Got this crap (see extended entry, I won’t put it on the front page) in the mail today.
My response is as follows: Folks, if you want Israel to stop kicking the shit out of you, turn on Hezbollah and destroy them. The only war crime here is Hezbollah making war from among your civilians.
None of what’s happening in Lebanon had to happen. Hezbollah started this. Israel is just responding to an act of war. If your civilians are aiding and abetting the terrorists by letting them hide among them, that’s your civilians’ problem. If your civilians haven’t got the guts to toss Hezbollah out on its ear, then I’m afraid they’re going to have to live with the consequences.
I’m all for a free and independent Lebanon, but you have to get rid of the Syrians and the Iranians and shut down Hezbollah before anyone in the free world is going to take you seriously.
Werd.

For you are my all, My Lebanon
Some say it is not the time to be sentimental, it is time to fight back the real terrorism in this world.
However, I cannot help the tears running down my cheek, and the sorrow breaking down my heart.
For in the name of which justice Israel had the right to love us so much?
For how can they ask their children to sign the gifts they are sending us to Lebanon?
For how can these human beings (if there is anything left out of humanity in them) can hurt the Lebanese so much, after being hurt so much?
The victim cannot turn to an oppressor. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe all Israelies are war criminals like their government. I refuse to believe that in the name of fighting terrorism we destroy the beautiful land where Jesus made his first miracle.
God, if you still have some faith in your creation, I call upon you Reveal yourself, for peace is bleeding without your help. Human beings are becoming real savages, life is becoming much more then what we deserve to have.
You, the man above, look at the children of Lebanon
