"If one side is using civilians as body armor then no matter how carefully you take aim at the fighters, you will kill some civilians - the situation has been set up so you can't avoid it. You still have the responsibility to aim as carefully as you can, but you will kill civilians." When your enemy doesn't care about civilian casualties on either side, you have an obligation to end the war as quickly as you can regardless of the number of casualties he suffers. Hizbollah shows no sign of any concern for casualties that are not Muslim. Thus Israel has the obligation to fight the war on Hizbollahs terms. Had there been 20,000 Shiite deaths in Lebanon, this war might have been won.
