    You need to ask the question?

    We should have been talking to Hezbollah long before supporting Israel's unilateral invasion of Lebanon in 2006. Israel framed the conflict starting with the attempted capture of two of their soldiers, ignoring years of Israeli incursion into Lebanon to assassinate, bomb and capture civilians, including women and children and their 10K plus Arab political prisoners (also composed of many womenand children) who they refuse to release.
    Unfortunately, as long as Zionists, Neocons, and Israeli lobbyists dictate our foreign policy in the region, we stand to be left behind while new powers emerge and we are unable to speak to them.
    .
    WE MUST DISASSOCIATE FROM ISRAEL! They are our friends, and no more. They are not the 51st State!
