Hezbollah overruns west Beirut as Lebanon on brink

I read this as Iran pushing for war with Israel. Israel cannot allow Hezbollah to gain control of Lebanon. How long will it be before Jimmy Carter intervenes?

 

Hezbollah overruns west Beirut as Lebanon on brink

 

Hezbollah gunmen seized control of west Beirut on Friday after a third day of battles with pro-government foes in the Lebanese capital pushed the nation dangerously close to all-out civil war.

 

The sectarian fighting had eased by early afternoon as the army and police moved across areas now in the hands of Shiite opposition forces who routed Sunni militants loyal to the Western-backed government.

 

"There are no clashes anymore because no one is standing in the way of the opposition forces," a security official said on condition of anonymity.

 

The rattle of gunfire and the thump of exploding rocket-propelled grenades rang out across mainly Muslim west Beirut during much of the morning as Sunni government loyalists fought street battles with Shiite gunmen.

 

At least 11 people have been killed and dozens wounded in the fighting that erupted on Thursday after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said a government crackdown on his Iranian- and Syrian-backed group was a declaration of war.

I will support any invasion of Israel. Any oppurtunity there is to return all of Israel to Palestinian control should be taken.

Why would you support taking one country's land and giving it to another?

 

Furthermore, I thought you believed that our countries military is stretched enough- but you would like to invade Israel now?

No it is silly for us to invade a country we have no business in. But I am for Iran or any other Palestianian supported government taking back Israel and returning it to rightful Palestinian control.

If we have no business in Iraq, then how do we have any business in Israel? I can understand (but disagree) with your position that we should get out of Israel completely, but how do we have more business in Israel then in Iraq?

Let me rephrase: I have no problem with any other country invading Israel, if their intentions are to return it to Palestinian control.

Oh. So you support the Palestinians. Well, I will let someone who is much more knowledgeable on the topic deal with that.

LOL My girlfriend is a Practicing Jew, so I am good at arguing this point.

The Israel-Palestine affair (as well as foreign policy in general) is not my strong point, but I do look forward to hearing both sides of the argument.

I am looking to visit a mosque in the next couple of weeks. I am currently seeking a Religion that fits my fancy, so I figured I would try them all. Does anyone know of any mosques in Lex?

You should really do some self-examination and ask yourself how your posts would be taken by Homeland Security. Iran is a state sponsor of terror and Hezbollah is their terrorist client, which has been responsible for the deliberate slaughter of many innocent men, women, and children

 

Saying that you support any invasion of Israel, which has been a dependable American ally, combined with your desire to find a mosque might be taken in the wrong way - or it might be taken in the right way. I am not sure which would be worse.

Do you find it sad, or even possibly scarey that I have to watch how I express my beliefs, which are not anti-American, to the world for fear of the government.

 

Just because they are an American ally, does not make all their future or past actions correct.

Not in the least. People who publicly express support for terrorist groups like Hezbollah should be looking over their shoulders.

Does anyone on BGP plan to report me to Homeland Big Brother.

 

Fine I will retract slightly, I support the peaceful turn over of all of Israel back to Palestine.
