Would you do the same for every Israeli woman, man and child killed by Hizballah's Katyusha's?
My respect and admiration to the people involved in these noble gestures. It's important that somebody extends the hand of solidarity and civilisation to the gravely wronged people of Lebanon to let them know that we as a people are abhorred by what was perpetrated against them.
Our government is a source of shame in it's silence on these matters.
Thanks for breaking that Silence.
This is what legal friends would call a 'leading question' - I will answer it, however, with all the seriousness and sincerity it deserves.
(1) The question equates victim with victimiserr.....it distorts reality that thousands of civilian Lebanese were massacred by the IDF last year - over and above what the Israeli Army has done during its recurring incursions into Lebanon over the last 30 years.....the Katyushas Hezbollah have are children toys compared to the technological might of the IDF and the damage the latter have inflicted on Israeli civilians has a ratio of 100:1 to the carnage and mayhem created in Lebanon by the Middle East's 'only democratic State'!!
(2) However, the loss of civilians is to be regretted and attack on civilians has to be opposed and yes, I, personally, and I am sure the comrades and friends of the iawm, would take part in any honest and non-manipulative picket organised by the Israeli Embassy or the Jewish community to commemorate its dead.
(3) Finally, to test the veracity of what I am saying, move your words into action and organise such an event...we have responded to the call of the Lebanese community above, I am sure we'll make sure we respond to any other relevant call. As the ancient Greeks used to say: "Here is Rhodes, take the jump and show us what you're made of"
