[net.religion.jewish] Protesting actions in Lebabnon

When Israel was militarily active in Lebanon, there was an outpouring
of protests in all of our national magazines and newspapers.
A typical approach would be a large advt proclaiming that "I cannot keep silent
while...".  Many Jews proclaimed their opposition to Israel's actions and
expressed great concern over the fate of the Lebanese.

I have searched for these same protests now that non-Jewish Semites are
killing each other in Lebabon.  The typical approach now seems to be
"I CAN keep silent...".  I wonder why?

Personally, I cannot really attack any nation for waging war against another
nation with which it is at war.  No flames from me about the Iraq reactor
strike, etc.

I suspect that the Israelis are hit so hard for anything that even approaches
a foul because they often manifest a very annoying self-righteous attitude
that makes it a joy to catch them in a lapse.  Just as a anti-porn Evangelist
caught in a S&M parlor would probably hit the headlines.
