BCVP,

Your question is valid, in bringing up the proportionality of response to that of injury inflicted. But it is equally valid to consider the degree to which such a populace is logistically supporting such fighters.

I won't disagree with that. According to the Salon article (and if others have contradicting evidence, I'm all ears), Hezbollah fighters stay away from civilians out of distrust. So whatever support the "populace" is giving Hezbollah probably isn't much.

That brings up another question. Does the punishment fit the "crime" (support)?

Why do you accept a single Salon article that provides no factual support for its claim over what is generally acknowledged and as far as I know is uncontested by anyone including HZB itself?

You didnt answer the question. The article provides no evidence, just makes an unsubtantiated claim that conflicts with what, outside that article is undenied by HZB despte being accused of seem constantly. Why is contradictory evidence needed?
