Lebanese Blog: Hizballah's Filthy Methods

Here's a post at a blog that bills itself as “personal views and opinions of Lebanese Forces members:” Hizbullah’s Filthy Methods.

For the past 11 days, we have seen Israel bomb all sorts of targets and i am sure most of us were wondering why would Israel bomb a certain factory or a truck or a construction yard or a truck ..

If we can for a moment turn off all those local and international channels who have nothing to do but show little children killed and bodies and touch the viewer to a certain degree that ll blind him, and think about the reasons behind those hits.

From a military point of view, you have a full equiped army, ranked in the top 5 armies in the world against a guerrilla with absolutly no info on its fighters, weapons , locations.

Even though the Israeli army is way superior in terms of weapons and technology and numbers than Hizbullah, its war must be a very cautious and tactical one since its fighting a guerilla.
We ve seen Israel for example hitting a factory for tissues in a small village in the South. It appeared that Hizbullah guys operate using trucks, meaning they move around with a missile in a truck, park nearby a factory for ex and shoot the rocket and flee. The origin of the rocket being the factory, Israelies respond by hitting it.

A witness for a similar action urged on TV the Hizbullah fighters to stop coming into his village to shoot rockets and then run away since the village is being destroyed.

Same for the truck that was carrying civilians and that became very suspicious when it was not allowed to enter the UN offices.

Fighting a guerrilla is very hard and knowing that they could shoot from anywhere, we should expect hits on unusual places.

Innocent people r dying, this is true but i believe the way Hizbullah is operating and its filthy methods in infilitrating villages and using them as launch positions is causing all those casualties.
Of course Israelies have hit bridges recklessly during the day killing innocent civilians passing on the bridge, but its war and you always have victims.

On the other hand, the one hitting civilians randomly and threatening innocent lifes r the Hizbullah launching rockets with no direction whatsoever. I ve seen rockets land on balconies, small cafes, walls ... anything but military targets.

Finally, i heard that Hizbullah has accepted that the government negociates on the prisoners fate today, therefore i hope that they realized they havent achieved anything but destroy themselves politically and militarily and most of all destroy Lebanon and ruin its economy for the next 5 years.

Even the BBC notices it: BBC Admits Many Lebanese Casualties are Terrorists.

(IsraelNN.com) The British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) has admitted that many of the victims of Israeli retaliation in Lebanon are terrorists and not innocent civilians. A BBC reporter said he saw Hizbullah terrorists using a private home and added, “It is difficult to quantify who is a terrorist and who is a civilian.”

Even worse that how the Hezbonazis are fighting is what they are fighting for: absolutely NOTHING. Consider:

If the Isrealis win, here's what we get:
- Isreal with secure borders, and no threats from Isreal to any surrounding nation.
- Isreal with people free to practice any religion, no religion, or anti-religion.
- Isreali people of all races, faiths and non-faiths participating equally in government, with (regretably) some special priviledges for Jews.
- Freedom for all the surrounding Arab nations to build their own civilization in peace and prosperity, with the capacity to erect governments created by and for the people, with equal rights for all. In fact, these governments could shame Isreal into eradicating the special racist "Jew" privilidges.

If the Hezbonazis win, here's what we get: Isreal transforms into a nation ruled by 7th century religious superstitions imposed on all people, non-muslims forced to convert or leave, nobody with personal rights, including participation by citizens in their own government.

None of this refutes the fact that Israel's response to the capture of two soldiers (legal in warfare) is completely disproportionate. Israel doesn't care whether it gets those soldiers back or not. That was an excuse to bomb Lebanon just as the capture of the Israeli soldier in Gaza (again legal in warfare) was an excuse to bomb the Palestinians.

Nadir: Isreal's attack on Lebanon is not merely a response to the Hezbollah invasion and capture of its soldiers; it is a response to years of regular attacks of various types, including both attacks on troops and civilians. The same applies to the Gaza situation.

I agree that capturing enemy troops qualifies as "legal in warfare"; and so does Isreal's response to those acts of war. Are you proposing that Hamas and Hezbollah can commit these "legal acts of war" but that Isreal cannot respond with its own acts of war?

How about the Hamas and Hezbollah members turning their energies to building their own lives rather than destroying Isreal? What could possibly be the downside of that?

And why is it that you believe Isreal wanted to "bomb Lebanon" and "bomb the Palestinians" prior to these incidents? What incentive does Isreal have to bomb those areas? Are the Isrealis actually nothing more than Nazis who wish to conquer all of Arabia, exterminate certain "races" of people, and rule over Pan-Isreal?

Or does bombing those areas hold exactly one incentive for Isreal: they house people who are bombing them constantly over the years, in violation of various UN mandates?
