Reply #29: It's the absence of the rest

[sandnsea]

That's been my personal point since the whole thing started. It's the absence of genuine criticism of Hezbollah, real acknowledgement of what has happened in northern Israel these last few years, where the real criminal acts start from. It isn't right to fling words like "criminal" at Israel in the absence of almost any comment about Hezbollah at all. I see that at DU far too often and when it's confronted, people say "yeah Hezbollah is bad" BUT and then let off with paragraphs long tirades about Israel. That is quite disproportionate too. The fact is, Hezbollah (and Hamas) is the enemy of peace in the ME; not Israel. The sooner all the ME countries denounce these terrorist groups and sit down to real negotiations with the Palestinians, the sooner we can end this madness once and for all. You don't have to sign on to the Bush PNAC regional occupation plan to denounce these terrorist groups for the benefit of all the innocent victims in the ME.
