Kennelijk vind je het niet erg dat Israël de palestijnen in kampen zet?

Ja, dat is een ramp, dat is volkomen duidelijk. Die Palestijnen zitten min of meer opgesloten op afgesloten stukjes land, planten zich tegelijkertijd als konijnen voort waardoor de bevolkingsdruk ondragelijk hoog is geworden, en geen buurland dat zich er daadwerkelijk om bekommert. Want laten we dat niet vergeten, landen als Syrië, Jordanië en Egypte houden die Palestijnen net zo goed opgesloten.

Daarbij is dit uiteindelijk maar een nepconflict, er is allang een Palestijnse staat: Jordanië, waar een ruime meerderheid van de bevolking Palestijns is. Gelooft er hier iemand nu werkelijk dat je op van die lapjes grond als Gaza en de Westbank levensvatbare staten kan oprichten?
'
Ontruim Gaza en sluit het aan bij Israel, de Westbank aannsluiten bij Jordanië. Israelische nederzettingen in de Westbank gaan ter compensatie naar de Palestijnen van de Gaza. Klaar is kees.

Van een Libanse blog:

Fuck you Nasrallah, coward Peace of shit!!!

NASRALLAH SHOW US YOUR DAMN ROCKETS

YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED NASRALLAH.

Wimps and masochists decide Lebanon's fate

http://www.beirutbeltway.(...)wimps_and_masoc.html

Hizbullah’s children and adult subjects took to the streets of their resistance universe to celebrate Hizbullah’s “victory” today, unaware that their celebration will soon end in bloodshed, for their beloved religious militia has just banished the country to Israel's hell.

The Lebanese cabinet could not agree on a strong unified position. Hassan Nasrallah won’t even discuss it, let alone put the interests of the country ahead of his own, or not sacrifice the livelihood of millions for the sake of a few prisoners in Israel (allegedly). There is nobody to protect the interests of Lebanese businesses and citizens who are about to lose another summer season.

This is what the Lebanese cabinet's statement said, actually:

We have nothing to do with what happened. We are not responsible. We do not condone it. We condemn the Israeli aggression. We ask the UN Security Council to convene to deal with the Israeli aggression…(Picture the always jovial Fouad Siniora with a pissed off look on his face delivering these lines).

If the current government is unable to openly and effectively chastise Hizbullah by at least suspending their ministers, then they should all pack their bags and move to the southern border and suffer the Israeli anger. The Lebanese cabinet should convene in a Hizbullah bunker. If it’s a war they are too afraid to stop, then it’s a war they should fight. This cabinet has made its bed and should deal with the consequences. There is no exception. Saad Hariri, Michel Aoun and the rest share equal blame. They need to be in the south liberating Shebaa and kidnapping Israeli soldiers. That is, after all, what they signed us up for.

Some would say that the March 14 leaders cannot risk a civil war, given the wide support Hizbullah enjoys in the Shia community. This is rubbish. The country is being destroyed anyway by an external force with mammoth powers that we cannot match. We let a group of religious fanatics lead us into a war we cannot win. Time has been wasted in a “national dialogue” that was designed to give them legitimacy and buy them time to create facts on the ground. The current government, and most of the political leadership, today stand accused of surrendering the country to the forces of destruction when they failed to stand up for its sovereignty over and over again.

Some independent people in Lebanon might start thinking that the only solution is to move the conflict to Syria and Iran. The country is on the brink of destruction, especially after the Israeli prime minister threatened to take the country back 20 years. Hizbullah and the cabinet do not care enough. It is unlikely that the international community will save Lebanon now. Why should they? Even Saad Hariri’s media has gone soft on Hizbullah all of a sudden. So the only logical thing for some might be to actively support forces opposed to the Assad regime and Tehran. Since the Lebanese army is not interested in defending the Lebanese state, then some free Lebanese might consider funding and arming militant units to work on Syrian and Iranian territories, targeting Syrian and Iranian infrastructure. There is no reason why Lebanon should lose bridges and Damascus and Tehran don’t. After all, we are all in this together, right?

As for Israel’s leaders, perhaps they should listen to Nasrallah for once. Bombing Lebanon will not deter anyone. Olmert is a wimp with high-tech war toys. A mighty power such as Israel has to go after the real source and stop the cheap targeting of Lebanese infrastructure and civilians. But Israeli leaders are still choosing the easy way out. Instead of picking enemies their own size in Damascus and Tehran, they pick to destroy the livelihood of innocents and kill and maim civilians, feeding the backward resistance culture that pervades the region. The scale of the Israeli retaliation today, Lebanese responsibility aside, was cowardly. If Hizbullah showers them with rockets, then they have asked for it. Their army was even humiliated by Hizbullah fighters, so they took it out on bridges and roads, harming the interests of the same people that Hizbullah has hijacked with their help. This will serve to reinforce Israel’s image as a terrorist bully in a region of masochists.
