I don't agree with your position that our supplying aid "implies agreement that Israel is targetting civilians", and that we are not giving aid to Israel.

Israel still has accessible roads, a functioning airport and open ports where they get supplies (including military supplies from us). Lebanon does not have supply routes (and that's a good thing) but they still need aid for their people.

We're trying to support a democratic Lebanon. We are providing the carrot while Israel is providing the stick.

"We are providing the carrot while Israel is providing the stick."

Animals are adept at running off with the carrot and avoiding the stick.

I guess that's why I'm not a diplomat.

I'm wondering why we have rendered Israel stickless for so long, though ...

Now it is reported that not only does the enemy stash missiles in civilian homes, they pay the rent just for that purpose.

Right: How about funneling the U.S. aid in through Israel?
Heeheehee...

Back to work, maybe I can be back later...
