Well, Israel will say they committed suicide because they couldn't protect the Israeli civilians from Hezbollah almighty missiles...

Jews are people. There is also the Jewish religion. Two things. Indeed, Jewish people share the same religion. It is quite unique but not totally, I think it has similar to armenians/greek... but this doesn't make the Jews less a people. So what you say is ridicilous. It's the same like the Italians (who btw almost all are catholic...)

Very unsimilar the whole point of calling some an italian is down to there nationality, not getting all judgemental and assuming that they are catholic. Yes majority may be but thats unfair on those who aint. An example is baggio, he is a buddhist to call him an italian and imply that he is a catholic, I dont think he will be happy with it whatsoever. Jews are people, yes I knew that, I really didnt see them as any other but to refer to them as a nationality is really harsh on all the others and comes to show moreover an arrogance than anything. For all those foreigners (not much) who may live in israel and occupy different religions i.e Christinanity, i am sure they may be offended. Religion is a big thing to many people to refer to them as a different religion is disliked. I never knew armenian was actually a religion. The greek example was prehistoric and was natural to say especially as they were the only people who lived there in there own country who had such believes. Infact it was mostly prevalent in other islands too such as cyprus or crete.

Should all Israelis be Jews ? No... Israel is a democratic country and so it gives rights to other peoples living inside its country like Belgium gives rights to Jews, but Judasim is not only a religion but it's a People. That's the thing... Jews living in Belgium it's nice if the government gives them equal rights, but it's not their motherland. I suppose there are some belgian immigrants inside israel too (exchange students and such ;) ).

In a way your agreeing with hitlers claim that jews are a race?....when you mean judaism are people? what do you exactly mean? please clarify...

Im sure those exchange students cant wait to get back home :)....

Anyway, they became 8 now...

I mean, will we see any type of protest in Canada and in the Western countries for what Israel is doing right now??

I don't really care, but I think if those Canadians were killed in Iraq, God save the whole Arab people in Canada...:disagree:

Its not painfull, if its the only way to save whats left of lebanon then so be it, I never asked and the goverment surely didnt ask hezeb allah to kidnap those soldiers.

Listen man im an arab and im pro palestine, i'll always consider israel as an enemy untill we sign a peace treaty with them, which wll most likely never happen atleast not in my life span however me as a lebanese have priorities after all that weve through 25 years of civil war syrian control (which ended last year) israel attacks (1993 1996 and so on) we deserve peace, we're sick of beeing in the middle of wars that most of the lebanese are against, wars driven by foreign powers, weve had enough. I want to build my country back, grow its economy, see my kids(if i manage to survive untill i spouse and reproduce) grow without beeing killed, threatned daily, murdered brutally etc..

WEVE HAD ENOUGH, I THINK I SPEAK ON THE BEAHLF OF MOST LEBANESE.

Leonard Cohen is a Jew and he's a buddhist. How do you explain that ? Note: He still says he's a Jew.

Jews are people, yes I knew that, I really didnt see them as any other but to refer to them as a nationality is really harsh on all the others and comes to show moreover an arrogance than anything.
Jews are a people. If you agree there, then we have no disagreement. The nationality is named "israeli" but that's the nationality for the Jewish people like "italian" is for italians. It's just a name.

For all those foreigners (not much) who may live in israel and occupy different religions i.e Christinanity, i am sure they may be offended.
Israel could have been called Judea or Jewish State, there were actually suggestions to call it that. Israel is another name for "Judea". If you need the historical explanation, I can give it to you (there were two kingdoms, Israel compunds the 12 tribes in general, in short... essentially for today it's the same).

Religion is a big thing to many people to refer to them as a different religion is disliked. I never knew armenian was actually a religion.
well now you know. It actually is, the Armenian church.

Personally, I think the dodginess of the moment is that nobody in the Israeli government is talking about the hostages anymore. Suddenly it's about Hizballah (spelling) and how Lebanon has to eliminate them if they want a cease-fire.

Was the kidnap-motive a smoke screen?
Of course it is, now wait a couple of weeks and the world will turn against Iran and/or Syria and a military strike on them is due in 2 or 3 month time...:(
