This rhetoric is hard to understand. An intelligent person should be able to recognize a couple of simple basics. You are looking at a tiny nation surrounded by hundreds of millions who seek to destroy it. Can't fight without shooting guns. What makes you think that they do not care about "life and rights of non-Jews"? Did yo ever have a chance to socialize with any Israelis? Did they give you an impression of being monsters? I saw nothing of this sort. They obviously care, just not enough to make them commit national suicide.

Israelis seem not to care one bit for the life or rights of non-Jews Hizbullah and Hamas refute you by their strategy. Their strategy depends on using civilians as human shields, yes? Well who are those civilians? Are they Jews? No. They are Arabs. If Israel really fought like the Russians, if it really didn't care about the lives of non-Jews, would the strategy work? Not a chance. The Israelis would simply carpet bomb the areas they were getting shelled from. And Hizbullah and Hamas would have to find a different strategy.
