From the Post today:
Analysts and the Israeli military estimate that Hezbollah had anywhere from 12,000 to 16,000 rockets. The military estimates that Hezbollah has fired nearly 3,500 rockets into Israel -- most of them the medium- and shorter-range varieties.
I don’t know how many Hezbollah rockets Israel has destroyed. But I do know that the Post’s numbers mean that Israel has put as many as 29 per cent of them out of commission. Unfortunately, they’ve done so by provoking Hezbollah to fire them at Israel.`

Provoked? Are you kidding?
Why is that Hezbollah's attacks are viewed as "retalliatory" but Israel's is viewed as "attacks"? Hezbollah has been allowed to retaliate for 20+ years in spite of UN resolutions. If your neighbor said they wanted you dead and get shooting at your house, would you justpull inthe children from that nice backyard of yours or would you act?
I guess you would bring over cookies and ask them to stop.
That last paragraph doesn't even make sense? How could Israel put something out of commission that has already been used or fired?
Liberal appeasers and the media are beginning to be exposed for who they are. From photo falsification in Qana to outright appeasement by media such as yourself, the Islamic militants count people like yourself as an ally. Does that make you sleep well at night? When you tuck in your kid or wife or whoever you love and hold dear, imagine them with their throat slit because that is what happened to Daniel Pearl and what would happen to yourself if you were on the street over in Iran or Jordan.
Look up the Islamic word, dhimmi. Use that big brain of yours.
Wake yourself up and get past your hatred for the current administration. Bush is gone in 1.5 years.
There is support for Hezbollah in our own country. Rallies in Dearborn are just the beginning. A political force that advocates the destruction of not just Israel but YOU as well is getting stronger with every paragraph people like yourself write about how bad we are and how victimized they are. 85% of Lebanon supports Hezbollah - does that make that 85% terrorist supporters? Go against the norm of your cocktail party pals where you pat yourself on the back for being a true "patriot" because you spoke out against Bushitler.
Take 6 pages to tell me how we failed in Iraq and how we just want a hegemony over there. I say great! We should establish a presence over there - we are colonists, it's in our nature. If you think about it far back enough, then why don't you go back to Germany or wherever your great-great-grandparents came from because the Indians were here first. Everyday you get up and grab your half-caf, double-latte on the way to work, you are living the life of a hypocrite yourself. No better than the people you poke holes in.
So proud of our accolades - we spray them across our websites and crow for ourselves. Wear your laurels high - it'll stretch out your neck all the more easily for them.
Support Israel now!
