Since Mike asked, I take Andreas note below to be consistent with the
Leftist/Islamist position. Hizbollah attacked Israel but that doesn't
matter. Only the dead matter. If Israel defends itself it is being a
warmonger state. This leaves Hizbollah's tactics in tact. They shouldn't
have to pay for their adventure. This view would, if put into effect,
prevent Israel from defending itself. Israel is a warmongering state if it
defends itself.
Note the neutral it is "horrible" that 12 people in "Israel died in rocket
attacks" but no blame is attached to Hizbollah. It might as well have been
a meteor that struck those 12 people. Islamist Mullahs who sided with
America after 9/11 thought it horrible that those people died in the Trade
Center attack, but they stopped well short of assigning blame for the
deaths.
Andreas does do something you don't normally see in Leftist/Islamist
arguments. He says there are warmongers in control in Lebanon, Syria and
Iran, but he does it in such a way that there is moral equivalence between
what the Islamists do and what Syria, Iran and Lebanon (I assume he means
Hizbollah) does. There isn't enough here to see a developed political
theory, but anarchists blame states and not people for the evils of the
world.

Lawrence, do you mean whether we side with the Israeli people, or the
government of Israel?
Today, 12 people in Israel died in rocket attacks. That's horrible. I side
with the people
in both Israel and Lebanon and this ridiculous, meaningless war should stop
instantly.
I don't side with the warmongers in control of Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran,
and the White
House. They are idiots who only care about power and money. All the talk of
patriotism and
defense and peace is just crap that they use to make money and get others to
die.
I don't see you siding with the people of the world. You constantly take the
side of
warmongers. Where are you? Constructive peace or endless narcissistic war?
