Cost of Life VI
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The conflict in the Middle East has been on for more than 26 days, and the tolls are disproportionately higher on the Lebanese side, surprised, don’t be, that is how wars are, nothing fair about it. According to casualty counts by popular media, Lebanon has 10 times more death from this illegal, unjust and inhumane occupation by Israel, with death tally exceeding more than a thousand, and I am talking only about civilians. So with simple arithmetic and my pragmatic view of this world, I compute the life of a Lebanese to be 10 times cheaper than that of an Israeli. What about Hezbollah you may ask? According to our respected media, they don’t count.

Occupation? The only occupants who actually force themselves on the poor Lebanese, are Hezbollah.
You know what they say; in love and war you can lose your glory. Hopefully, Hezbollah will lose it’s horrible glory and people will understand just how awful this terror organization is.
It’s really easy for outsiders to side with the obvious underdog, but if you’re a smart, aware person, you will know each conflict has two sides, and both sides REALLY DO suffer.
As for the cost of life; human life is equal everywhere, no matter what. An Israeli soldier’s moter aches the death of ger son just like a Hezbollah activist’s father.
Let me ask you though; if the terror attack on the British airplanes did happen yesterday, would complain about your respected media not counting the dead terrorist in the death toll?
