When I see pictures of carnage in Lebanon, I feel very, very angry....
at Hezbollah. I hold them responsible for this.

I wish the Israelis were doing more to avoid loss of civilian life, I wish mistakes were never made, but my anger is toward Hezbollah...not innocent civilians who voted for Hezbollah members of parliment, but the Hezbollah militia, as well as the Hamas militia. They are the ones responsible, and that is were my anger is directed. It's not a choice, as in saying I will be angry at Hezbollah, not Israel. I feel more anger towards Hezbollah because they have vowed to continue their fight for the extermination of Israel to eternity if necessary, and Israel will never surrender...nor should they.

The first thing I feel when I see the carnage is sadness, which I'm sure we all feel. After sadness comes anger...towards Hezbollah. That does not mean I don't think Israel has made mistakes, but I'm sorry, they are not the ones responsible for the last 60 years of this seemingly eternal conflict.

All Israel asks is peaceful coexistence. That is all. It's not too much to ask.

1. I think your anger is misdirected...
Why not direct it towards the people who sent in the bombs?

Israel didn't make "mistakes". They made choices.

It's only a matter of time before the world stands up and refuses to allow it to continue. And Israel will one day realize they made a calculated error.

2. My anger is directed toward the people I feel are ultimately responsible
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 12:19 AM by Clarkie1
for this never-ending tragedy.

They are the people who do not want peace, and have said so. They want the other side destroyed. Yes, I feel anger towards people (specifically, the militias) who want an entire country destroyed, and cause seemingly endless war because of it. If they stopped their killing, all the killing would stop.

4. This is the reaction of pro-Israelis when the facts aren't going their way
They can't win any discussion based on the facts - the atrocities they committed are on the record. So they revert back to the underlying intentions of Hezbollah.

Let's not talk about what Hezbollah threatens to do, and instead on what's actually happening today.

And right now, Israel is the guilty party. They invaded Lebanon not because of those 2 soldiers, but with ulterior motives. And the result is the horrors we see on our screens every day.

They are killing far less people than Israel is. How can anyone dispute this?

5. You cannot determine who is responsible for the killing
based on the numbers of those killed on either side. The people who are ultimately responsible for the conflict are the people who WANT THE CONFLICT AND HAVE VOWED TO CONTINUE THE CONFLICT FOREVER.

9. Israel is killing children. Indiscriminately. There is no justification
for that.

Israel escalated this incident well beyond what the world thinks is reasonable. If you can't admit this basic fact, then this discussion is wasting both of our time.

49.  You're completeley wrong
You forgot facts which anti-Israelis tend to do. Hez murdered several Israeli soldiers, remember that? Hez is firing rockets into Israel and doesn't give a damn where they go or what they hit, including innocent adults and children. Hez wants to destroy Israel. Hez entered Israel's land to kill Israeli soldiers without provocation. Hez is responsible for Lebanese dying today and yesterday because they started the war. Hez had and has no right to attack Israel.
Anti-Israelis can't win any discussion based on the facts.

58. Well
Those rockets they are firing are hardly hitting any targets. They point them south and hope they hit something. Not exactly a strong military threat.

Why not do a body count and then we'll see who's killed more children?

Lastly, why is it that when the facts don't line up in Israel's favor (ie. they are causing more deaths and damage at the moment) their supporters revert back to the underlying intentions of the other side? It's because you can't win this agrument on it's face, so you have to drag other factors into it.

I'm afraid the facts are on my side here.

141. Whenever I think of the genocide agaisnt the Native Americans
I get so angry at the Native Americans that kept insisting on making raids and attacks against innocent European settlers. All the settlers wanted was peaceful coexistence, and they ended up being forced to exterminate all those people.

8. When I see posts like yours.....
I feel very, very angry when people who have never lived there think they understand the situation...

My family was from Lebanon. Many of them were run from Palestine when they refused to sell the land that had been in our family for 5 generations to the "settlers". So they threw them out of the house and urinated on and then burned their papers and family photos. Yes, I feel very, very angry.

Get some knowledge before you try to tell me what goes on over there.

That if these militias stopped attacking Israel there would be peace, as well as a sovereign Palestinian state and a democratic, peaceful Lebanon?

