What a Waste!
The Los Angeles Times recently published an article relating to terrorism. I noted the words: “We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs.” The following is the complete article which I read.
LOS ANGELES – “A group of 85 Hollywood notables – among them Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis, Dennis Hopper and Sylvester Stallone – have placed their names on full-page ads accusing Hamas and Hezbollah of being terrorist organizations.
“We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” said the statement, which ran recently in the Los Angeles Times, Hollywood Reporter and Variety. “If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die. We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs.”
The effort was put together by movie producer Danny Dimbort and Avi Lerner, in conjunction with a variety of others, including Israel’s consul general in Los Angeles, Ehud Danoch.
“As 1 million Israelis sat in bomb shelters and 3 million were in the line of fire of Hezbollah and Hamas missiles, it strengthened the citizens of Israel to read that high-level members of the Hollywood film industry came out so clearly against terrorist organizations, which threaten them and free societies all over the world,” Danoch said.
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
We know that many people around the world want to stop terrorism. Now we see Israeli supporters in Hollywood coming forth to express the need to stop terrorism.
Israel is a “democratic society.” These Hollywood supporters agree that there is a “need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs.” That sounds like supporting the Israelis after war against Hezbollah, to justify the atrocities committed against the people of Lebanon by the Israeli military.
There are people in the world who view the actions of Israel as terrorism at its worst. If Israel could have waged a war that would have lasted one week and which would have brought about the results desired, perhaps the peoples of the world would close their eyes and forget what did take place. But no, the war continued for over one month with a greater loss of lives of innocent Lebanese civilians and greater destruction of property and the economy of Lebanon than occurred in Israel. In any case, what a waste!
To respond to terrorist activities with a form of terrorism can not be condoned; there is no justification there! Israel went too far! The Hollywood notables have gone too far. They would do better spending their money on eradicating the many social problems within their American “democratic” society.

The notables have spoken! Now, the terrorists will for sure stop their actions. (ironical)
I do not know anybody else than you Lou, who can put thoughts so well into words.
