War is over
Hopefully the war is over. And hopefully for a long time. Although I am skeptical.
Hezbollah already said they won't disarm. We still don't know the fate of the 2 kidnapped soldiers.
Still, I have hope. If the international force does what it is supposed to do, no more rockets will hit Israel and no more attacks will come from the Lebanon and it will probably mean a better life for both Lebanon and Israel.
Let us rebuild, and try to give peace a chance.
I just want to add something to this blog that a friend of mine sent me in an e-mail exchange that happened between us.
It all started during the war, when she sent me an e-mail asking me to sign a petition to force Israel and the US to stop the war (as apparently only they were against the cease fire).
So I sent her an e-mail asking her if she ever stopped to think why Israel would be against the cease fire issue by the UN.
I asked her if the thought beyond that point of stopping the war. What would be implemented so Hezbollah would not attack Israel again? What would prevent them to send rockets into Israel? What would stop them from killing/kidnapping Israeli soldiers?
In order to stop the war, the world should help Israel to eliminate the terrorist’s cell in the Middle East. They should not accept that a government (be it Hammas or the Lebanese government) who have armed cells that can do whatever they want, and cynically these governors say "well, they are our armed wing, but not tied to the government"...
It does not make sense.
It is easy to blame Israel for using force (or even excessive force) against the terrorists that kidnapped their soldiers. But we all know that asking them back will do nothing.
Israel wants Peace. Always did. But they will never cave into the terrorist’s pressure and demands. Because if Israel ever gives in, there will be no way to stop these scum that surrounds it and to prevent them from kidnapping their citizens (soldiers or civilians)
And most of all, the world should open their eyes and see why so many civilians died in Lebanon. It is only because Hezbollah sent rockets to Israel from sites where they were surrounded by civilians and children, only for, when Israel retaliated, they could use the civilians as shield, or blame Israel for killing innocents.
As my last comment, I gave her a phrase that holds true as much as it held for 30 years when Golda Meir said it:" We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace when they would love their children more than they hate us."
And it seems that she saw the light. For soon, she sent me another e-mail that was in a Brazilian magazine:

"Are any fair War?
Yes, but not this one. Which war was just? Maybe when the Arab armies joined forces to eliminate Israel in the middle of "Yom Kippur" (the most sacred Jewish religious day, when he prays to God for forgiveness while fasting all day)? Or when they attacked the Jewish state days after the survivors of the Holocaust received the legitimate state with the avail of the UN?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Because the front-page pictures were not of the first Israeli dead or injured from this conflict. After all, it was Hezbollah who started the attacks, as the same magazine admits it.
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Because the great majority of the pictures are from Lebanese Civilians wounded, and only two are about the Israelis: One of a soldier in a tank and another of the orthodox Jews praying. And how about their wounded/dead?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Because it says this is a dirty war. But are terrorists blowing up malls or pizza restaurants "clean"?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why start the text "the suffering and destruction caused by the Israeli offensive"... So aren't Israelis suffering with their dead and injured ones? Haifa's economy has stopped, their kids are in bunkers and not in schools and they have thousands traumatized by the war...
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why they put the "Jews" as the "others"? Because there's comparatively fewer Jews in the world? Well, this issue is about Israel (the Jewish state) and the Hezbollah.
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why question the civilian deaths if they are being used as shield by the terrorists, as this own magazine admits and the international law condemns. How many Israeli civilians already died in terror acts along the past years by the Hezbollah?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why not state in bold letters that Israel asked, alert, and foretold the Lebanese people to leave the area they will attack at least 24 hours before the attack?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why only Israel laments and begs forgiveness for the deaths of Arab children, when the same children are taught in schools to hate Israel and to die (become martyrs) if necessary, just so the Jewish state is swept out of the map?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, but not this one. Why not point out that Hezbollah impose to Lebanon a disrespect to the resolution 1.559 from the security council of the UN in which impose the placement of the Lebanese army in the south of their country and along the border?
Are there any fair magazine?
Yes, this very magazine, in which we subscribe for so long, when they admit that the diversity of interests in the middle east, added to the false and ever more appealing emotive arguments, made up a false reality in which it places Israel always as the villain, when in reality, the dead innocents are victims of their own extremists peers which the objective is never to be "in favor" of anyone, but always "against" the existence of the Israeli state. For the simple fact that they exist."

Thank you Marcelo, for expressing yourself so well, that I see al my points into your arguments, and I agree with it in all aspects.
Now, I hope anyone who reads it forgive me for the long (but worthy) text.
I just hope I have never to touch on any war subject again...
