RedFox said:Hezbollah killing civilians is no reason for Israel to kill civilians or not to learn how to reduce such deaths. They should try to avoid such things because it'd only give the terrorists reasons to continue their attacks.
Hezbollah's actions are not justification for Israel's. However, it is important to acknowledge that the intent of Israel is very different than the intent of Hezbollah. Israel does not intend to hurt the Lebanese although it is unfortunate that some innocent civilians are going to get hurt as an inevitable side effect of war.. Hezbollah wants to slaughter every single Israeli living today.
RedFox said:So why use weapons that don't know civilians from terrorists?
What would you suggest? A magical terrorist detector? Hezbollah guriellas wear plainclothes and are indistinguishable from civilians.
RedFox said:Use other means. They did tell them what they were going to do, but what of poor people who can't afford to uproot and move out? It'd be like Katrina telling everybody in New Orleans what she'd do to the city when there were people who didn't have transportation.
That's a nonsense argument. If Katrina said to NO "I'm going to destroy your city. Get out NOW.", everyone would have evacuated except diehard fools.
RedFox said:The organization's civil branch has 23 out of 128 chairs in the Lebanese parliament. How are they being supported by the entire government? Why not peel off the bad part instead of blowing up the whole thing?
The political branch has nothing to do with it. The fact that the Lebanese government did not arrest, try and if guilty convict the Hezbollah terrorists is evidence that they support them. If the US government knew that there were al-Qaeda terrorists in the US and DIDN'T act on it, the US government is to be held accountable for not dealing with them. The Lebanese government is not exonerated from guilt because it had a terrorist group (that it was fully aware of) in its midst and did absolutely nothing about it.
