| 38. That is a very ignorant statement. |
|
Israel invaded in 1982 because the PLO was using Lebanon as a base for attacks on Israel. They beat the PLO, but then started taking casualties from other groups in Lebanon such as Hezbollah and got caught up in the same quagmire we are in in Iraq where they basically kept saying, "We have to finish the mission.". This most recent time, Hezbollah provoked Israel big time. Israel did not fight its war against Lebanon. It fought it against Hezbollah. Believe me, if they wanted to make war on the Lebanese people, many many times more people would be dead.
Despite all the anti-Israeli rhetoric on this site, Israel has fought very few, if arguably any, offensive wars. Its neighbors are almost uniformly the aggressors.

Disarm Hezbollah and you disarm LEBANON, which leaves them open to attack |
