Blogging for Freedom

This is a post off of the Israeli-Lebanese discussion blog at the London Times. 

"It is an unfortunate state of events in Lebanon today - While everyone in the world loves to preach Pacifism and how 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind' - but what does the Arab world expect of Israel? Idly sit by and suffer the gouging of a nation's eyes by allowing the kidnapping/death of its soldiers? I agree with Graham Smith's post - Against organizations bent on destroying its existence - Israel has no choice but to fight back - this is human nature - something we will never be able to extinguish ."

But, it could just as easily read:  "It is an unfortunate state of events in Israel today - While everyone in the world loves to preach Pacifism and how 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind' - but what does Israel expect of the Arab world? Idly sit by and suffer the gouging of a nation's eyes by allowing the kidnapping/death of its civilians? I agree with Graham Smith's post - Against organizations bent on destroying its existence - the Arabs have no choice but to fight back - this is human nature - something we will never be able to extinguish."
