Israel: Takes prisoners and kills some people, in attempts to kill militants who may or may not appear to be civilians. Has a history of being attacked by neighbors and militants. Has a government that resticts certain types of speech, religious expresison etc. Has the right to defend itself by attacking those places where its enemies lie.
Lebanon: Contains militants, who prefer to kill rather than capture and capture to negotiate prisoner releases, for prisoners who may not be being held legally. Hizbolah has a history of killing civilians as targets in Israel, and represents a large portion of the population of Lebanon. Lebanon has the responsibility to defend itself from Israel, and to contain Hizbolah, but lacks the power to do so effectively, or without civil war.
Palestine: Ruled by militants with a history similar to Hizbolah only more so. Has the right to autonomy from Israel, and feels repressed. Denies Israel's right to exist. Has the right to defend itself.
