What if Israelis start killing Americans? It could easily happen because Americans are also pinned down by Israel's discriminate attacks. If Israelis kill Americans then who's side are we supposed to be on? I can't accept that Israeli lives are more important than American lives or the rights of Israelis are superior to ours. If Americans in Lebanon are killed by Israelis then Americans have the right to defend themselves.
These so called news organizations sound like Christian Neocons praying for the end of the world. They are reporting news in a way as if World War 3 is inevitable. In their minds Hezbollah is already over hear waiting to attackj America. It's an election year and they are trotting out the boggie man for the Republicans.

Title: Church of Reality denounces Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
Marc Perkel - founder of the Church of Reality has today issued and edict condemning the Israeli invasion. "Israel has gone insane." say Marc Perkel who was raised Jewish and now stand is shock at what he is witnessing in Lebanon. "This invasion is absolutely unjustified - it is wrong. Israel destroyed the sovereign nation of Lebanon, a newly formed western style democracy who would be the kind of nation that would have been Israel's friend. Israel destroyed their roads, their airports, their ports, their power plants, and indiscriminately bombing civilian cities killing hundreds of innocent people far from the southern border. Lebanon is not Hezbollah and Hezbollah is not Lebanon. Israel is destroying the wrong enemy. Israel is destroying its own standing in the world community"
"This is unproductive in that by launching an unjust war Israel has empowered its enemies showing that Israelis are terrorists too. Israel can not win the peace by mass slaughtering innocent people and destroying a neighboring nation in an unprovoked attack. Israel has given Islamic terrorists a new tool for recruiting assassins to kill not only Israelis, but citizens from the rest of the civilized world. Israel has put world peace at risk and this attack is an attack against civilization itself."
The Church of Reality asserts that Israel is not above international law and it should have gone to the United Nations first to get a consensus of the world community and acted along with other nations in a coordinated and well thought our response. "To start a war over the kidnapping of two people is just plain wrong. You don't kill hundreds to save two. That's crazy!"

America is trying hard to get Americans out of Lebanon so that American's aren't killed by enemy forces who are attacking. Who are these forces who Americans are running from? Israelis? But I thought Israel was our friend. I'm so confused.
Letter to the Editor
In 1947 the world community gave Israel to the Jewish community in sympathy for the holocaust. For the last 60 years Israel has been considered a good member of the civilized world for the most part who only went to war when it had to and after it had been attacked. But this new war is different and unjustified. A nation doesn't start a war over 2 hostages. If we started a war every time a few hostages were captured the entire planet would always be at war.
The people of the world like to stand with the country that is morally right. We want to support the "good guys" in any conflict. In this case however Israel is not the good guys and some of the people they are attacking are not the bad guys. Israel has shown an arrogance and an indifference towards the lives of civilians including its own citizens and have brought war to the world community, as if we need more of that. I used to think that a Jewish state was a good idea but now I realize that any time any nation falls under control of a religion that they become war like and irrational. Israel may win the battles but they are losing the support of the world and in the long run they might find themselves shunned and isolated. I believe that there is a price for an unjust war and I don't think Israel understands the true cost of their poor judgment.
