Do you agree with comparing the IDF with Hezbollah?

I don't think it's anywhere close to a valid comparison and he has every right to be questioned on it. While I don't agree with HOW White Doors / Azure is doing the questioning, it needs to happen.

Answer it.

You are obviously defending Hezbollah's actions.

A direct comparison? No. A comparison in tactics presently being used? Yes. I agree Israel has a right to protect itself, but I can't buy what they have done in this engagement. It is terrorism IMO. It's no better than the "shock and awe" bull**** the Americans pulled in Iraq, which was blatant terrorism. Remember Calc, two wrongs don't make a right. Israel should be taking the high road and should be using their special forces to battle Hizbollah.

Sure, question away, just bring something along to support your point of view. There's a reason why White Doors, HOZ and Azure all get lumped together. They don't bring anything tangible to back themselves up. I swear, I see one more ****ing link to a blog and I'm going to scream. Those are NOT reliable sources of anything. But for those people being dicussed, its the best support to their narrow minded view that they have. It's hard to take anyone serious when they consider a blog more credible than an actual accreditted news agency.

But we are to take you seriously when you believe and preach tthat US/Israel perpetuated 9/11. That a missle went into the pentagon and NOT a jetliner. That the world trade centres were a controlled demolition and NOT the result of a jet liner being flown into it. You question the sacrifice the victims 9/11 took and I'm the one who is a nut?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Actually, I'm doing the exact opposite.

I dont' entirely disagree with you. Israel should have shown a lot more restraint than they have - but no matter what they do, they get criticized. If anything, they're copying the techniques that Hizbollah/Hezbollah (spelling of the day) have demonstrated. If Flash Walken is going to criticize Israel for it, he'd better be willing to criticize Hezbollah for it - something he has never even hinted at.

Sometime, a point of view can stand on its own. If I have a question/criticism, I don't need someone else standing behind me. I can question / criticize it on my own merits.

Always? No, you're right. Sometimes, they do provide valid points and cause more discussion. It was a blog that pointed out the invalid Reuter's photos.

IMO, to use blogs as your sole source of news or information is just as bad as totally dismissing them.

What are your thoughts on the whole thing?

I felt that I was pretty clear in questioning any difference in tactics between the IDF and a 'terrorist' organization.

By only questioning one side? Good tactic. That's a sure way to get your point across...

Ok, you're obviously lost.

If a democratic nation has to point to moral equivalency with a 'terrorist' organization in regards to their methods and tactics, then they've already lost.

And once again I get put on the spot.....
