OK GUYS, THIS SUMMER ISRAEL INVADED LEBANON? Why the FUC** DID THEY DO IT?

Question

I am a Canadian originally Irish. This summer I traveled to dubai for vacation and i was watching al-jazeerah with my arab friend who was translating it for me.There is nothing wrong with it. And I can't believe what crap we get here with cnn in North America. And while watching al-jazeerah We saw the beginning of the war in the summer
Here is the main Cause:

SO 2 ISRALI SOLDIERS WERE GOING TO LEBANON TO SPY ON THEIR TROOPS. SO WHEN THESE 2 SOLDIERS WERE CAUGHT, THEY WERE PUT IN JAIL AS ANY GOVERMENT WOULD DO. WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL WAS ASKED WHY THESE SOLDIERS WERE THERE, HE DIDNT ANSWER AND DEMANDED FOR LEBANON TO RETURN THEIR SOLDIERS, AND LEBANON ASKED THE PRIME MINISTER TO RETURN THEIR PEOPLE WHO WERE IN JEWISH PRISON. AND THEN ISRAEL STARTED WAR AND WAS HITTING THE CITIZENS, SO LEBANON DIDNT WANT TO HIT THE CITIZENS AND BY THE END OF THIS NON SENSE IT CAUSED AROUND BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMMAGE AND THE JEWS ARE HAPPY THAT THEY KILLED ANOTHER MUSLIM
What youthnk

Answer 1

If by "this summer" you mean "last summer" (2006), then the answer is because a terrorist group called Hezbollah, operating out of Lebanon and without the sanction of the Lebanese govt, captured Israeli troops and lobbed rockets at Israeli cities.



So, Israel went after the people who were attacking them, which meant crossing into Lebanon. So, while they did technically invade Lebanon, Lebanon as a country as not their target. In fact Lebanon didn't even get involved until weeks later, when they created a buffer between Isreal and Hezbollah.



You should have been around then. The direct information coming in was a lot more accurate than whatever you're quoting from.

Answer 2

Well actually there were more soldiers caught in Lebanon and the others were killed and those 2 were "kidnapped" by Hezbollah... Israel said this war it's against Hezbollah,not Lebanon,but this didn't stopped them from killing 1000 Lebanese civilians and destroying the whole country...

Anyway according to the last news,it seems that the war was planned 4 months before the kidnapping of the soldiers and that the soldiers were just an excuse to invade Lebanon...Israel definitely doesn't care about them now....

Answer 3

Vlad- Hezbollah abducted Israeli infantrymen and fired missiles in to northern Israeli villages and cities. those missiles have been aimed in the direction of harmless civilians- additionally, Israel despatched warnings to the civilians of Lebanon telling them to evacuate, and that Israel became going to invade, because of the fact they have been at conflict with Hezbollah, not Lebanon. via warning the civilians, they took out the factor to ask your self making themselves vulnerable. the actual questions is, why has Russia funded Syria, Iran and Lebanon? Are they soliciting for difficulty, you asked the question to make Israel look like the undesirable guy, while that's Russia that's the difficulty maker

Answer 4

Two Israeli soldiers were captured in Israel. Were they spying on Lebanese inside their own country?



Hezbollah layed down a fire of ketyusha rockets as a distraction before the kidnapping. They must have been prophets, huh? They knew in advance that the Israelis would cross the border and just needed a little help?



Or do you think that Israel invaded bacause since 1979 rockets have been fired on Israeli cities?



Rather than listening to either Jazeira news sources OR CNN, read some books. There's one you might be interested in, written by a Lebanese native who witnessed every Lebanese Israeli conflict up-close and personal!

Answer 5

You obviously don't understand what happened.



Israel was not fighting Lebanon, they were fighting Hezbollah who is in Lebanon. Israeli soldiers were attacked by Hezbollah and in the attack they killed 3 Israeli soldiers and kidnapped 2. No one was "caught spying." And they were never put in jail by the government.



Israel has a right to defend itself and retaliate to such attacks. Stop posting this non sense.





al-jazeerah is a propaganda machine, you can not believe what you hear there.

Answer 6

OK, guy, Hezbollah, is a terrorist organization based in and controlling southern Lebanon with the aim of wiping Israel out. They were shooting rockets into northern Israel. Israel asked them to stop. Hezbollah would not. Israel warned Hezbollah that if they did not stop attacking Israel, Israel would have to put a stop to it. Hezbollah ignored the warning and killed several people, including women and children, with their rockets. Israel was left with no choice but to defend itself, which in this case meant to go into Lebanon and stop Hezbollah from firing their rockets. Further they had kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Israel wanted them back. Hezbollah refused even after they were given the warning.



If the US was firing rockets into Canada, would you not expect Canada to defend themselves? If the US had kidnapped two Canadian soldiers (Does Canada have soldiers?), you would just shrug your shoulders and say, "Too bad?"



How about if next holiday, you visit Israel and have a friend translate the news for you? Make sure you stay in northern Israel so you can spend your holiday in fear and have a taste of what the Israelis go through everyday just because they have some crazy notion that they have the right to exist? Don't forget to ride the buses, too. I think you anti-Semitic.

Answer 7

The aim of this war was to destroy Hezbollah. Israel (as always) thought that it could destroy its enemies in short time, also Israel expects to destroy it enemies and get nothing in return. Israel planned to destroy Hezbollah in 2 weeks, so it had to go into war with Hezbollah regardless of the cause of this war, fortunately, Israel found a convincing excuse. But, when Israel realized the strength of Hezbollah they started targeting civilians and infra-structure in order to put Hezbollah under national pressure from the Lebanese people. That didn't work either, because the Lebanese people were a prominent example of bravery. But I think that Nazrallah tried to stop this war because it was driving his country 20 years back in time. And I also think that USA used Israel as a tool in this war.

