By your own words, it is Hizbullah that gets away with murder Absolutely, Israel calls itself democratic and law abiding, No? Therefore it has answers to it actions. On the other hand Hezbo is a militia a terrorist organization, as you call it, it does not abide by any laws So the double standard is total. Hizbullah can turn babies in baby carriages into IEDs and you have no complain to make against them, but you will always castigate Israel for its "crimes", whether real or imagined. The logical corollary of this statement is that Lebanese have human rights only if they get attacked by Israel. If Hizbullah kills them or uses them for human body armor, they have no rights. Makes me wonder if I should still use the term "human rights" at all, or if it would be more accurate to call it "the right not to get killed by a democracy that upholds the rule of law." I never saw anyone admit it like that before. Thank you.
