How difficult is it to point out who the aggressors are. 1. Israel occupies land belonging to other countries by force. 2. Israel has hundreds of hezbullah prisoners that they forcibly took from the land they occupied. 3. Hezbullah takes 2 Israeli soldiers as their prisoners 4. Israel starts out an all offensive war. Firing rockets into Lebanon. 5. The wrongful aggressor? Israel without a shadow of doubt. 6. The propaganda machine continues to hypnotize the common Americans that the cause of war was the aggression shown by the Hizbullahs in kidnapping the 2 Israeli soldies. 7. What's wrong with the logic here. Israelis have 100's of Hizbullah prisoners already. What's wrong with Hizbullah having 2 more israeli prisoners. 8. The common American people need to start demanding why the US govt is creating terrorists by their actions of support towards Israels occupation and aggression. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% There are questions raised with regards to if Islamic Terrorists are going to go away if Israels gives up the occupied territory. First of all, as long as the territory is occupied, people from those countries are going to grow up knowing that they are being suppressed. Human beings prize freedom and will oppose the forceful occupation. Terrorism is never going to end. If Israel gives up the occupation, then pretty soon there is going to be a new generation of Palestines and Lebanese who don't even have a need to feel suppressed. So at some point in time .. lets say next generation, such terroristic inclination will be highly reduced. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% There is also a cultural aspect to terrorism. You know how in Nepal when a bus driver backs up and kills a person, the people passing by gets agitated and burns the bus down. This lies in the culture. We are social people, we are very much tied to our societies. In the US, people would simply ignore other things happening around them and go their own ways. It's a individualistic cultural. Look at the Islamic Culture in the current context. When a bully tries harms other Muslims, the sense of islamic brotherhood deepens and they want to unite to stop the forces that are the causes of Islamic suppression in parts of the world. Israel forcibly occupies Palestine and Lebanon with the help of US fire power. Some of the displaced people turn into the freedom fighters for their land. These people, because of lack of organized structure and finances, turn to creating havoc in Israel and countries supporting Israel. Which in turn increases the Israeli offensive. Now, because of the religious and cultural ties, other islamic people begin to feel that the attacks are directed to Muslims, in addition to the fact that Israel was the wrongful aggressor in the first place, consequently other muslims start to feel wronged. Thus 'terrorism' spreads in more islamic countries. The attack on Iraq by the US is just a continuation of the occupation that the US supported Israeli army had begun couple of decades ago. The hegemony of military aggression continues unbridled.
