I don't see why Hezbollah bombing only civilians with missiles loaded with shrapnel which is definitely a WAR CRIME gets so much sympathy when they are shooting missiles using civilians as cover. But when Israel tries to stop them they are evil. At least Israel is trying to kill other Combatants, Hezbollahs missiles are aimed solely at civilians Did you see the Canadian Story where the spokesperson of the Canadian Muslim Congress has been forced to step down because he is worried about death threats from Muslims in Canada. Someone better find a way to sort the good ones from the bad ones in a hurry, or Canadian Freedoms will be a thing of the past. BTW is the head of Hizbollah still safely hiding out in Syria?

I think that it is minimalist to watch an army kill over 700 innocent civilians and say "tsk-tsk... accidents happen -- just blame it on Hezbollah" and think that's fine. Meanwhile, Israel has basically dared Hezbollah to fire everything it has at its civilians by its actions. Just like attacking Iraq proved that the US was not very afraid of anything their army could do with WMD against them (and Israel certainly wasn't worried at the time either), Israel's attack of Hezbollah showed that they were not overly concerned with what Hezbollah could do to their army or their civilians, despite all these claims of the threat from rockets.