36. I doubt there is a chance for peace anymore
There is no chance for ANY peace until some concessions are made but the Israelis will find other ways to punish the Arabs who live within their borders. They are determined to make life a living Hell for anyone who doesn't kiss their ass. Watch what happens to any other country who speaks out against them! The name calling and guilt trip commences. The Holocaust was an unimaginably evil thing but I find it terrible that it keeps getting thrown in the face of people who had nothing to do with it.

If we had supported the Cedar revolution instead of sending more and more billions to furnish Israel (soon to be one of the TOP TEN wealthiest countries)we might have had a chance. Most Lebanese were opposed to Hezbollah until Israel provided these terrorists with the greatest recruiting tool imaginable.

11. Well, I mean, are you not angry at the indefinite siege of Palestine?
THat's why Hezbollah intervened in the first place, on behalf of Palestinians being crushed. The IDF regularly bombs or kidnaps Palestinian citizens. Or are only Israelis sacred? Shouldn't Arabs and Jews both have rights, not just one or the other?

Israel doesn't just ask peaceful coexistence, I'm afraid. It demands hegemony, a "Greater Israel."

14. Hamas KEPT TO the ceasefire until the IDF bombed a Gazan beach
You can't rewrite the facts here. Hamas maintained a constant ceasefire with Israel until the IDF bombed a Gazan beach. Scores of Palestinians were killed by the IDF before Hamas even raised a finger, and then it only attacked military, not civilians.

I mean, this rewriting of history and demonization of the Arabs is supremely unjust.

If I were advising Hamas, I advise them to public proclaim their support for the existence of Israel.

That is, if they decide they want peace instead of war.

21. Now you're saying heated rhetoric is more important than actions
Then I guess Bush must be a total peace-lover because that's what he always says.

First you said Hamas opposed peace when it signed onto a ceasefire (something you didn't know). Then Israel is the peace-loving one for repeatedly attacking the Palestinians while Hamas was in a ceasefire with Israel.


Your argument is wrong face it!

Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 12:49 AM by Clarkie1
Hamas has said that ceasefires may be necessary in the short-term to promote the long range goal of the annihilation of Israel.

They take the long view of history. Do not be fooled that a strategic (in their view) cease fire by Hamas means they are ending the war. Yes, statements are important. It is not rhetoric. They need to accept Israel's right to exist, otherwise EVERY CEASEFIRE WILL ULTIMATELY BE BROKEN, AND THEY ARE TO BLAME.

34. Now you're saying no matter what they do they're evil
And if they make overtures for peace we should be assured it's just part of their final plan to annihilate Israel.

It's the classic "us vs them" demonization that destroys any chance for peace. You can bet hardliners in Hamas are doing the same thing to Israel.

It's inane and anti-peace and I've had enough of listening to it. The facts are Israel continues its attacks, war crimes, and illegal occupation, but does it with a better Public Relations machine than the Palestinians. It doesn't just say it wants to destroy Palestine. It does it.

45. I believe this...
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 01:01 AM by Clarkie1
Peace will only come when the hearts and minds of the militias change, or the militias are put under so much pressure for peace by their own people, that they are forced to give up endless war.

Ultimately, nothing Israel does can bring a lasting peace. However, actions taken by those who wish it's destruction can bring a lasting peace.

This does not mean that Israel should not seek peace. Right now, their stategy is to seriously disable to Hezbollah militia in Southern Lebanon, so that the Lebanese army and an international peacekeeping force can finish disarming them, and make sure they never use southern Lebanon as a military base for attacks on Israel ever again.

You might question Israel's strategy, but be clear:

Israel wants peace, the militias want war.

You're just telling me innocent Israel is being besieged by Evil Arabs and is defending itself. You're not using many facts, and you're creating a place that doesn't exist in reality, an alternate reality where Arabs are not living under Israeli boots.

After all Mandela himself called what Israel is doing Apartheid (they supported it when South Africa was doing it too)

They are responsible for their actions. They have a responsibility to engage only in actions that they believe are most likely to assist in bringing peace to Israel and peace to the region.

It is perfectly legitimate to debate whether their actions are necessary, effective, or appropriate to achieving that goal. This debate goes on in the democratic state of Israel all the time.

And it's primarily their debate, not ours. They are the ones surrounded by people who wish their annihilation and are firing rockets into their towns, blowing up buses, kidnapping soldiers, etc, etc.

66. So, if destroying Lebanon is going to bring Israel peace, then they
are entitled to do that? Israel is entitled to peace at all costs?

What if they are wrong? What if they proceed with destroying Lebanon, which they have, and it turns out they don't get peace?

Hezbollah was born after the last time Israel found Lebanon. Has history taught them nothing?

No good will come of this. If Israel thinks peace is going to come out of destoying Lebanon for the second time, then then need to rethink their plan.

Those who do not recognize that organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas are ultimately responsible for the conflict, however, are missing the point.

44. First you said they didn't want peace. When someone pointed out
that they did sign onto a ceasefire agreement, then you said they didn't ultimately want peace.

So it's not enough to allow their actions to speak for them. You have to read their minds as well.

It's this attitude that is never going to get Israel out of the mess they are in.

24. The Jewish people, Clarkie1. Hands-down, I can't think of any other...
..group of people who have been so mercilessly-terrorized, butchered, raped, and worse than the Jewish people. I don't even think there are close runners-up.

But what does that have to do with their actions now? Are Jewish people somehow different than other people? They can be butchered and murdered and discriminated against just like the rest of us. Can they not make terrible mistakes and even commit the same crimes against others?

There is no ward against perpetrating war crimes just because one is Jewish. They are exactly the same as every other person that walks the earth, capable of great Goodness or Evil through choice.

I often imagine, however, how it must feel to be Jewish, know that history, and be surrounded on all sides in a small country by those who wish to annihilate you and are forever commiting acts of terror.

Why don't they just live and let live?

Edward Said once said that Israel-Palestine conflict was victims fighting victims. He was right. It's not like the oppression of the Jews makes what they do to the Arabs right or vice versa.

47. You are very, very frustrated over this issue. There is a burning...
...sensation in your head as you try to reconcile the hideous actions of the Israeli government with the tenets you hold dearly as a Democrat. And yet, at some point, you decided to stop further internal questioning- to truncate all further thoughts that Israel's conservative government may in fact be committing heinous crimes because somewhere along the way you were programmed or programmed yourself to believe that the Israeli government was nearly blameless and almost unconditionally-correct in all things, regardless of whether or not it was headed by a conservative or Liberal government.

  You lost your sense of objectivity in the matter. Moreso, you really deserve the burden of this action: You did not lose your objectivity- you switched it off.

  With your blind support for Israel's conservative government you're hurting Israel and, yes, Jews everywhere in the long run. All because you believed you were doing the right thing in supporting them no matter what. But Israel is like any other nation- it deserves praise and criticism at appropriate times. And to deny Israel's conservative government criticism you do it a great disservice.

Look at what Hezbollah has done in Southern Lebanon. Why do you think their were constructing all that military infrastructure and stockpiling weapons on the border of Israel?

Besides, Hezbollah's militia leaders have said repeatedly that their purpose is the annihilation of Israel. If someone with rockets tells you they want to annihilate you, how would you respond? Especially if you know where they are stockpiling the rockets and fortifying themselves.

That's what is in the "bottle rockets."

Hundreds of pieces of shrapnel...shards of metal, screws, ets. Those certainly aren't designed just to damage buildings.

Personally, I'm glad Hezbollah's rockets aren't more precise.

Innocent people are dieing on both sides, because nobody can seem to come up with foreign policy that really works. And I think that even when somebody does, it will be a long time before someone has the guts to try it. People who challenge conventional foreign policy get tossed out of office.

There is no effective leadership on this, so it ends up with Israel doing what Israel feels it has to do.

The situation never should have gotten to this point. Hezbollah never should have been allowed to take over Southern Lebanon. There needed to be a stategy to help Lebanon be sovereign over its own territory.

Do you think the Lebanese government could have taken control without Israel taking military action? Do you think an international force could have marched into southern Lebanon and disarmed Hezbollah itself?

94. Well, I don't think an international force is supposed to do that
Genuinely when an international force goes in, it's on the grounds of peacekeeping. I don't call going in and disarming a terrorist organization peacekeeping. But again, I'm mostly thinking long term here. Israel can bomb as many Hezbollah sites as it wants, but with money and support from Iran and Syria, Hezbollah will rebuild and this whole cycle will just start all over again in a year or two, possibly even sooner. This is, of course, unless we could find some way to keep Hezbollah under control, or we could find some way to make Hezbollah to honor a peace agreement of some sort. But negotiating with terrorists generally doesn't work very well.

107. Which is why Israel calculated they needed to seriously disable Hezbollah
If there was ever to be any chance of lasting peace on their northern border.

I think they decided in the interest of longer-term peace it needed to be done before the soldiers were kidnapped, frankly.

It's an understandable conclusion to draw. Especially now that it has been revealed how well dug in and fortified Hezbollah is in southern Lebanon.

It's a shame the international community under U.S. leadership didn't do more to assist the Lebanese government in disarming Hezbollah, and it's also a shame we haven't even been talking to Syria and Iran the past few years.

120. But are Israel's attempts to violently disarm Hezbollah futile?
Won't their military actions just serve to recruit more people into Hezbollah's ranks? And if the attempts are futile, then don't they just get a bunch of innocent people killed in the process. I'm not saying that I think that's true, but I'm saying that there are very good arguments on both sides. Hence I'm neutral on this conflict.

133. I hope not.
"Won't their military actions just serve to recruit more people into Hezbollah's ranks?"

Too a degree. I hope not to too great a degree. I hope some saner realize this would not happen without the Hezbollah miltia being there, and help get rid of the militia to prevent it from happening again. Perhaps state-run media after all this is over could try and get that message to the people...a kind of positive propaganda.


"I'm not saying that I think that's true, but I'm saying that there are very good arguments on both sides. Hence I'm neutral on this conflict."

I think there are good arguments on both sides of the question, too. Ultimately, it's up to Israel to decide how Israel defends itself. They are the ones being threatened with annihilation from these groups. They have a right to live in peace, not terror.

What bothers me most is when people refuse to acknowledge that organizations of hate such as Hezbollah are the root cause of bloodshed in the Middle East. I often think, what would happen if the Palestinians adopted Ghandi-like tactics (not that I equate Israel with the colonial British)? They would accomplish so much, I think. More I think than they can imagine.

It's a shame there isn't a Palestinian Ghandi. Maybe there is somewhere, someday.

It's one thing if Lebanon asked them to. But they didn't.

And to say the country is better for it, or it's for their own good, is just not true. The US said those things about Afghanistan and look how that turned out. Then they did Iraq a similar unwanted favor and look how that turned out.

I wonder if it's wise to expect international forces to support an illegal action that Israel should never have undertaken in the first place.

84. I think Israel would like a UN force in there.
But that didn't work out so well the last time. Any UN force is going to be viewed by the Lebanese as a puppet of the US and Israel. And they'll be hated just the same.

I can certainly see why Israel would like an army other than their own on the front line.

How about this: instead of pushing other countries far enough into their own countries so that Israel can create a border of security from other people's land... why not push the Israeli's far enough inside their own borders so that the surrounding countries don't pose a threat? The result is the same. But this way, Israel doesn't have to invade any countries or occupy anyone else's land to achieve their objectives.

72. Nah..Hezbollah is a humanitarian organization. Not a terrorist group!
Israel is overacting! It's all about proportionality! Nasrallah is a kindhearted soul. Remember, all he wants is the complete detruction of Israel and ALL Jews DEAD. You know, what's a few terrorist attacks among enemies? Leave Hezbollah alone! STOP picking on them!:eyes:


Nasrallah purveys his message via Hezbollah’s own television network, Al-Manar, a primary engine of incitement to violence against Jews, Israelis and Americans. Al Manar’s stated mission is to "wage psychological warfare against the Zionist enemy." This is often done by glorifying attacks, particularly suicide missions against Israel. Last year, Nasrallah appeared on Al-Manar encouraging "martyrdom" among children, saying:

How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? When Al-Hussein asked his nephew Al-Qassem, when he had not yet reached puberty: "How do you like the taste of death, son?" He answered that it was sweeter than honey. How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology, and faith, through belief, and devotion.

We do not want to...leave our homeland to Israel... Therefore, we are not interested in our own personal security. On the contrary, each of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah. (MEMRI: Al-Manar TV , Feb. 18-19, 2005)

In May, Nasrallah appeared on Al-Manar TV to explain that "our nation's willingness to sacrifice their blood, souls, children, fathers, and families" is an advantage over the Jews "who guard their lives." (MEMRI: Al-Manar TV on May 23, 2006.)

79. Thanks for posting that.
There is no way the cycle of violence is going to stop until the militias are disarmed. They simply cannot be allowed to exist.

And saying that doesn't mean everything that Israel does is right, and they don't make mistakes. Israel needs to be held responsible for it's actions, too. Ultimately however there can be no peace with organizations which only want war.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the people here would have suggested negotiating peace with Hitler.

networks existed during WWII. I often wonder what these people would have said and done during that war. Negotiating with Hitler sounds about right though. :banghead::crazy:

81. What a big straw-man you've knocked down!
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 01:30 AM by Poll_Blind
I know it's got to help you sleep at night to reduce this argument to those who wish to destroy Israel vs those who wish to save it. However, I, and I don't believe anyone else (from what I've seen) is arguing that we should love Hezbollah who, as many posters in this very thread (including myself) have pointed out are committing war crimes, themselves.

  However, the blue smoke that you and a few other posters are intoxicated on is that Israel is nearly blameless in this affair. It is a rejection of the most obvious facts which greet even Israelis in the news daily but which, for some reason, you must not let enter into your consciousness for fear of somehow betraying the Jewish people.

  Privately, I am very concerned for how you and some others here interpret blatant acts of terrorism like the Kind David Hotel bombing.

  Kahane Chai, anyone?

Disturbing.

103. O.K...let's accept both are commiting war crimes.
For the sake of argument. I hope Israel did not bomb innocent civilians deliberately, but lets assume they did.

Does that make Israel morally equivalent to Hezbollah?

No it does not. Israel wants to live in peace; Hezbollah wants to die in war (and take others along with them).

106. I have NEVER said Israel is completely innocent...never.
However, I HAVE seen support for Hezbollah on DU. People need to know what Hezbollah has done to warrant such fury from Israel. It's not about 'JUST 2 SOLDIERS' as some here like to say. This group is evil and needs to go. Israel's doing that. Hezbollah's goal is to annihilate the Jews and Israel's goal is to get rid of Hezbollah. I support Israel in that battle. Hopefully it will end soon and with fewer deaths on BOTH SIDES.

Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 01:55 AM by Mr_Spock
What you people need to learn is:

TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT

and

"HE WHO LIVES BY THE SWORD, SHALL DIE BY IT"



If that means Hizbollah, then I'm fine by that - they should mostly be killed.

If that means children are killed by deliberately careless "eye for and eye" actions, then the sword bearer in that instance shall be destined to death as well.

121. Follow the link and count how many children Hezbollah has killed over the
years. Where's the outrage over that? Do you NOT UNDERSTAND that those people CANNOT be talked to? Did you even read the Nasrallah quote I posted? Do you not understand their life's DREAM? They CANNOT be negotiated with. Why is it Israel is the only freakin' country who can't protect itself without people going nuts? THIS IS A TERRORIST group we're dealing with here. They are not a COUNTRY who can be dealt with by diplomatic means. That's just not an option with those people.

Now that Qana is cleared out, perhaps they can get to Hezbollah and this will be over soon. I hope.

Unless you live with terrorism DAILY, you have no idea what those people live through on a daily basis. It's very easy to judge them from wherever you sit...unless you're in Israel, that is.

142. "Now that Qana is cleared out"....what kind of people think this way?
Racists should scare the bejeebus out of decent people and describing the massacre of children, women, and the elderly with such a callous remark tells me that you have little regard for any of "those people".

Israel's intentions are quite clear now, for any thinking person to see with their own eyes. Their age-old disregard for the pain of those who stand in the way of Israeli objectives has become obvious.

You certainly have a peculiar way of discerning terrorism.

Israel should not be "deliberately careless." Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to judge the degree of care they are taking...clearly, they are taking more care than Hezbollah.

However, I would disagee you can equate the immorality of being "careless" to some degree with deliberately targeting civilians, as Hezbollah and other terrorist groups have done.

