Nasrallah: Wouldn't have snatched soldiers if thought would spark war

Hezbollah would not have abducted two Israel Defense Forces soldiers on July 12 had it known that the action would lead to war in Lebanon, the leader of the militant group, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, said in an interview televised Sunday.

Reservist soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were kidnapped on July 12 in a cross-border raid by Hezbollah guerillas, sparking a 34-day conflict.

Hezbollah is demanding the release of some of the thousands of Arabs in Israeli prisons in exchange for the kidnapped soldiers. We did not think, even one percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11... that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not," he said in an interview with Lebanon's New TV station.

I wonder what he thought  capturing the Israeli soldiers would have led to.  Notice again here, he does not explain his reasons for the capture of the Israeli soldiers to Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.

In any case, no Hezbollah prisoners have been released by Israel.  Hezbollah is pushed back and out of their stronghold.  International peace keeping force will now take over security of the buffer zone and border between Israel and Lebanon just as Israel wants.  This means Hezbollah can no longer use the place as a launching pad of their infamous katusha rockets as they used to in the past.  

Presently, Israeli forces remain in southern Lebanon and will hod their position till the international monitoring forces arrive.

When the dust from all this settles, we'll see what was supposedly accomplished by Hezbollah.

I remain amazed that Ete
goes on about TWO recently captured Israeli soldiers and ignores over 1000 captured Lebanese who are in jail for years at this moment.......
goes on about a handful of dead Israelis and ignore over 1000 dead Lebanese (mostly civilians, many women and children).......
goes on about the security of Israel and ignores the murder of Palestianians in Gaza by Israeli soldiers which has been going on for over twenty years and goes on in a daily basis.........
and behaves as if Lebanon had invaded Israel instead of Israel invading Lebanon............

Like the Israelis and the Americans he obviously believes Arab blood is less valuable than Israeli blood.

I'm tired of this meaningless debate.
There will be no peace in the Middle East until Israel obeys the over 200 United nations Resolutions which tells it to give back the land it has stolen from the Arabs.
Perhaps Ete doesn't believe in the United Nations either.

[Ete]

Dave, you'll remained amazed forever.  The UN is a useless organization as far as I am concerned.  UN resolution 1559 calls for the disarmament and disbandment of Hezbollah altogether, but that didn't happen.  Arabs kill black Africans in Sudan, and what has the UN done about that?  Do not preach to me about the UN.

Look Dave,  you keep repeating your fraudulent lies about Israel occupying someone's territories. You dodge responding to my questions which you know exposes your false argument. Until you have enough courage to answer the questions I posed to you, don't even bother trying to engage me in dialogue.

The real illegal occupiers of the place are the palestinian Arabs. They inflitrating the place when Jerusalem was conqured and the Jews sacked from their ancestral land.  Except you can explain how palestinians came to own that Land, you are damn fraud Dave. Explain it to me.....I am not interested in your extensive garbage and constant amazement. Just explain how the land belongs to the palestinians. How difficult is that? You don't even know, yet you jump on the bandwagon of ignorance and join other ignorant people in calingl for the withdrawal of Israel from Israel.  How does one withdraw from his own home?

Why don't you withdraw from Scotland? Hey Dave, you are illegally occupying Scotland. Withdraw now!!!!!!

Mr. Ete.

I have a question over this post again, but, I prepare to leave it because; I don?t want to be misunderstood as I was then. Ok, these are what I have  to here say:

As I gathered his (Nasrullah) meaning by saying so, was his concern over citizens, innocent ones that were exterminated by Israel. But apart from this, I don't think he would have said this.

Reasons; as it was discovered, even in Israel soil, majority people there are of the opinion that Hizbollah won the war. Yes, they did win because; 99% of the people killed by Israel were civilian while 99% of those killed by Hizbollah armed men were soldiers-Israel soldiers. So, as from this juncture one can easily figure who actually won the war. Every one in a war situation wants only killed soldier who is attacking him not civilian who is at home/refugee camp sleeping.

[Ete]

Muhsin, well, question is, where did you get your figures from?  Yes, several Israeli soldiers lost their lives in that conflict, and that information was well documented and made public.  When you say only soldiers died on the Israeli side,  I can only wonder where you get your news from.  Are you not aware that several Israeli civilians were killed when those unguided Katusha rockets landed in Northern Israeli communities?  Your information is totally off Muhsin.

Now concerning the casualties in Lebanon, Hezbollah falsifies all reports. The Hezbollah fighters are not a conventional army. They blend with the civilian population, and bring out their weapons to engage when opportunity presents itself. They live and hide amongst civilians, and use those civilians as human sheild with the hope of discouraging the opposing forces from shelling them.  This kind of crooked tactic is a violation of the Geneva convention.  So when you say Israel killed 99% civilians, that is not entirely correct.  The 'civilians' are also Hezbollah fighters in civilians clothes so as not to be targeted and eliminated as they should.

One thing that I do not understand with all these terrorist group is that they always claim to be doing the will of Allah.  They bring Allah's name into the issue giving the impression that they are fighting for Allah and that Allah approves of their fight.  Here is where I am puzzled,  I don't think Allah needs anybody to fight for him. Does he?

Secondly, if Allah wants to wipe out an entire army, is he not capable of doing so?  

Most importantly however, why do the 'soldiers of Allah'  hide in civilian population and blow up civlian buses, and kill unarmed passengers going about their business?

Should the soldiers of Allah not be able to come out and face their enemy head on?  What is the point of having Allah on ones side, but still fight a cowardly war rathert than face the enemy with confidence and defeat that enemy?  That was what King David used to do.  He went to war head on against his enemies even if they were giants and had more weaponry than him.

Concerning Nasrella,  he obviously is dazed now, and not talking all loud like before.  Well, if he wants to go another round (which he does not want) Israel is more than ready to do just that.  You think Hezbollah won? Take a good look at Israel and tell me how much damage 3,000 katusha rockets did? Very insignificant is that answer to that.  Meanwhile,  Israel used very little fire power...less than 3% of their capabilities they say.

I'm tired of this meaningless debate.

Now there's one statement I can completely agree with. :!:
