I see you have passed on providing evidence on why you think Israel violated the Geneva Conventions. You elected instead to pull a typical liberal trick, you feel like it is. Your argument failed without factual augmentation.

"BTW unlike Israel, Hezbollah is not a signatory to the Geneva Conventions and therefore is not required to follow them.......not that that matters. The US IS a signatory but under Bush, we pretty much ignored them.........invalidating their importance in the process........not that that matters to you and Bush. If it works for you all, you'll bring them up and make a big stink like you did in this post to me."

The US has not violated the Geneva Conventions. The US is a signatory of the first two, and the third and fourth are controversial with very few nations signing on. We have not violated our treaties, unlike Lebanon by allowing a terrorist proxy for a terrorist nation to operate freely within its borders. Posting egregiously false statements is not an effective way of winning people to your side.
