale.

Hizballah MAY deliberately be committing war crimes - but Israel damn sure is.

I feel sorry for you Othello, but even if Syria officially acknowledges the Lebanese identity of the Shebaa Farms. The party of God would find another excuse to wage their war with Israel. It isn’t about Shebaa Farms. I trully hope that once this is over this time that finally Lebanon will have a chance for real freedom without the threat posed by the party of God.

Personal Response ok? I do not know the rules of using blogs (just started reading blogs). Is it ok to leave you a private or personal message? I just wanted to say that I found your blog through my daughter’s blog. She has a link to your blog Lynne

Othello, I would love for you to be able to live your life without worry, though there are worries of one kind or another everywhere. It has been my lifelong wish to find the “perfect” place to live. I have had other heartache but never have had to deal with bombs or missles. However, worse than experiencing it myself, is the fact that my daughter lives in Israel, so I am always worried, never feel secure. Just tonight Tel Aviv is under high alert. But I digress. I tend to trust the people and not governments as well. We people do not know about the agreements made privately by members of our government until much later and sometimes never. I am Jewish but never, ever have considered even for a moment that the Lebanese people are my enemy. This conflict is heartbreaking for me and I am so sorry that you and your countrymen are experiencing it. Of course, I blame Hizbollah for dragging everyone into this. I can tell you that the feelings among the people in Israel were so happy and optimistic that there would be a resolution and compromise in Gaza, and that there would soon be peace. I have great respect for Abbas and was so hopeful that he would help forge peace in the area. Abbas is moderate, and the terrorists have ruined that opportunity for peace. What if bloggers started a strong movement for peace and demanded that changes be made that would benefit the people of the Middle East? It seems that process may be already starting and it’s hopeful. In the meantime, until things are more peaceful in Lebanon, please be as safe as you can be. Wtih best regards from Texas

This is my first time i visit the lebanese forces website, Iam not sure if you accept other lebanese people comments.

I read your article till the end. The first part seems interesting and true regading the foreign intervensions.

The second part doesnt look bjective or at least persuasive. What I figured out is you are trying to explain why Israel did the mascare in Quana. If you blame Hizbollah, you are mistaken. Nothing can be the reason of a mascare. The israeli killed the lebanese army, the bombed the international airport (I guess Hizbollah was using it as well right ??) What about the UN Place who gave the Israeli 10 warnings that the bombs are very near to them before they got killed. What about the church..
Beleive me my friend the israelis are the worest people on earth, they dont believe in humanity. They dont need any excuse to make mascares because they know the whole world doesnt care. I am same as you I donr like any party to have its weapons but in this situation, I support Hizbollah because this time we will be in a final settlement to end the war, get out lands back and end of Hizbollah weapons. This way we wil win on all cases.

Thanks,
Nassib
