Do Israeli reasons for killing civilians justifiable?

Question

Israeli says it is threatened byhezbullah. But any country in the world may be threatened by forces outside its border. Should countries assault other states just because they are threatened by them?

Answer 1

If they are attacked and soldiers are kidnapped - then yes. And let's not forget this has been ongoing for many years. Hezbollah just thought they would kidnap the soldiers and then just do a typical prisoner swap. Boy did they get a surprise. The terrorism has to stop at some point in time and the Israelis are being threatened everyday and Iran's president has called for the complete destruction on Israel and all Jews. They are cornered and feel it is time to start sending messages to the radical nations in the ME region. If hezbollah is a powerful militia group then why don't they come out from under the cover of women & children? Fight the Israelis like men not the cowards they actually are. Hiding weapons and firing weapons from civilian homes, apartments, churches, mosques, etc... only leaves the Israelis one option and that is waring the civilians before attacking. Israel is the only country that does this and if civilians die - well that's the cost of war. BTW - the Lebanese elected hezbollah and can not control hezbollah - don't cry when Israel controls hezbollah for you.

Answer 2

There is a difference between "forces outside its border" and forces that have crossed the border killed eight soldiers and kidnapped three others. Israel's is fighting a just war right now. They have implemented "smart" weapon technology to minimize civilian casualties. It is regrettable that its enemy stores weapons and launches rockets from civilian areas.
Hizballah is intentionally trying to harm civilians. See the Human Rights Watch link below on how this is done.

Answer 3

There is absolutely no reason enough to kill innocent people and children ,however the terrorists attack is not something new to Israeli politics and as usual it's always baked up by the USA which makes things worse.This is why I think it is the hostile way of behaving with the palestenian and other innocents what makes the arabs be more and more furious ,angry and therfore hostile to Israel.

Answer 4

Hizzbolla is forcing woman and children to stay in the very civilian houses where Hizzbolla are firing rockets from the roofs in order to draw the Israeli bombs on those homes so they can flaunt to the press the dead. They are sacrificing their women and kids in order to try to create bad public image against Israel...don't fall for it!

Answer 5

Hezbollah started all this! What do you expect them to do when thousands of rockets are launched from Lebanon and soldiers are kidnapped. Do you want them to jst sit there and watch? No! It's Hezbollah's fault that all these innocent people are dying. They hide among them and launch their rockets near civilian hideouts. They need to be destroyed and Israel is doing it for us. Good job! but keep the civilian casualties down.

Answer 6

What a dumb question. If someone threatens your life and have killed in the past aren't you going to defend yourself? Are you justified in hiding behind innocent children during a war? Where are your honor and respect for your own citizens?

Answer 7

Not until attacked which Israel was. Besides the threat that Israel faces is no ordinary threat. For decades Arabs have vowed to wipe them off the face of the map. When your own survival is threatened it is insane to try to be fair to the threatening party. I wouldn't blame Israel is she used a neutron bomb on all those suckers.

Answer 8

No. There is never a reason for killing civilians.

And some of you need to get your facts strait. Hezbollah did not start this. Isreal did. And Hezbollah does not = Lebanon.

Answer 9

There's a difference between an abstract threat and a concrete threat of dozens-hundreds of rockets raining down each day.

Answer 10

of direction there are situations wherein that's justifiable to disclaim get right of entry to to newshounds! definitely definitely everyone definitely has the suitable suited to disclaim them get right of entry to to non-public property. they are not precisely the FBI or maybe the FBI desires a seek warrant. there are various places that a reporter does not have the suitable suited to pass. that's a comfortable remember, certainly. however the protection stress does have a accountability to maintain extraneous human beings out of the conflict zone, i could think of. the protection stress additionally has the activity to disclaim get right of entry to to completely definitely everyone who ought to help the enemy; and its a case of "greater advantageous risk-free than sorry." some journalists, of direction, have been time-honored to pass the place they have been instructed to no longer, with a view to get a tale. that's classic in countries with a unfastened press. information media tolerate considered one of those habit and each so often motivate it of their workers. in any case, it is not my call. The Israeli courts will settle it. Now, if a reporter had to check out the movements of Russia in Georgia, or of Iran close to its border with Iraq, i think of they would not in any respect get permission till they might assure a report favorable to the government.
