The conflict in the Middle East intensified when Hezbollah entered Israel and kidnapped two Israelis. The Lebanese government says that it's powerless to stop Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel and is not responsible for its actions. It has also called on Israel to stop defending itself. Lebanon houses and provides a safe haven for Hezbollah, a group that has been responsible for atrocities against human beings. How should the average person respond to the Lebanese government? We should respond like we would to any other government that is aiding and abetting an attempted holocaust. Hypothetical Situation What would happen if a group in Canada that had the intent on destroying America, started firing rockets from Toronto into New York City, killing innocent people? I would bet that the Canadian government would move to stop, disarm, destroy and prosecute the group of murderers. If the Canadian government claimed that it couldn't do anything to stop the group, the U.S. military would take over and do everything in its power to stop them. That's the problem facing Israel. It has do everything in its power to protect its citizenry from a group and country that is attempting to annihilate its people and destroy its country. The Lebanese government must be held accountable for the atrocities being committed by Hezbollah. As a result, the world must allow Israel to eliminate Hezbollah from Lebanon. If that means that the Israeli military needs to destroy the Lebanese infrastructure, so be it. Every sovereign nation in the world would do what it takes to protect its country. The world would understand that. It seems as if Hezbollah and the Lebanese government are united in their hatred for Jews. When it comes to Israel, anti-Semites in this world don't care that hundreds of innocent Israeli children continue to be blown up. All they care about is the destruction of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Any person who calls on Israel to back off from its current operations is a Jew hater who wants nothing more than the annihilation of the Jewish people. Jews know all to well what a Holocaust feels like. They know how it feels to have the world do nothing as millions of Jews are gassed and baked alive in ovens. Jews know all to well how it feels when ship after ship is turned away by the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, etc, knowing that the people they were turning away would be sent to gas chambers. Jews also know that the enemy in Lebanon must be stopped or Israel will be destroyed. I'm sure that world wouldn't care very much if that happened. Now the leaders in the Arab world want the U.S. to intervene. Where have these leaders been during the Iraq war? Did they help their U.S. friend? No, they didn't. Well the U.S. must let the Arab world deal with this conflict alone. It's time the U.S. started asking that its friends step up to the plate when it needs them. The United States and Israel are held to a higher moral standing by other countries. Certain countries never stand by America's side but call on her when they need her help. Israel must be allowed to do what ever it needs to eliminate Hezbollah. The time has come for the world to send a message to countries that harbor death squads. |
