Israel did not start this war. Terrorist crossed their borders (that means violated a sovereign nation) and kidnapped 2 soldiers. Than these terrorist have been lobbing rockets into cities. As for Lebanon, they have allowed a rogue terrorist organization literally occupy the southern part of their country. This is a war for the very survival of the Jewish state. Muslim countries don't believe that Israel has the right to exist, therefore Israel has the right to defend herself. The terrorist have located themselves in populated civilian areas and then have the nerve to cry foul when Israel goes after them and civilian get killed. Do you see how ridiculous your question really is?

What Israel is doing in Lebanon is terrorism. The problem, is that most people are ignorant to this fact. Most people believe that Israel has a 'duty' to attack Lebanon and civilian casualties are an 'unfortunate' part of war.
At the end of the day, they kill civilians and even get US to back them up. That makes US a terrorist just the same.
But this view is not mainstream, and most people would never label Israel as a terrorist nation. There is some argument as to the provocation of this conflict, but the bottom line is that Israel's reaction was NOT justified, and the collateral damage should be condemned by the world nations, including the US.

I know this may be hard to grasp but innocent people are being killed in Israel also this attack was started by Hezbollah and while terrorism is a crime thay hide behind tha skirts of innocent women and children therefore innocent people in Israel and in Lebanon are getting killed. Israel is taking action against these terrorist but it may take some time before Hezbollah surenders the kidnapped soldiers back to Israel and gives up it's weapons because thay apparently have no respect for human life.

They are taking military action against a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is made up of cowards and they are not ashamed to hide among innocent people...so in Israel's response to Hezbollah's aggression, unfortunately some innocent people are going to get hurt and/or die. It's called "collateral damage" and is an unfortunate part of any military action.
Action has not been taken against Israel because Israel is not the aggressor here. Some of their soldiers were killed and 2 others were captured by the terrorist organization, Hezbollah. When Hezbollah was warned to turn over the captives, they refused and sought for a way to transfer the hostages to Iran. Israel had no option but to use force to gain the release of their soldiers and, now, is seeking to deal a fatal blow to the terrorist organization. Agreements with Hezbollah are now a thing of the past, Israel's goal is to destroy them completely.

Seems as though you miss the point. I find it difficult to understand people like you who haven't the ability or desire to see reality. This conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is a part of the war on terror, just as the war in Iraq is.
Hezbollah has been around since the 1980s. They stem from the group that took Americans hostage in 1979/1980. See, Hezbollah is not only an enemy of Israel, but is also an enemy of the United States.
Why does Hezbollah strap bombs on their children for suicide mission to kill innocent Israelis? I don't know who has filled your head with whatever it's filled with...but whoever it is, you need to ignore that source.
Yes, this has been going on for decades, but we are now in the GLOBAL War on Terror. Our focus is on dealing with terrorist groups and eliminating them. If Israel is successful in eliminating Hezbollah, I see that as a victory for Israel AND for the rest of the free world.

War is a crime. However, God already told us "There will be wars and rumors of wars." However, the children of Israel are the chosen people of God. They have been sinful and all that is happening now was foretold in the Bible. This is just prophecy being fulfilled. You are living in an historical time, already told to us that "all of this will come to pass in the end of days."
I'm sorry people are dying. I am even more sorrowful that people are dying before they took the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. There is no hope for those who have died unsaved. But there is hope for the rest of those who are still living.

Israel has stood idly by while their people have been killed and taken for too long, it is time for the world to leave the middle east, and simply allow Israel to handle it. It should take about seven days.......

What do you want the world to do? Invade Israel? All we can do is plead for peace, sanction, or send in troops. Do you really want to send more people with guns to get involved?
If you ever get the time, read up on the Six-Day war.
