Hezbollah are clearly bad -- in the sense that they kill innocent people and are the aggressor. Now consider what happens next. Israel can be good or it can be bad. It is certainly not bad for defending itself. But Israel adopts a response that does not correspond with self-defense, and then the tide turns so that compared to Israel, Hezbollah looks like an angel. This is know as "stupid behavior" on the part of Israel, but have no fear because the spin masters work hard to explain that it is logical and justified. The only problem with their efforts is that the only people they convince are themselves. The world hates Israel because Israel makes it so easy to hate Israel.

This what you posted:
"Blaming Israel for their deaths is no different than blaming the US and Britain and Russia for all of the German civilian deaths in WW2"

You brought up the "bad guy" argument. I was pointing out the absurdity of the argument.
