See, in today’s world, governments have to manipulate the public before they can attack their enemies. If you want to invade another country, you just provoke them until they get pissed off enough to do something, then just say you’re defending your self from their attacks. Yea, they’re catching on.
I mean Hizbollah’s stated reason for taking two Israeli prisoners was the over 600 Palestinian children under the age of 16 that Israel holds in prison. Israeli children routinely attack Palestinians with stones in the settlements, but Palestine doesn’t get to put them in jail and Israel doesn’t seem to care too much. Taking two prisoners seems like a pretty reserved response to me.
So, in this video, Israeli soldiers killed this man’s wife when they decided to blow open the door to their house with explosives. They attempted to suppress the video of it. Now that it’s out they say they’re really, really sorry.
To me it seems pretty obvious that if you systematically did that to some segment of the American population, say some gun-n-Bible toting militia group, you’d have a war on your hands pretty quick here too.
The US Army should start randomly shelling beaches too. I’m mean the whole point it just to get people scared so they’ll be more easy to manipulate. Hell, I bet if they shelled American beaches eventually we could invade all the Arab countries. Then there’d be McDonald’s everywhere (with drive-thru’s) and enough oil to turn the planet to big crispy tarball.
Videos like this make me root for Hizbollah. Even though I don’t share their belief in invisible deities, I guess I have a thing for the underdog. A comment on mefi complains that these videos are all too one-sided. I agree, pretty one sided. Bottle rockets against fighter jets.
Israel and Lebanon are countries, just like ours. I’m sure there’s many different opinions within Israel and Lebanon. We all have our nut cases. Still, the people running things over in Israel these days sure must like people hating them. Maybe we should help them build their wall around themselves. Oh, wait, we already are.
