The army can handle the palesitinians, yes I know it took them forever in nahr el baled but they were able to do it and they did it by avoiding civilian casualties.. so I know it would have gone a lot faster if they were inhumane and just blasted the place..
So basically what I am trying to say is that there is a fear that hizballah can start another war at any time, and that is not a situation people like to be in, powerless and no control over what happens in your own country.. and please don;t try to attack me for the way I think cause I can guarantee you a lot of people feel the same way so try to understand that and figure out a way to make that fear go away... |
No labelling whatsoever, dont worry. Just try to follow this reasoning:
If there are armed strangers in your country vs. armed fellow citizens, regardless of motives and causes, who would you want to disarm first?
Keep in mind that one of the reasons that Shiites carried arms was not only to fight Isreal, but also because of the persecution they suffered at the hands on palestinians in the south.
Want more? Did the palestinian weapons achieve anything in the past 50 yrs? Did HA weapons achieve anything?
More? Were palestinian weapons ever used against you? Were HA weapons ever used against you?
I hope you reach the same conclusion as I did.
