See this, Who Is Samir Kuntar?

Perspectives, you know?

Is that a response to the poem, or…? Because perhaps I misread it, but it didn’t strike me as a defense of Samir Kuntar.

Jenny, to what infractions are you referring?

Mer, are Israeli civilians fair targets? How many times do you suppose Hizbollah or Hamas have dropped leaflets warning non combatants to leave the area?

It’s terrific, very poignant. Thanks.

Sigmund, I read the post that you linked to, but I fail to see how Samir Kuntar factors in–were all of the 200 civilians who were killed in Lebanon followers or supporters of Samir Kuntar? Palestine has been disproportionately responding to Israel’s infractions for years, and it’s exactly the kind of disproportionate response in Lebanon that will make peace in this part of the world impossible.

I still dont think Israel has the right to kill civilians. Lebannon did not invade them, they invaded (bombed) it.

But then again I read a lot of lebannonese blogs as a famous Irish blog is of an Irish person living (well till yesterday) in lebannon.
Maybe its just because i know the storys, and hear of peoples neighbours getting killed. Little children and old people.

Poetry has never been my strong suit, but I have no idea what this means. Beirut is being attacked by terrorists?
