Conflicts

I'm sure everyone has heard of the conflicts between the Hezbollah militants and Israel troops near the Lebanon-Israel borders these days.

I was looking through the reports and pictures and would like to share some of them with everyone. As well as some of my views and comments.

More protests



Flag burning time



Here we can see there are a lot of protests, flag burnings, chantings and cursing of different nationalities against the hostilities of israeli troops. I find this issue of cursing, protests etc etc more of an act of ignorance by whoever are taking part in them.

Firstly, will the burning and protesting really stop all the bombing?

Secondly, are they addressing the real issue here?

Thirdly, are they protesting against the aggression or in support of their faith or country?


Over the past 15 years, many global events had happened. Invasion of Kuwait, counterattacks into Iraq, war in Chechnya, Hostage taking in Russia(or is it Ukraine)theatre, Madrid bombing, Japan gas attacks, WTC tower crashes, Afghanistan invasion...

Aggressors always have their supporters cheering for them, the defenders protesting... everyone who has a closer connections to any party will start to rally to their cause. Normal human behavior, unfortunately.

So how are we going to judge which party is correct or wrong? Social norms? World wide agreements? Religion and faith?

In the end, everyone has a different view of how things go.




Griefing over fallen comrades




Destruction in Beirut




Remains of war...


Every party suffer. Militants capture Israeli troopers. Israeli retaliate. Citizens suffers. To me, in this case, it is a prolong tension between the neighbouring nations and Israel that had been threatening to spill.

Hezbollah spills it.

Israeli troops enters Lebonese territory to recover their comrades and hunt down the original aggressor.

Mmmmm.... sounds uncivilised? Unfortunately this has been how things are going for certain issues in this world. I personally believed that many so called 'terrorist' groups always have plenty of support behind them. In this case, a strong muslim presense in the middle east. The militant group, over years of antagonised relation with the jewish state, acts with accordance to their own view of fairness.

As for the jewish state, having two of their soldiers captured, how do they react? Over the years of dealing with people who will probably NOT listen to them, the only other way is through aggression.

Question. Diplomacy?

HAHAHAHA..... diplomacy is for..... personal benefits... do you see USA charging into the border screaming for everyone to stop with their cruise missle, SEALS and delta forces? Do you see Russia charging in with their T-72s and Cobra strike copters? No...........

Fight for Israel or Lebanon (or even worse, 'terrorist' groups) = no benefit

I reckon the other places are just hoping everything prolongs, as a distraction to their own issues at home and their own unglorified actions(eg. USA intention to invade Iran, Iran making nuclear, N.Korea making nuclear, people dying in Iraq).

So why fight in the first place....

Over faith? Over social norms? Over Beliefs?


Result



More Destruction...


After so many years of evolution.... or maybe the evolution had gone completely wrong....


People should start learning to accept and integrate.
People should start learning how to utilise resources for the good of mankind, not destruction.
People should start learning how to live in harmony.
People should start learning how to see the rights and wrongs(once again... almost impossible due to difference in mentality)
People should start learning...

There is only one mother earth....

We all live in it....

We are all brethrens....

Why destroy each other?
