Bla Bla Bla

Security Council –> bla bla bla… Israel & Lebanon ceasefire… bla bla bla… Boom… American veto in your face! Gee what a waste of time!

Omar al-Bashir –> bla bla bla… Israel is an evil enemy… We must defeat it… bla bla bla… We support the Lebanese people… bla bla bla… Gee guess what? My heart is with the Lebanese people too but dude pleeease! We’ve got bigger problems to worry about in our own backyard first… problems you’re utlimately responsible for… Remember?

Bush –> bla bla bla… Israel has the right to defend herself… Well like no freaking duh! So does the Lebanon but no wait… Lebanon’s army is too weak to defend the country but Hezbollah’s is much stronger… Meanwhile Hezbollah’s rockets are being fired from the south while Israel bombs northern targets… Gee how smart! I do the same… When my balls itch, I scratch my nose!

Arab street –> bla bla bla… We support Hezbollah… Yaaay Hezbollah all the way baby! Sure thing support them all you want… Easy for you to say… It’s not your country being bombarded or your civilian corpses piling up on top of each other is it? Shouldn’t we let the Lebanese people decide if Hezbollah should be supported? I mean hey it’s their country which is in sweet ruins now and not yours right?

Israel –> bla bla bla… We will not stop firing until our 2 soldiers are returned home safely… bla bla bla… Gee how sweet TWO soldiers huh? What about the thousands of Palestinians in your jails… Oh no wait I forgot… They’re all terrorists right? Even the women and children… I mean hey, forget the men they can rot for all I care but what about the women and children… Aren’t you going to cut them some slack… Yes? no? Not even a little? They’re women and children for God’s sake! Oh no wait they’ll be released and probably end up being terrorists. Sweet!

Al-Jazeera –> bla bla bla… The Zionist enemy has killed innocents again… bla bla bla… Gee when are we going to stop playing the victims… If only all the anger and hatred we had for Israel was put into something constructive… I swear we would probably end up challenging Japan’s economy… Gee sweet!

Random Jewish articles –> bla bla bla… Those who are against Israel’s attacks against “terrorist targets” in Lebanon are anti-Semitic… Wow how amazing? So if I don’t support Israel’s military strategy in Lebanon then I’m anti-Semitic huh… Sweet! You’re going to decide if I’m racist or not now aren’t you? Lovely indeed…

   Guess we’re all in this propaganda machinery together. I mean, I’m from Denmark = US ally + Israel = US ally.
   So Israel is on the side of “civilisation” . You’re Muslim + PA’s are Muslim, so you’re with the Ummah.

   Wouldn’t it be easy if we could just crawl back into our holes and believe what we’re supposed to believe ?

   Too late for that ? must be an overdose of bla bla bla /sarcasm off/

   Good you’re back safe and sane.

   oh, and add Hizb’ullah to the equation (well they’re Shi’a but anyone against Israel will do)

   Well, that was a full account, and all ’s been said…

   Sigh.

   If only John Kerry had been president, we wouldn’t be having any of these crises. The situaton in Darfur would be wonderful, the Israelis and Palestinians would have a lasting peace, and Hurricane Katrina would have missed the Gulf coastline completely.

   When Kerry talks, it is not merely the same old bla, bla, bla. It is extra special bla, bla, bla.

   P.S. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the States, Drima. Sorry I couldn’t comment more often, I’ve been having internet difficulties - especially with Blogger sites.

   and the us is a wonderful place - land of the free and home of the brave - blah blah blah

   keep on puking - we live in one fucked up world!

   We could also understand the crises in the Middle East from another point of view: it is a source of pleasure for many of its participants.

   Psychologists talk of a “causa sui” project: a fixation which gives “cause to be”, or a reason for being. Such fixations, like fetishisms, tend to give momentary pleasures when acted on (as in taking a stand on the conflict). And like in fetishism, there is very little desire for this source of pleasure to come to an end, - in lasting peace.

   What do you want, Drima? To go back to the cocoon as halalhippie suggested, so you can avoid making tough moral judgments?

   Hi, Finn -

   Please understand that the vast majority of Israelis — including my cousins in Haifa — have full and happy lives and have perfectly good reasons to exist without being attacked by terror organizations. They would much rather be about their daily lives.

   In fact, my cousins — and most Israelis — respect the Lebanese, identify with them and cheered for them when they kicked the Syrians out. My cousins — and most Israelis — have ALWAYS wanted peace with Lebanon. My cousins — and most Israelis — would have sacrificed to help the Lebanese, had that ever been an option. But my cousins — and most Haifan Israelis, Jewish and Arab together — are in bomb shelters or reinforced rooms now, hoping that they won’t be killed by a Hizballah rocket filled with ball bearings.

