Oh; did they do that to their own children?

They did it to the women and children, Catholic and Protestant, of Northern Ireland.

Do you see a difference between hiding among and deliberately choosing to fight behind your child as a human shield?

You are assuming that Hezbollah are Lebanese Nationals, most members of Terrorist orgs are from other countries. These are not their own children they are putting at risk simply the children of a convenient state.

Anyone who would use their women and children like that is an evil coward, I don't care where they are from. Saying all terrorists do the same thing does what for your argument?


Often Terrorists are simply people with an agenda they cannot persuade others to endorse, so they use fear as a weapon. I fail to see why you want to discriminate between different brands of terrorism. It isn't the who terrorists care about killing although I am sure they would prefer some important victims, but the body count they can rack up.
In this exercize Hezbollah is attaining many goals, they are helping make people think Israel is going overboard, they are creating fear in Israel, they are making governments all over the world pay attention, and they are making a big splash which will bring in all kinds of money from Muslims all over the world to help in their fight. From hezbollah's point of view the death of a few Lebanese citizens, some of whom may not even be Muslim is a small price to pay.....
