Europe's papers divided on Lebanon

Link to Jerusalem Post.

I'm glad that PM Ehud Olmert didn't wait until these European journalist jokers weighed in their ridiculous articles before he took military action. None of these guys would just leave it as sufficient that Israel has the right to defend itself and should be able to do it in a way that would resolve the conflict most quickly and lastingly. Actually, some wouldn't even grant it that. It is only because it is Israel that is being targeted and because they see the perpetrators, Hizbollah and Hamas, as weaker entities that they can't even credit Israel as doing the right thing by its actions to defend its own citizens. Don't even bother asking these jokers to condemn the terrorist perpetrators.

"Those who witnessed [the fighting] will not forget it, and they will carry a bitterness towards Israel for the rest of their lives, passing it on to their children" the Guardian said, as "both sides have ensured this dreadful conflict spreads, not just across borders - but down the generations."
Striking at Hizbullah would "aggravate hatred of Israel across the world"

Statements such as the above show either ignorance or blatant lie. Those who harbor ideological hatred towards Israel will pass on the hatred to the next generation whether or not Israel does anything to provoke them. This has not only been prophesied but also proven time and time again throughout history ever since the Jews became a people group. Why should we or the joker journalists expect anything different? Ignorance or blatant lie.

This one is even hilarious.
The crisis had temporarily strengthened Israel's international standing, The Daily Telegraphwrote on Tuesday, saying the G-8 declaration on the Middle East "must rank as one of the most pro-Israel international statements in at least a decade."
Yes, this despite at least half of the G-8 leaders condemning Israel is still the best Israel ever got from these guys ever since the end of the WWII.

And this one.
"Arafat's death, Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, Sharon's retirement, the developments in Iran, Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon, growing rivalries between the Shi'ites and Sunnis, and the chaos in Iraq" were all part of a larger crisis, La Repubblica wrote. "The fire is spreading, but who can make a stand against it?"
Certainly not the weenies from Berkeley or the elites of Massachussetts or the cowards of France or the journalists of MSM. Lest the La Repubblica editor forgets, the Second Coming is yet to come to change the world order upside down and spread the fire even further.
