Are they blind or as they stated this is a deliberate policy to turn the population against Hezbollah?
Is this state terrorism?

Well, to the Palestinians, Isrealis are terrorists!
I believe that's what they call a vicious circle...

For starters, they do not have the technlogy that the u.s has for
fine tuneing our targets. The Iraqi war was the first war with the
fewest casualties ever. If you do your research you will find that
durring word war 1 and 2 our weapons were not as precise.
They are also aiming for specific targets and if civilians are nearby
there is not much you can do. You can not warn the enemy. That
would be stupid! I think that they have been rather conservative
so far. If you knew anything about the Middle east you would
also know that Hezbollah is the terrorist cell. If countries would
stop harboring terrorists we would'nt have this problem. I think
the U.S. should take out Iran and Syria also. We are the only
country that has the balls to take control and finish the situation
at hand. All the U.N. does is talk, and Hezbollah knows that so
the only country that there scared of is the U.S. and thats why
they hate us so much!

One of the problems Western cultures face is attempting to read our ideals into the cultures of the Middle East. In the minds of both factions, the killing of civilians is just a part of any war or hostility. I do not think that we can assume that either Hezbollah or Israel feels that it is wrong to kill citizens. The recently killed Al-Zhkwayi of Iraq believed that it was necessary and proper to kill those who opposed his brand of Islam. While Hezbollah and Israel are probably not that extreme, I think they do not have the same opinions as the West. Does either side consider themselves terrorists, since both sides are killing civilians? Not if I read the news correctly.
However, I would consider personally consider both sides, not just Israel, guilty of terrorism. Hezbollah has also killed civilians. Both sides, not just Israel, are wrong.

This is the direct result of war. Civilians are going to die in war. It can't be helped, and nowadays they are used as human shields to hide the real people that they are after. I think they are trying to Blow Hezbollah off the face of the earth to be honest, at any cost. Hezbollah has surrounded themselves with Civilians to make it Harder to get to them, and to make everyone think that Israel look bad when they kill the Civilians.

If attacking civilians is wrong, why is Hezbollah killing them??? A verse from the bible, "Why do you look at the speck in someone else's eye when there is a log in your own?" Israel has a right to defend itself against those who are hell bent on wiping them off the map. It will never happen, by the way.

Hezbollahs fired unprovoked and first at civilian population centers to kill civilians. They fired across an internationally recognized border and were unmolested by Israeli forces. If Mexico fired into the US unprovoked, you would have no question about the US's right to defend itself.
Israel fires into civilian centers because Hezbollah hides among the women and children hoping that they will protect them.

500 civilians is an exaggerated number by you. If the terrorists had a legitimate military I know for sure Israel's numbers would be much higher than that. Your question should be, "Why were Israeli civilians attacked first"? But of course you're on the wrong side.

Civilians or as hezbollah likes to us them, human shields, are being killed because the all so brave hezbollah, cowards that they are, like to hide their weapons where they live.
If the Lebanese population hated the terrorists as much as they hate Israel., they wouldnt let these pigs hide them there.
When you have missiles in the middle of apartment complexes they become military installations, theyre not civilian anymore.

There aren't magic weapons that only kill terrorists.. Hezbollah hides its weapons inside population centers so that they are less likely to be targeted. Israel is protecting its own population which is also being attacked. Also, your numbers are three times more than any reported figures.

Where did the number 500 come from? You probably have your own intelligence service. Besides, how can you identify, who is who? Military uniform?
The civilians were informed on the upcoming military retaliation. They had their Chance to leave.
Oh, I have one more question. If you host mobsters in your house, do you have a Chance to be killed, if they are attacked by police forces? I bet, you have the same chance as they are to be hurt. Just look who you share your bread with...

When you hide military buildings in with civilian buildings, civilians will die when they are attacked. The terrorists like to do that so that they can claim that their attackers were going after innocent civilians, but they are just unfortunate collateral damage in an ugly war. You can keep trying to get people to agree with you with your leading questions, but you are simply wrong.
