POV on the Crisis in Lebanon

I can not count how many times I have heard "never talk religion, politics, and sexual orientation in polite conversation" but it is valuable advice. Last night I watched CNN with my significant other and Hezbollah or Hizb'Allah (the correct spelling in english, it's beyond me why the media didn't get it right), was being discussed by the ever so concise Anderson Cooper.

I sighed and expressed overall frustration with the state of affairs in Lebanon. My significant other took the we need to go into Lebanon and put Hizb'Allah down and secure the region for Israel. This comment just added to my frustration because I feel that Israel bullies all of their neighboring countries and behaves like a bad toddler who picks fights that he expects the big brother (America) to fight. It is about time that Israel learns to play nice in the play ground and treat others regardless of location, religion, or race as equals. It would be nice if the American government would stop spending tax dollars to support a country that is not part of America. Truthfully, regardless of how you twist or turn it Israel is independent of America and has/will make decisions that do not benefit America or Americans.

I will not support the abuse or misrepresentation of any group of people and this goes beyond location, religion, and race. If Israel was truly the victim I would be the 1st to help but when Israel oppresses others and manages to use the same scare tactics that their ancestors suffered under it upsets me profoundly. I have resolved to call for a hands of policy and only supply food and medical equipment to all parties involved. I'm truly disappointed in the actions of Israel throughout this conflict and will never again support the Israeli cause.
