95. The flaw in your logic |
|
Is that Hizbollah was born out of the atrocities of the Israeli occupation of Lebanon and the ongoing strife of the palestinians.
You cannot disarm them. Unless you are intending on slaughtering millions of people. It will not work - because for every bomb dropped on innocents, for every civilian whisked away never to be seen again - there are ten angry hostile individuals who seek justice. And if those 10 angry individuals have no voice in any courts, if they have no place or institution to gain either restitution or at the very least a recognition of wrong doing - then, inevitably they turn to violent means.
Make no mistake about it - you want hisbollah to become irrelevant - then ADDRESS THE PALISTINIAN CRISIS IN A FAIR MANNER. Last time Israel had a fair leader who wanted peace with Palistine - THEY MURDERED HIM - AND IT WASN'T THE PALESTINIANS WHO DID THE DEED - IT WAS RIGHT WING NUTCASE JEWISH SETTLERS.
Your rhetoric is empty - void - propeganda used to justify murder. Israel wants peace - but they also want it all. They do not support a two state solution - and have worked very hard to make the prospect of a viable state of Palestine an impossibility. You only have to look at the wall - at the enclaves of palestinians who are seperated from their livelihoods, from their land. You have only to look at what is going on in Gaza as I write. The illegal settlements continue at a frantic pace now - tear down a few to satisfy the international minders and build twice as many somewhere else.
But if your intent is to violently and militarily disable Hizbollah - it will never ever ever work unless you are prepared to commit genocide. That is just plain wrong.
