So I ask you not to hinder the removing of the real problem for help being given to that region: the existence of an armed Hezbollah. As long she is there, the aid you want to send there, to more or less part will support and feed a terrorist organization, and therefore you help to attack and destroy Israel by that (like all the financial help by the EU for the Palestinians serves the same purpose, if one only thinks it consequently to the logical end). your effort is well-meant, you see babies cry and mothers with sad eyes and say: "Gee,. let get stuff being send to them." that agood ammount of that would be channeled into the logistic network of Hezbollah, you willingly ignore. Your good heart is counter-productive here and thus does more bad than good in the medium and long run. accepting to give help to Hezbollah is active help to keep the current crisis boiling and continuing in the future. And Israelis will die for your help.
So let's keep things in the right order:
a.) first step is to create the preconditions for aid and help, by disamring and neutralizing the influence of Hezbollah in Lebanese politics, and killing all Hezbollah presence in the soutern border region, then
b.) second step is to send all food, medicine, water, and tents and such things to Lebanon. We could even start to stockpile them closeby right now, so that the final shipping time is shorter.
but if you send in help right now then it is the same as if you pay money onto Hezbollah's internation banking account. Unacceptable.

I'm donating this week, pay week for me, to one of those organizations listed in the Guardian article (probably UNICEF) and plan to get a friend of mine and his fiance, who feel as I do about this, to donate as well so that the donation is a little heftier than what I have to spare. If you want to wait it out, by all means, that is your choice. Ultimately we must all, individually, do what we feel is the right thing to do, and I believe this is the right thing to do.
