"Have Nasrallah's actions for the last month have BENEFITED the Sunni middle class of Beirut? or have they HARMED them?" This is your mental error Nadine. The log in your own eye that prevents you from seeing Israel as doing ANY wrong obstructs you. Nasrallah's actions have had no effect of Beruit whatsoever - Israel's over reaction has. NO rockets have been fired from Beruit, which is too far north, even for the long(er) range (65 mi) Hezbollah rockets. Yet Israel has punished Beruit regardless, blowing up their power station, radio and TV stations, causing an enviromental disaster on Beruit's beaches which are now polluted with heavy fuel oil, destroying apartment blocks, hospitals and the airport and killing civilians.

Nadine. If you're going to be anti-arab then you should admit that you are a bigot. I don't think the middle class burbs in Beirut are being pounded. According to (it's a week or so old so I don't know if it still holds true) corporate media, the richer areas of the city were unmolested while the poor section was being pounded. Typical. It's also Israeli bombs that are devastating Lebanon. Are you saying that Nasrallah has control over the Israeli military? I think that war harms 99.99% of the people while it benefits the warmongering thugs. Have the actions of the Olmert BENEFITED the 500,000 Israelis cowering in shelters or have they HARMED them? It is possible FOR BOTH SIDES to be WRONG.
