This is a very tough question.
I can honestly say that I am 'on the fence' as far as who is right and who is wrong.
I believe that both sides are right and both sides are wrong. I'll explain:
- 2000 years ago the Jewish ppl had control of Jerusalem; some believe that gives them the right to own it no
- BUT then the Palestinians had control for many many years; some believe that gives them the land
- 1948 countries outside of either the Jewish ppl or the Palestinians stepped in and created Israel; thereby, giving it to Jewish ppl and settling the dispute
- Ever since that occurred, the Palestinians have felt as though the land was stolen from them... much like the Jewish ppl felt it was stolen from them before.
So you see, neither is right and neither is wrong.
-This also applies to the violence. Both sides have committed atrocities. Israel goes into Lebanon with aerial bombs kililng many civilians when they know Lebanon has no air force. That seems cowardly and unfair to me.
-But on the other side, you have the Palestinians and Hezbollah that constantly use suicide bombers to kill Israeli civilians.
Once again, neither is right and neither is wrong.

Israel has a history of not initiating military activity. Their attacks have almost always been restrained reactions to attacks by their enemies, and they attempt to target the attacker directly (i.e. destroying the car carrying the attackers or their superiors, destroying their home, etc.) instead of attacking random civilians like Muslims tend to do. Israel has prepared to invade Lebanon, but only in response to attacks, not in an attempt to grab territory.
On the other hand, Hezbollah (and other Muslim groups in the area) has been consistantly attacking Israel every chance they get, often using non-registered combatants ("civilians") who are frequently captured and confined. If you tease a dog often enough, even a nice one, it will eventually attack you back - and you have no right to complain when it does. Israel has finally had enough of this constant sniping and is fighting back with a vengence.
Also, Israel is fighting in the open and warning the areas it is targeting to give the civilians in those areas an opportunity to get out of the way. Muslim terrorists such as Hezbollah never do this. Hezbollah is, in fact, hiding behind women & children, and then screaming with feigned indignation that "Israel is targeting women & children!" when such civilians are injured or killed. This is cowardace in the extreme, and such deaths can only be on the heads of the Hezbollah, not Israel.
Honorable fighters would not hide behind women & children.
Honorable fighters warn non-combatants to get out of the way.

State your sources.
There are documented cases where the Hezbollah is hiding in civilian areas. This is true with all terrorists. They are not a traditional army and are made up of those "civilians" that you are so upset about. Israel did warn the Lebanese that there will be bombings and to get out. Did you miss that report too?

Hezbollah is the terrorist group. It purposely placed its missiles in Lebanese villages and left Israel with a choice: let Hezbollah kill Israeli citizens or stop them with force. Who placed the missiles there and who kidnapped the soldiers. If anyone lacks honor its Hezbollah and the shameless Arab nations who fund and supply it.
P.S. Your grammar is appalling

hear - uve been brainwashed by technique of the media. hezbullah and hamas cover in the back of civilians. those are cowardly terrorists who dont supply a crap about civilian lives. israel has warned many cases by pamphlets and indications and records proclaims for all civilians to leave everywhere the position hezbullah is lively reason they're going to attack. all of us who doesnt go away is of direction sending a very sparkling message as to the position their loyalties lie. so the media has performed its interest nicely. u, besides as many different ppl, imagine that israel likes killing electorate and they are attacking way out of share. nicely lets imagine about this. israel is a small united states which wasnt attacking all of us. squaddies get killed and abducted for no reason. israel needs their squaddies back so that they go on an offensive, attacking purely militia strongholds and hezbullah outposts as hostile to hezbullah which attacks haifa and different cities, that are literally not concentrated simply by militia technique, yet somewhat because of the particular undeniable reality that they could reason the most terror in those places. and lets not ignore, as i already pronounced, that those militia strongholds and workplaces of hezbullah are places which take place to be hidden in the back of the civilians. israel warns many cases and then fires. so who's amazingly at fault? its time to be worry-free with your self. U comprehend that Israel has performed not something incorrect. If u were a pacesetter of a rustic and three of ur squaddies were abducted, ought to u basically say "who cares, that's purely 3 squaddies"? of direction not. and plus, if israel didnt reply, it ought to keep on happening. thats why israel wont even evaluate a prisoner replace with those terrorists reason they comprehend that once they even make one deal (it is carefully rediculous - thousands of lebonise, a lot of which murdered possibility free jewish ppl, for 3 squaddies who've performed not something yet protect civilians) more effective squaddies receives abducted and terrorism will prevail. we ought to not supply into those ppl. not now, surely not!

Israel doesn't target civilians. Israel just wants 2 arrest and imprison the terrorists so that they can't kill ne1.

Did you see the movie Munich?
This fighting will never end, and as to who is the real terrorist? It depends on what side you are on - the Israelies don't think their side is composed of terrorists, and the Lebanese don't think their side is composed of terrorists.
The movie Munich spoke well of this type of debate.

they are always trying to take more land that others have a right to and if they are not satisfied with what they have made into the State of Israel then relocate.
