<RETALIATION for war crimes committed by the enemy against "my" side's population, not merely "self-defense">

Retaliation against civilians that is not designed for purposes of self-defense is most certainly a vile war crime.

Thus, in sum, Israel warned ALL CIVILIANS to leave S. Lebanon. Thus, they covered their @sses legally with regard to being accused of war crimes when they attacked those areas they perceived were the origins of Hizbullah rocket attacks.

You can hardly accuse them of war crimes when they provided ample warning that they were going to retaliate against these missile launches.

Case closed.

Basically you are admitting that morally Israel committed war crimes.
