"The side with more firepower is likely to cause more destruction. It indicates nothing as to blame for the start of the conflict and little to nothing as far as the morality of their actions during the conflict. " This is simplistic and ignores the real objectives of the Israeli fighting force. No what's simplistic is looking at the casualty totals and then assigning blame to the side that has the lower number. Israel resorted to indiscriminate destruction If Israel was really trying for indiscriminate destruction the number of Lebanese being killed would be thousands of times higher. Furthermore, Israel, by deliberate destruction of Lebanese infrastructure and Lebanese lives Israel wasn't deliberately killing any Lebanese it can. As for infrastructure most of that destruction was roads and bridges that could have been used by Hezbollah. You will do well to read news from bbc.co.uk I frequently do.
