they happen to kill innocent civilians who were told in advance to leave? Where is the uproar when suicide bombers specifically target civilians and kill them?

My sentiments exactly.
Unfortunately, we live in an age where many people -- especially secularists, leftists, and anti-Israel folks -- believe in moral relativism and moral equivalency.
They really do believe that the accidental killing of civilians who are placed in harm's way by the other side, is on the same moral level as the deliberate killing of civilians with suicide bombings.
I know, it's nuts, isn't it? But in our moral-relativist age, people really believe this. They really believe that neither act is worse than the other.

Israel did not bomb Hezbollah. They dropped a bomb on civilians, though it appears to be a mistake they have to be more care full with those 5 tone bombs that they are using. Israel is getting too reckless in their air strikes. You can not drop a 5 ton bomb where so many civilians reside. Israel has asked people to leave but as soon as they hit the road they get shelled...so what were these poor people to do? Israel is so trigger happy they just drop bombs on anything they suspect.
That is too careless. The life of a human being should not be treated with disregard, not Jews , not Arabs, not Africans , not whites we are all humans not critters!

Because the world is against anything American or anyone that is friends with America. Israel is just tired of the state sponsored terrorism and is doing something about it. If the U. S. and other countries would do the same we would have a lot less terrorist left in the world. Hezbollah and the Islams should both be entirely wiped out from the face of the earth.

Exactly. Spineless liberals/moderates have no comprehension of how to deal with terrorist. They ignore suicide bombers by pretending they are not there, because it bothers them that that there isn't a peaceful way to resolve things. They would rather try and better the terrorist's home country then go and disarm him. They come down on countries that defend themselves because they intimidated and afraid of people that can look at a situation in context and know the right thing to do. Since they are used to ignoring realty and going instead with "feeling" they see people with discernment and courage as threat.

No state can be held responsible for their suicide bombers and terrorists. The UK didn't use the IRA atrocities as an excuse to carpet bomb or nuke Ireland. How fast would you leave your home and where would you go if told to by the enemy? America is to blame for supplying Israel with what in other hands you would be calling WMD's.

I saw lots of uproar against Hezbollah, no? Also, if civilians get killed an uproar should be made regardless of who is doing it.

The only time you will hear an uproar from the media is if the USA, Israel, or some of our allies are fighting back, and we accidentally kill an innocent. If it is anti American, or anti Jew, then the press loves it.

bring it home. A gang is keeping weapons in your house. They threaten to kill you if you interfere. Then you get a warning that your house will be demolished, and you should evacuate. At that point would you leave your only home, for an uncertain destination, or would you decide to stay home and "ride it out". I'd be tempted to stay home.
Bring it home now to a hypothetical example in USA. If there were a street gang keeping weapons in an elderly couple's house in the US, would destroying the elderly couple's house and the elderly couple themselvesreally be the only option to securing the weapons? I think not.
I'm trying to see both sides of this, and am having a difficult time.

Because hatred can never be resolved by more hatred, that only increases hatred on both sides.
You're killing us ... so we're killing you even more.
Real clever ... a way to sustain war forever.
Realize and understand that we are all children of God.
Israel has many prisoners that would probably try to hurt them if they were released ... so they can't.
Hezbollah thought that they could gain political advantage by showing their strength. ... and the fact that they don't recognize the Lebanese elected government.
They fight for hatred .... a sad idea that makes a mockery of Mohammed's teachings. Sorry, but the infidels can be from within too.
The big children are playing war ... and little children are dieing.
STUPID
STUPID
YEAH ... STUPID !!!

The civilians aren't collateral. They are being deliberately targeted. How this can be defined as anything but "state-sponsered terrorism" is mystifying. Regardless of the equally abhorrent activities of the militant Islamics, Israel's behaviour is nothing less than war crime.