Answer 8

The Israelis did what they had to do to provide for the national defense. Some terrorists snatched to soldiers and fired upon innocent civilians, but their the innocent party right? Israel invaded completely unprovoked to have a little fun i guess

Answer 9

They got fed up with being shot at from across the border. I suppose that if Americans fired missiles into Canada, you would not be pleased. The business about Israeli spies in Lebanon is a fantasy.

Answer 10

I thought summer, at least for North America was during the months of June, July and August. Of course CNN just bombards their side of the story. I read online newspapers from other countries and its amazing to read the amount of stuff that never makes it to the news. I have even encountered news about my own country that never made it into the news ether. It comes as no surprise.

How sad.

Answer 11

Israel was being attacked from Lebanon (artillery and men). Israel merely defended itself!



Listen to both sides of the story not just one side and you won't sound ignorant!

Answer 12

DUDE!!!



DO YOU KNOW WHAT AL-JAZEERA IS?!?!



ITS THE ONLY NEWS STATION FOR ISLAMIC (GENERALLY FANATICAL) COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST



ok ill stop capping..



Its based in Tehran, Iran and owned by the Iranian government, along with other islamic organizations...



Iranian Government, mind you, has not only called Israel the enemy, boldly, but it has called for its EXTINCTION... It has also declared the EXTINCTION of the United States of America...



Why? Why do you think... they are Islamic fanaticals that hate the Jews.. why? No, not because the Jews took Israel.. Israel was the Jews before the Muslims took it decades before... the Jews never took Israel, they reclaimed it.. its because both religions claim Mohammed to be one of their own...



Al-Jazeera plays in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and many other countries known for their fanatical muslims...



Its severe anti-Israel, anti-American propaganda... and the fact that you are so outraged by the skewed information should be a wake-up call to you. honestly...



imagine you are a Muslim and just heard that on Al-Jazeera..

you can probably realize why so many Muslims strap bombs on themselves and do such rediculous and vile things against Americans and Jews...



Now, you should realize how damaging this news station is!!



Israel is what keeps the Middle East together. I mean that seriously... Israel is what keeps the fanatical muslims in the Middle East in check. For decades, its been Israel vs Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Afghanistan, etc... All countries that would litterally nuke themselves if it meant Israel would perish.. Its absolutely amazing they have survived so long. It takes such amazing courage, pride, dedication, and bravery to do such a thing... If you havent noticed with the War on Terror... the terrorists (fanatical muslims) dont play nice, nor by the rules.. to defeat the enemy, you must play like the enemy.. its like the saying.. kinda-sorta goes... =P



Israel doesnt just go picking fights, it does what it hasto to survive.. Hamas and Hezbullah fought dirtier the Israel did in that war.



Want another update about this Al-Jazeera media outlet...



They broadcast speeches by Osama Bin Laden (of which are meant to rally al-queda and demean America + Israel) ...



They have broadcasted the beheading of 1 NATO officer...



They have broadcasted the beheading of Armstrong...



They have broadcasted the beheading of Paul Johnson...



They have broadcasted the beheading of Nick Berg...



Al-Jazeera IS A TERRORIST MEDIA OUTLET!!



I HATE LIBERALS WITH A PASSION...



BUT TO COMPARE CNN TO AL-JAZEERA IS LIKE... O HELL NO ABUGARERO!!!



(btw, none of what i said above was supposed to be anti-muslim... its not muslims that are the ones causing the troubles in the Middle East.. infact, most muslims.. like the young generations in Iran, are trying to overthrow the fanatical muslims i am talking about above. Theres a fine difference between "fanatical muslims" and "muslims" ...)

Answer 13

So, just because you saw it while in a muslim country, CNN is all wrong. Is this a troll? Oh and BTW, cool it with the caplock in the future. Take a prozac and chill out. If I was Israel with all they have suffered from the palis I would have wiped them out years ago.

Answer 14

You are an idiot first of all. Having said that, Hezbollah is a terrorist group that has ties to Iran, and kidnapped Israeli troops. Iran wants to "wipe Israel off the map." Wouldn't you be freaked out if terrorsts captured your hockey players?

Answer 15

lmao Yazan, you are obviously Lebanese



Israel is surrounded by millions of radical muslims who want to blow them off the map......Israel can not be "reactive" when its comes to national security, they need to be "procavtive" otherwise she will become victim to Jihad by militant Islamists using religion to hide behind. And last i checked, Hamas and the Hezbo's are terrorist groups backed by Iran and Syria and maybe Al Gore and Hugo Chavez

Answer 16

What I heard was that the Israeli Mossad was attempting to kill a Hizb Allah official when they were interrupted. The two Israeli Soldiers were part of the Team that went into Lebonan with them. Hizb Allah refused to return them because they were spies engaged in assasination. Israel Attacked and got it's nose bloodied.

Answer 17

Crud you... I think Israeli soldiers were kidnapped in their own country!!! Evil Hezbollah and death to terrorists!!!

Answer 18

please don't watch al-jareeza it's full of lies. Israel invaded Lebanon because hezbollah was firing at them. so they had to kill some of the terrorists off, and they did.

Answer 19

I think maybe you should move there, then after living there awhile you will see who a little full of crap, and who's is a total BS artist.

Answer 20

I think you need to research more. You can't take one thing you hear and run with it. They are only trying to protect themselves and what is rightfully theirs.

Answer 21

Simply put...They deserved it and lots more..
