I passed by a United for Peace and Justice demonstration tonight whereon the "demonstrators" were against the Israelis acting "disproportionately". Hezbollah? They had no comments against them. Just the damn, filthy, money grubbing, coniving, conspiring stinking Jews are to blame. Nothing changes.
Civilians who cooperated with Hezbollah or even were inactive while Hezbollah carried out attacks on Israel ARE COMPLICIT with this activity!
This is a total "Not part of Solution -part of the problem" issue. Stand silent while a neighbour sets fire to another neighbour's house- don't be shocked when the burned out fellow punks EVERYBODY's shit.
I started out feeling sorry for the Lebanese- but FUCK THEM!
Well- I think perhaps a clear pointing out to the Arab (NOT MUSLIM-Indonesians don;t seem to have the weird view of history) world that they have brought every debacle on themselves by their behaviour- might be a good idea.
They are somehow allowed to persist in a world view of denial of their own misdeeds and missteps that puts the blame elsewhere- and not squarely on their own heads where it belongs...
I'm usually a liberal and I possess a degree in Colonial History, so I know the history a bit better than some others. The whole culture of the Middle east , when it comes to relations with the west is in a parlous state- far from the reality of grimy little countries with dysfunctional societies.
The only point I wish to make is that peoples should not be stereotyped, and the point of view of others should not be dismissed, even if we do thing is misguided.
I believe that only through understanding will any type of world peace and stability ever come about.
War is fine in certain circumstances and we do need to defend ourselves, but other avenues should always be considered first.
As to the Indonesians, I think the folks on Bali may not agree with your assessment of Indonesian views, at least the ones who like to plant bombs.
I also thank you for your well reasoned response to my somewhat snarky comment. I appreciate it.
not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslim : in the philipines, and thruout asia , america and europe, russia rockets with extra pellets . what would you do if they attacked america again
...because "in lieu of" means "instead of" or "in place of" & makes no sense in the context in which you used it. LOL! Your friendly grammar cop has struck!
