Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. A Einstein.
The issue of Israel, Lebanon, Middle East, Palestine has been seen from many angles,
for those willing to do the research.
A better understanding about how the current conflict in Lebanon arose
is available for anyone to find out, if they so wish.
Thus a much more balanced approach can be arrived at than the one put forward in your blog.

There is a gulf of difference between dipping ones finger in a glass of wine
and drinking the wine itself.

There is a saying "Give with one hand, take with two.
Anyone with a balanced understanding of "western" history
of the last 3 centuries, and even from the 11th century
will undersatnd this.
One must also dinstinguish between the West (the people, generally kind just like people everywhere),
Western Governemnt foreign policy actions,
Western Big business action in foreign countries .....
instead of just lumping them together.
Also this view of yours re kindness is said by various
right wing neo-cons, uninformed writers, idiotic politicans from time to time.
(ps. Making generalisations & assumptions, especially incorrect ones
... about anyone in a forum
(as you have just done with me)
is an incorrect approach ... for obvious reasons).
