Is it ok for Israel to kill civilians? if so, how come it's not labeled as terrorist?

Question

Israel has killed countless defensless women and children. they claim that hizbullah is hiding between them. I don't know if this is true or not, but just the fact that the world accepts this as an excuse is INHUMANE and proof that ppl are so brainwashed by propaganda and beleive and agree with what the news say, WAKE UP people, just because there are some bad roots among women and children, doens't mean we kill them ALL to get rid of some. This is WRONG, wrong wrong wrong.
So, what i'm not sure of it why israel is not labeled as a terrorist state? it's people are humans like all others, but the gvt is as terrorist as al qaeda or hizbullah. do you agree?
before you answer, think beyind the borders.what you hear may not be pwoerful, but think about how horrible it is when you know that a CHILD is killed, and more than that is the fact that the child is killed by Israel, a "civilized" state. Is that ok? is it ok for the kid to die because a f..g hizbulla guy hid in his bldg???

IMPORTANT Notice: Some people tell me that Israel warned civilians in lebanon before it bombed the area. Sounds fair right? I liked the idea too, but the fact is that israel bombed all roads and bridges, so civilains find themselves trapped in the middle of the war. PLUS, israel is bombing any car moving in south lebanon, reagrdless if civilains are in it or not. So its true that we can say that israel warned civilians, but its ONLY for the sake of looking good in the media, the latter doens't talk about how the ppl are blocked and can do nothing but to wait and die, and it is OK for some of you perverts to blame the civilains. Is it ok to call the civilians terrorists because they are trapped in the middle of a war? Israel is a criminal, and criminal that shoudl one day pay for all its crimes ( and so does hizbullah as well).

Answer 1

The only differences between Terrorists and apparently legitimate armies are these:
A Uniform.
Point of View.

Answer 2

They follow the rules of war. Israel has warned civilians many hours in advance to leave areas that are to be attacked by their national military.

Terrorists give no such notice. They kill at random in cowardly acts. Israel is one of the most terrorized nations in the world, they are finally stepping up and saying that their people and their nation will no longer accept being terrorized. They are not attacking another country....they are in essence defending and securing their own country so that their citizens can walk the streets without fear. So that their citizen can go the the market without fear of their bus exploding or a bomb going off near the market sending shards of metal and bb's everywhere killing and maiming countless individuals over the years.

Israel is not attempting to kill civilians. Israel is warning the average citizen to leave areas they are moving in on. Israel is finally making moves that should have been done long ago. I think its time that the world stops bashing Israel and starts supporting them. If we didn't have terrorist groups then we would not have civilian casualties, we wouldn't have cowards hiding behind innocent people leading to the loss of their lives.

Answer 3

It is IMMORAL to kill women and children for the sake of killing women and children (like the Hezbollah does).
It is very UNFORTUNATE that women and children have to die, because we (Israel) have to defend ourselves from rockets launched against our country.
If there was any other way of dealing with this we would do it. For example, In 2000, AFTER Israel withdrew from Lebanon, Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli cities and kidnapped 3 soldiers (who later died from their wounds). The government then negotiated the return of the bodies, in exchange for more then a 100 Lebanese terrorists that were held in Israel, and thousands of arrested Palestinian, some with blood on their hands. We had a relative peace and quite with Hezbollah for about 6 years (with a few skirmishes) and now Hezbollah attacked us again, unprovoked.
Would you negotiate with them again?
It should be said that Israel refrains from killing civilians, as much as possible. But there are some times that one cannot sit down and do nothing when his country is under attack.
Let me just add that it pains me a lot to see the pictures from Lebanon. I think that the devastation their is great, but I also think it is absolutely necessary to defeat the Hezbollah, even if the cost is high.

Answer 4

Yes it is ok for Isreal to kill civilians. Isreal is under attack. There are two fundamental differences between Isreal and Hezbulla.

1. Hezbulla began the conflict.

2. Hezbulla purposely targets civilians.

Isreal didn't just go off and start firing rockets...they were attacked! If Hezbulla hides in buildings where they use children as human shields, then essentially, Hezbulla is condemning those children to die. It is a horrible reality of war, but civilians die.

And the thing that gets me is that no one talks of the hundreds of misslies fired indiscriminantly at Isreal. Isreal's civilians are being purposly targeted and killed, yet the only civilian casualties we hear of are the Lebonese. Isreal is targeting places where Hezbulla is known to be hiding, not just bombing the entire city.

The hippocray and one sided way people see this amazes me.

Answer 5

Israel is defending itself—it was attacked. Hezbollah targets civilians in Israel. Israel goes out of its way not to injure civilians like by sending leaflets to warn civilians that their area is in danger. A Hezbollah guy hiding in a building is not going to bring down a building. A building containing terrorist leaders will hopefully come down. Hezbollah does place its military installations in the middle of their own civilians which is against the rules of war. Hezbollah parades their dead children to influence world view. Israel has lost many children but does not use them to manipulate the press.

Answer 6

You need to wake up and see that the whole middle east wants Israel blow off the map and if a few civilians git killed that there choice Israel drooped fliers telling them to get out and they stayed. **** happens in war so grow up and deal with it and we should take a few lessons from them, if we would we wouldn't have lost so many men in Iraq

Answer 7

War is horrible and sadly many innocent people die. It's very easy for you sitting in comfortable America to sit and become an armchair critic, when you don't have rockets flying through your windows.

Answer 8

Israel is not labeled as Terrorist cause it is blessed and under the wings of USA. ( However I find it bit strong to call them Terrorists)

Answer 9

It's always ok for the US and the international community when Isreal does the killings. As long as they resrict it to muslims and other brown people. And of course US warships.

Answer 10

Are you serious? Do you know why Israel is fighting the terrorists? Why don't you ask about the suiicide bombers who blow themselves up in public places, killing both arabs and jews, woman and children. Open your eyes.
