the war in lebanon. Israel has killed MORE than 10 times as many civilians as Hizbollah (50ish Hizbollah and 600ish civilians). That is not collateral damage. It appears that Hizbollah are collateral damage in a war against Lebanon. Can someone PLEASE justify this war without saying "they were hiding Hizbollah" - there have never been Hizbollah in the Christian part of Lebanon (who support{ed} Israel and would have driven Hizbollah out), yet they were bombed.

Hm...last time i checked Israel isnt the one who vowed to wipe off Lebanon from the face of the earth. Last time i checked they werent straping bombs to themselves and killing innocent people in busy street corners. Last time i checked Hezbollah was aiming at anything and everything. Last time i checked Israel was aiming for Hezbollah strongholds. Does Hezbollah handout flyers and tell people to leave and the people rip those flyers up??
Unbelievable how stupid some people are.

You are only counting the deaths since Israel began DEFENDING THEMSELVES. Go back and get a count of all the deaths in Israel over the last years from suicide bombers etc.
Hizbollah has vowed to not stop until Israel no longer exists.
Furthermore there would not be so many civilian casualties if Hizbollah were open enough to stand up and fight. Instead they hide behind women and children. They will not band together and fight as real men. Terrorists are cowards as we can see from their actions. They do not have the convictions to openly confront who they consider their enemy.

Lebanon has no military to speak of. They are controlled militarily, and politically by the Hezbo's. I'd be interested to know where you get your info about the number of deaths. Even if the numbers are right. What about the deaths of Israeli civilians in this war, and in uncountable suicide attacks over the yrs. The Hezbo's have done a great job at making the Israeli military look like they have targeted unarmed civilians, and swaying public opinion (like yours) by hiding in civilians homes. I know you didn't want to hear that excuse, and it isn't an excuse, it's the reason. "WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THEM OUT"-----how can you say that? Were they attempting to drive them out. You must have some very soft dirt in your area cause you've done a great job at burying your head very deep.

And Israel has said that they want to handle the Palestinians like America handled the Native Americans.....wipe them out and steal their land.
