at the risk of being accused of all kind of things - the most harmless ones being taking sides pro isreal or against the lebanese population - i do feel i have to say this

From: Louise Desrenards
ATTENTION: considering the precedence of the shots of Hezbollah to Haifa,
[...]
Lebanese civilians have been under the constant attack of the state of
Israel for several days. The State of Israel, in disregard to international
law and the Geneva Convention, is launching a maritime and air siege
targeting the entire population of the country. Innocent civilians are being collectively punished in Lebanon by the state of Israel in deliberate acts
of terrorism as described in Article 33 of the Geneva Convention.

the predictability and easy with which west european intellectualism is capable to separate good from evil, and the absolute infallibility with which it is identifies victim and perpetrator never ceases to amaze me.

true, hezbollah will never stop firing rockets at isreali villages and schools using the civilian population of neighboring sovereign countries as hostage and human shield because of some online petition. but if you're so much against war as such, a petition that identifies both hezbollah's and isreal's actions as the cause of the war would at least pretend to cover up any alternative political agenda's that those who drafted the petition might have had.