96. Israel hasn't tried for peace like they could have
Sure, theyre in a tough position, but if they truly wanted peace they would recognize the existance of palestine and make every effort possible to not kill civilians.

I can't give them a pass.

127. Israel wants peaceful coexistence?
Tell that to Palestinians or the other nation that has its land occupied by Israel.

I agree with much of what you said but you, like many "pros" on both sides of this, are painting "your" side as angelic when the sad fact is that both sides currently don't want peace.

Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 02:16 AM by Clarkie1
They are imperfect, like all nations. They are, however, a functioning democracy.

Do you think the Israelis would continue to occupy Palestine if all terrorist actions against them stopped and Hamas recognized Israel's right to exist? I don't.

I hope someday the Palestinians accept what needs to be done to achieve peace, and force their leaders to follow suit.

131. Palestine and Lebanon are also democracies
Democracy is no free pass to steal other's lands, which is hardly democratic.

Hamas didn't even exist until 1988. The occupation began in 1967.

I realize the need for Hamas to disarm and accept Israel in order for there to be peace but the occupation is hardly a defensive measure. Building settlements, segregated highways for Israelis only, taking the vast majority of the area's water for a small fraction of the population (settlers), etc. is hardly a result of terror. It is an old fashioned land grab. That mostly went out of fashion in the 50's, but a few throwbacks exist.

Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 02:39 AM by Clarkie1
Lebanon does not have control of it's own land. To me, that is not a functioning democracy.

As for Palestine, I also do not believe the government has control over the Hamas militia.

Until such control is achieved, these places cannot be considered fully functioning democracies because they are not fully sovereign over their territory in any practical sense of the term.

136. Valid points
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 02:58 AM by JackNewtown
Of course, one could also argue that a nation which rules millions of people via force and against their will is not a democracy either. Or one could bring up the second-class status of some citizens in Israel, which wouldn't qualify as democratic to most.

Anyway, being a democracy hardly grants a nation a free pass to take other's land.

134. Hamas opposes peace. Who disputes this?
Hamas is an evil organization with a vile ideology. What does that have to do with Israeli settlements? Oh yes, the settlements strengthen Hamas...

137. All the blame?
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 03:02 AM by Solon
I'm debating as to whether the blame should be shared, 50/50 with the IDF and Hezbollah, or 60/40, with Hezbollah getting most of the blame. To be honest, I don't see how ANYONE can actually be honest and say one or the other side is BLAMELESS in this conflict. Hezbollah started it, and the IDF either have missles that don't work as advertised, which is a definate possiblity, our high tech "guided missles" miss the target like half the time, or they simply don't care who to hit as long as they hit somebody.

138. If only
"All Israel asks is peaceful coexistence. That is all. It's not too much to ask."

Then why does Israel refuse the Arab Peace Initiative?

140. Be angry with whomever you want.
I'm angry as hell at Israel, but then I tend to have higher expectations of the party with the most power, and the one that claims to be a democracy that observes a high standard of morality.

I'm also angry as hell at this country for providing the money and the weapons that continue to enable this situation.

I'm beginning to learn more about the history of that region, and I don't think that those groups simply exist in a vaccuum.

143. Fortunately
the public at large is now able to see the situation a little more clearly. Personally, I have been following events very closely since the Sabra and Chatila massacres so I have a pretty good idea of how the blame should be apportioned.

What may be different this time around is that the internet is giving a wider range of people the opportunity to see things outside the corporate filter. Hopefully this will lead to a fundamental change in our unconditional support of Israel's policies of occupation and apartheid.

What you may want to keep in mind is this: All the efforts that you make to apologize Israel for everything and blame everyone else, the Europeans, the UN, the Arabs, Muslims...are only serving to further expose your hypocicy. The united front and propoganda campaigns have worked very well in the past but we are in a new age now and if there is any chance for peace the majority of people will finally open their eyes.

We have exposed the neo-cons in the US government and their connections to the Israeli power structure. I trust people will be able to put 2 and 2 together and understand that the government is not acting in the best interests on people who simply do want to live in peace. There are fundamentalists in Israel, the settlers, and fundamentalists in the Arab world. They exist because the elected leaders need them to exist.
