Those Israeli motherfuckers...
Israel is now using all it's military force to demonstrate to the world how they don't want peace and prefer settling the borders of their state for themselves...

Det er godt å høre at du øyeblikkelig ikke vil innta samme standpunkt som AKP-Lars.
Takk for det Ronny.

Independent experts also expressed concern than any effective international force almost certainly would come in conflict with Hezbollah, especially if the mission includes disarming its militia.

"If Hezbollah paints them as an occupying force, every citizen is going to become a potential resistance operative," said Magnus Ranstorp, chief scientist for the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies at Swedish National Defense College and an expert on Hezbollah. "A force with such a mandate can easily be drawn into the fighting. In such a situation, Hezbollah gains stature, now resisting both the enemy without, Israel, and the enemy within, the multinational force."

THE HEZBOLLAH and Hamas provocations against Israel once again demonstrate how terrorists can exploit human rights and the media in their attacks on democracies. By hiding behind their own civilians, the Islamic radicals issue a challenge to democracies: Either violate your own morality by coming after us and inevitably killing some innocent civilians, or maintain your morality and leave us with a free hand to target your innocent civilians. This challenge presents democracies such as Israel with a lose-lose option and terrorists with a win-win option.

There is one variable that could change this dynamic and present democracies with a viable option that could make terrorism less attractive as a tactic: The international community, the anti-Israel segment of the media, and human rights organizations should stop falling for this gambit and acknowledge that they are being used to promote the terrorist agenda. Whenever a democracy is presented with the lose-lose option and chooses to defend its citizens by going after the terrorists who are hiding among civilians, this trio of predictable condemners can be counted on by the terrorists to accuse the democracy of ``overreaction," ``disproportionality," and ``violations of human rights." In doing so, they play into the hands of the terrorists and cause more terrorism and more civilian casualties on both sides.

If instead this trio could, for once, be counted on to blame the terrorists for the civilian deaths on both sides, this tactic would no longer be a win-win situation for the terrorists.

It should be obvious by now that Hezbollah and Hamas actually want the Israeli military to kill as many Lebanese and Palestinian civilians as possible. That is why they store their rockets underneath the beds of civilians. That is why they launch their missiles from crowded civilian neighborhoods and hide among civilians. They are seeking to induce Israel to defend its civilians by going after them among their civilian ``shields." They know that every civilian they induce Israel to kill hurts Israel in the media and the international and human rights communities. They regard these human shields as ``Shahids," or martyrs, even if they did not volunteer for the lethal jobs. Under the law, criminals who use human shields are responsible for the deaths of their shields, even if the bullets that kill them come from policemen's guns.
