is it humanity to kill civilian in lebanon and palestine?

Answer 1

From the Americans point of view, it seems that there are no humans but Americans and Israelis, although there is no humanity in any of their actions. No body has the right for self defense but them. I suggest that they both destroy the whole world in advance so that nobody thinks of attacking them, and then, when only America and Israel remains with their weapons, they start to destroy each other till the existing world ends.

Answer 2

No, it is a strategy of terror by Israel, and the USA:-

"basically the current stage of what's going on -- there's a lot more -- begins with the Hamas election, back the end of January. Israel and the United States at once announced that they were going to punish the people of Palestine for voting the wrong way in a free election. And the punishment has been severe.

At the same time, it's partly in Gaza, and sort of hidden in a way, but even more extreme in the West Bank, where Olmert announced his annexation program, what’s euphemistically called “convergence” and described here often as a “withdrawal,” but in fact it’s a formalization of the program of annexing the valuable lands, most of the resources, including water, of the West Bank and cantonizing the rest and imprisoning it, since he also announced that Israel would take over the Jordan Valley. Well, that proceeds without extreme violence or nothing much said about it.

Gaza, itself, the latest phase, began on June 24. It was when Israel abducted two Gaza civilians, a doctor and his brother. We don't know their names. You don’t know the names of victims. They were taken to Israel, presumably, and nobody knows their fate. The next day, something happened, which we do know about, a lot. Militants in Gaza, probably Islamic Jihad, abducted an Israeli soldier across the border. That’s Corporal Gilad Shalit. And that's well known; first abduction is not. Then followed the escalation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, which I don’t have to repeat. It’s reported on adequately.

The next stage was Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers, they say on the border. Their official reason for this is that they are aiming for prisoner release. There are a few, nobody knows how many. Officially, there are three Lebanese prisoners in Israel. There's allegedly a couple hundred people missing. Who knows where they are?

But the real reason, I think it's generally agreed by analysts, is that -- I’ll read from the Financial Times, which happens to be right in front of me. “The timing and scale of its attack suggest it was partly intended to reduce the pressure on Palestinians by forcing Israel to fight on two fronts simultaneously.” David Hearst, who knows this area well, describes it, I think this morning, as a display of solidarity with suffering people, the clinching impulse.

It's a very -- mind you -- very irresponsible act. It subjects Lebanese to possible -- certainly to plenty of terror and possible extreme disaster. Whether it can achieve any result, either in the secondary question of freeing prisoners or the primary question of some form of solidarity with the people of Gaza, I hope so, but I wouldn't rank the probabilities very high."

Answer 3

Get a clue, romyo4jouliat and Dd. This battle in Lebanon was started because Hezbulah members made a raid on Israel and kidnapped an Israeli soldier. Israel, unlike here in the USA, does not wait for a dozen or more attacks before they take action, decided that they would get their soldier back. They asked nicely once to have him back. Then they demanded to get him back, and then they took action to get him back.

Israel flew over the areas that were to be bombed and dropped leaflets telling the citizens to move out of the way, and even said which targets were to be targeted.

Unlike the Palestinians who strap bombs to their children and carry the children into crowded shops to blow up innocent Israeli citizens, the Israelis warn before they attack and they target specific targets to cripple Hezbulah-- they, unlike Hezbulah and the Palestinians are not out to hurt innocent civilians. Israel is out to cripple Hezbulah's infrastructure, and retrieve their soldier.

So yes, it is humane what Israel is doing-- not many governments warn the citizens of another country before they send in the bombs, and not many governments care who they hit, but Israel does.

So get your facts straight (and for the person who posted those long quotes-- why don't you research a little better, instead of quoting from a page which has an agenda?).

From MSN news:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13853565/
"a top Israeli general warned residents of south Lebanon to evacuate the area in the coming hours ahead of an imminent Israeli attack."

And from what I can tell, the eight people killed were Israelis when "Hezbollah rocket attacks killed at least eight people in Israel’s third largest city " (from the same article).

And:
"Hours later, the guerrillas launched a new onslaught of rockets at the citaiy of Haifa and other communities across northern Israel, causing more injuries, authorities said."

So do not sit there and say "poor Lebanon" when it was their kidnapping of an Israeli soldier that began this battle, and they are bombing Israeli cities with people in it, without warning. Israel (from what I can see in the articles I have read thus far) has not killed any Lebanon citizens, yet Hezbulah is purposefully attacking crowded Israeli cities trying to kill innocent civilians.

Hezbulah started this and I am GLAD that there is a country (Israel) with enough guts to fight back.
