Do you thinki it is right for Israel not to take responsibility for their aggression against civilians?

Question

Many of your answers concerning Israel's continuous attack on the innocent population (including children and infants) indicate the cowards in Hizbollah are the culprits. Are you saying that Israel is not to blame for the massacre of innocents?

pardon the typo, thinki, you know I meant think

Answer 1

Israel should be blamed for all this damage that they have done..... For all the damage they have done for the the capture of 2 soldiers, its not justified. Right now the country is in total ruins and disarray, who is going to rebuild this country? Are they expecting donations from other countries to rebuild it?
Now we are going to have a humanitarian crisis on our hands, refugees migrating to other areas...and guess what the ones that can afford to come here (usa) will stay and become illegals... bc there is noth to go back to Lebanon for which eventually will create more problems here.
Israel should be taken to court for war crimes..... for the innocent victims that have been killed.

Answer 2

The United States and it allies killed a lot of civilians trying to defeat and destroy Hitler's and Japan's war machines. In war there will always be civilian casualties. We didn't start that war and Israel didn't start this one. The facts are Hizbella started it and then hides behind civilians when attacking. I guess that qualifies them as both culprits and cowards.

Answer 3

I do not think they are responsible. I believe that they are really trying to hit Hezbollah but the targets are being stoked with "Innocent people" by Hezbollah. The last one looked very staged when they were filming it. The body's were too easily found like they knew where they were. I believe that Hezbollah baited Israel into bombing that building just to show that more civilians would die.

Answer 4

Israel is not to blame, correct. Israel was not the agressor, their army is properly attired in uniforms. The terrorists hide amongst civilians and are without uniforms. If a rocket is fired at you from a house, you take out the house. Terrorists love to use propaganda to win world opinion, "See how evil Israel is, they kill little children". I would root for the devil himself if he were fighting any terrorists.

Answer 5

Read what I quoted below:

"Both attacking and defending military forces have independent and non-derogable legal obligations toward civilians in the course of combat operations. Their respective obligations merit equal emphasis in media reporting and commentary as well as in monitoring by human rights organizations and other concerned individuals, non-governmental organizations, and governments and international institutions. Reporting on instances of collateral damage must properly ask not only whether attacking forces took due precautions for the protection of noncombatants but also whether defending forces likewise took due precautions for civilian protection or, instead, whether defending forces explicitly or implicitly relied on the proximity of civilians to shield their forces from attack in violation of the laws of war. In accordance with settled standards of international humanitarian law and the laws of war, obligations of defenders to protect civilians are no less important or less obligatory than those of attackers."

Answer 6

It is my personal opinion that the Israelis take responsibility for civilian losses. They way I see it is if you killed my family by "accident" I would be inclined to pickup a weapon against you as well. I fail to see how they are making the situation any better, it seems like they are increasing the hatered and increasing the enemies ranks.

Answer 7

Do you think it is right for Israel's enemies, one and all, not to take responsibility nor show remorse for their aggression against civilians?

You know & I know that Israel TARGETS their armed enemies, not noncombatants. You know & I know that that Israel tries to warn civilians about what area will become battlefields, so that they can leave there. You know & I know that Hizbullah TARGETS civilians preferentially. You know & I know that Hizbullah is proud of their killings of civilians, and says so, and Israel regrets theirs, and says so. You know & I know that Hizbullah intentionally places its launchers in civilian areas and homes; those who can fight them off, such as Druse villagers, do so, but those who can't, like Christian villagers, endure having rockets launched from their yards and roofs, and complain helplessly to whatever online media they can access. (They can't complain to news camera crews because those have armed Hizbullah minders with them at all times.)

You know these things as well as I do. You just don't care.

Answer 8

Well, lets put it this way....if the Hezbollah didn't hide behind the civilians, and did not come into Israel, and kill 6 soldiers, and kidnapped two....then not of this would have happened, and you would not be asking this question....
