how israel reacts to attacks

[ QUOTE ]
Hezbollah has to attack from some geographical location, and also use other geographical locations to supply those bases from which they attack. Therefore Israel has to focus their attacks on such geographical locations.

[/ QUOTE ]Are you seriously suggesting that Israel is attacking only such "locations"? Entire houses have been hit with strictly civilian families living in them!

This is a game those opposing Israel's actions cannot win: Israel simply keeps labeling as "terrorist haven" or "suspicious of providing support to terrorists" anything it hits.


[ QUOTE ]
Look at those figures you give for the Lebanese military. They certainly seem sufficient to occupy the border areas and deal with a militia. If they aren't doing same then that nonaction is a policy of the Lebanese government which de facto makes them part of Hezbollah's attack.

[/ QUOTE ]So, plainly, this a war against the whole of Lebanon and Lebanon has every right to respond accordingly -- whatever that means.

If this isn't choosing the sword over the olive branch and inviting the next wave of terrorism, I don't know what is.

That's the catch-22 isn't it? No matter what happens and no matter who was right and who was wrong, another 40 years of hate has just been created.

[/ QUOTE ]Of course it doesn't have to. There are few absolutes in life.

But which side would you bet your hard-earned money on ?

i dont think any hate will actually be created from this. i think the hate is already there, the people who hate just need an excuse, if they even need that.

When an armed militia, based in Lebanon and supported and armed by your sworn enemies whose stated goal is to destroy your country, invades your country kills 8 soldiers and takes two hostages you don't respond with a strongly worded statement. Even the French would take military action in such a situation.

So, you are convinced that Israel is indeed targeting civilian housing in areas where they are well aware there are no strategic Hezbollah targets?
