I didn't want to see that image, but somebody tagged a bunch of people on the photo from some Palestinian group. These are the images even Al Jazeera cannot cover.

    Martyrs die for a cause. They died for nothing. They're not martyrs, they're people who should never have been killed in the first place.
    They died for a cause too

    They stayed in their houses to protect them from being stolen by martians, and that is a noble cause even if you don't rate it a direct cause.

    Exactly. It's all a bunch of bullshit.



    No, I wouldn't. A spy is a spy, and should be dealt with accordingly. Don't put words in my posts, Andries.

    It's hard for people over here to be aware because it involves reading, not watching.
    The guy who got killed deserved to be killed is the opinion of some of the most important news papers over here though. Not so lovely as people make him out to be. But hey, Israel killed him, so he was great, right? I suppose you haven't really checked who he was?

    Whether or not we're truly talking about a spy here is not yet established or at least I don't find any reliable news sources about it and I hate to use to use fishy news articles as in cases like this it's always difficult to know what actually happened.

    No, I don't want to you think that I believe that they didn't die for a just cause or anything, it's that I don't believe they are martyrs in the original sense of the word. I myself would never use the word martyr today as it is going to lose you a lot of friends if you do anyway.

    I saw a video that was not accepted by Aljazeera to broadcast because it contained so horrible images of people dying.

    If you want, I may look for it for you.

    I think their point is, without disrespect to either side; that since the war has no meaning and will never have a positive outcome then there is no reason to call them martyrs...

    Am I right CheSchifo?

    It's a cultural thing.

    We can also argue for 100+ pages how one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. [Hamas, Hezballah etc.]

    @ Schifo No matter how you try to convince us, the Arab perspective by default is that these innocent people are martyr's of war. Because we believe in a nation that is called Palestine. That's in theory, of course.

    In practice? They can't even put their interests aside for an Arab summit. :rolleyes:

    These martyrs are the candles that lighten the freedom road for the Palestinian people.

    Whether you like it or not, that is how they are seen here.

    To be honest, when thousands are getting slaughtered, one spy doesn't really matter to me.

    Thanks, but I can't handle too many of these images each day.

    Just a thought, from the article I posted earlier.

    Two "Conspiracies" and why we're afraid of each other:

    Israel fears their security, because they believe certain Arabs (and a Persian nut-case) wish to destroy them: With Hamas crowds and Hezballah crowds who chant "Death to Israel", accummulate arms etc.

    Palestine / Lebanon / Syria believe Israel is still a Zionist movement that seeks to fulfill the prophecies of Theodore Herzl, and the dreams of David Ben-Gurion: To occupy an from the north the entire stretch from the Litani river (LEBANON) to the east (JORDAN) of the Transjordan, and to the western Sinai (EGYPT).

    Sinai was lost in 1977 Camp David. South Leb was lost in 2000 thanks to Hezballah + Political pressure (even Israeli's admit invading Lebanon was a 'mistake' - though I find this very tongue-in-cheek and hard to believe).

    There are alot of greater interests at stake, regionally speaking; so Israel has to maintain this power this at-all-costs attitude toward its neighbors.

    Just rambling on with some thoughts........I don't know where we're going with this. I don't know if Obama's reign will change anything either.

    Good night........

    Why didn't you want to see them? You don't want to get used to them? I believe these are what keeps Hamas going, it's can't get any worse than that, can it? It's either the baby or the soldier or soldier first thn the baby or baby first then the soldier.

    I don't want to see it because I already know that this is the reality over in Gaza, that Palestinians have to live in a burning hell of occupation and nonstop terrorism. The more one sees pictures of innocent children decapitated, the more it wears on the mind.

    This is not "conspiracy theory", it is reality. The leaders of Israel are hardcore Zionists who have no regard for their neighbors whatsoever, so they will always have the burning, fetish like sensations of fulfilling their hero Herzl's dreams. And the way one can tell that Israel will not stop until their neighbors are wiped out is by simply looking at a map of Palestinian land lost since 1948 - it decreases every single half decade.

    Governments have been known to stage attacks on themselves to justify certain actions, and that probably is the case right now with these rogue "Lebanese rockets" that nobody has taken responsibility for. Another incentive to attack Lebanon again and take control of more land there is for petroleum purposes, where it would be easier to tap into the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan pipeline that is so coveted by the West. It was rumored that the 2006 bombing of Lebanon was due to the opening of the BTC pipeline, where individuals in the Israeli government were hoping for a "Greater Lebanon" that could secure more oil for their beloved nation. There are too many factors in place for them to cut back on their military expeditions, something aggressively supported by the military industrial complex.

    If they haven't stopped yet, why would they stop now? There is more to come and nothing will end until one entity is destroyed.

    On a related note, don't hope for much from Obama. Even myself, someone who voted for him, can see his picks for positions have been nothing short of ludicrous, surrounding himself with degenerate traitors and crisis instigators, so nothing will change, which is a major shame.

    I wouldnt take the chance. The rockets that were shot from south Lebanon into Israel DEFENITELY reeks of false flag, meaning a staged action of a faction that want to start an invasion by inventing a "they attacked us" scenario. You would be astounded how common such a thing is.

    I'm not usually much for paranoid stuff, but that little event is very suspicious IMO. Not a good sign for things to come, I remember suspicious signs, and shady rhetorics by Israeli officials 2 years ago some month before they invaded you. Remember my international relations mentionning the signs and shift in obsecure rhetorics to look for when a state is preparing aggressive action, and he took Israel's two invasions of Lebanon as example. It was bit freaky.