   Hizballah’s dual purpose is to murder Israelis and to project Iranian power into a region that does not want it. Israel’s only purpose is to be a place where a persecuted people can survive, even if its continued existence offends extremists.

   Some people need hatred and destruction as reasons to exist. Some do not. Please distinguish between the two. Thanks.

   Sokari, I don’t know what the nature of your comment was but ya even though the US has a foreign policy which I’m not completely in favour of, America is still a wonderfull place to visit and even live in. No question about it!

   Solomon, as for crawling back to the cocoon, NO! I said it before in a previous post… Screw the IDF big time for their lovely response and screw Hizbollah for dragging their whole country into a war they didn’t ask for.

   Tommy, ya I had a super great time. Thank God I went and experienced the country and its people for myself. It was a very mind-opening experience… An infidel is basically a non-believer so it does apply to you. However in the education system of various Muslim countries infidels are made to look “dirty” and “evil” which is certainly total rubbish so ya, the word in that sense doesn’t apply to you guyz. Great vacation indeed.

    “Screw the IDF big time for their lovely response and screw Hizbollah for dragging their whole country into a war they didn’t ask for.”

    Israel waited for several years before it responded to Lebanese attacks. Israel warned Lebanon, told them to stop it. Israel dropped fliers informing the population of Hizbullah-infested areas that attacks are forthcoming.

    What, apart from simply accepting as a fact of life the Lebanese attacks, should the IDF have done?

    The Lebanese army could have taken out Hizbullah. The argument that Hizbullah is stronger is rubbish. Hizbullah is NOT stronger than the Lebanese army and whatever ally Lebanon chooses, Israel, the US, Britain, France. Finding a powerful ally against Hizbullah is not a problem.

    When I read Lebanese blogs it becomes more and more apparent that most Lebanese would rather support Hizbullah than support peace with Israel. If the Lebanese prefer attacks on Israel over peace, why should Israel prefer peace over attacks on Lebanon?

    It’s a Lebanese decision. They could have signed a peace treaty decades ago. If they wanted peace.

    If you think that the Lebanese Army is stronger than Hezb Allah, you are lacking a lot of knowledge about Lebanon. Me and my great aunt are stronger than the Lebanese Army! If the Lebanese Army were to try to stop Hezb Allah, there would likely be a civil war.

    The ramifications of having the US, France or whomever else get rid of Hezb Allah, aer too great, especially when one considers Syria’s influence. Lebanon is simply too weak.

    The Lebanese bloggers are obviously supporting the closest thing to a home team, which is rational, and Israel’s bombing of many many civilian targets has an impact. If Israel wanted to pursuade the Lebanese to make peace, they would not kill them indiscriminantly. Its not about wanting peace with Israel, its about defending themselves. Hezb Allah does not = Lebanon. Israel’s failure to recognize this is why the Lebanese are more supportive of Hezb Allah. Hezb Allah is not dropping bombs on their homes. Israel chose to make an enemy of the whole country. Israel can defend itself, but what its doing is beyond that. It is destroying Lebanon, not Hezb Allah. It is making Hezb Allah stronger in the process. Sure it may make Israelis feel better to destroy the closest thing to a democracy the Arab world has got, but it isn’t doing them any good.

    “If you think that the Lebanese Army is stronger than Hezb Allah, you are lacking a lot of knowledge about Lebanon.”

    Who are you talking to? If you are talking to me, I suggest that you continue reading the paragraph: “Hizbullah is NOT stronger than the Lebanese army and whatever ally Lebanon chooses, Israel, the US, Britain, France. Finding a powerful ally against Hizbullah is not a problem.”.

    “The Lebanese bloggers are obviously supporting the closest thing to a home team, which is rational,”

    No, it is not. Millions of Germans once made the same mistake, mistaking loyalty to criminals for loyalty to their country.

    “and Israel’s bombing of many many civilian targets has an impact.”

    So does Hizbullah’s custom of hiding among civilians and the Lebanese custom of not doing anything against that. I am from Germany, but I don’t blame the British for bombing Germany because of the Nazis. It was OUR mistake to allow the Nazis to represent Germany. And apart from many others WE paid for that mistake.

    “If Israel wanted to pursuade the Lebanese to make peace, they would not kill them indiscriminantly.”

    And it hasn’t. Israel didn’t even shoot back until two weeks ago. And I hear the IDF dropped fliers to warn people to leave before the bombs fell.

    Your argument is not very good. It assumes that Israel kills indiscriminantly. It’s simply not true.

    Enduring attacks for several years and then warning the civilian population before shooting back is NOT “killing indiscriminantly”, unless you have re-defined that term.

    “Sure it may make Israelis feel better to destroy the closest thing to a democracy the Arab world has got”

    If that was true, Israel could have done it before. The fact that Israel waited for many years proves you wrong.
