I mean people are saying hizballah fired missiles at civilians but the death tolls say a diferent thing. Over 70% of israelis killed are military compared to 10% lebanese killed involved in either the army or hizballah. Also they have found evidence of the use of cluster munitions and incidery (not sure if i spelt it right) bombs in Lebanon both being banned by a 1980 agreement. Alsowhy arent we blaming armerica for supplying israel but are blaming iran for supplying hizballah

Delayed Action! That is how most of the civilized perceives the procrastination of the Bush Administration in reacting immediately to Israel's bombing Lebanon. Our country needs the truth ; the rest of the world is not subordinate to the US, as the Bush Admin station and his actions have attempted. We are supplying Israel with magnesium bombs and other arms.
A sampling of our allies articles:
With hundreds of civilian casualties, hundreds of thousands of refugees and billions in damage to the Lebanese infrastructure, one commentator for the German broadcast network Deutsche Welle said "it is absurd and inhuman to constitute a new order in Lebanon based on this suffering and misery of innocent people."
"It's mainly civilians who are suffering from the continuing conflict in Lebanon between Israel and the Islamic Hezbollah movement," says Radio Netherlands.
At the beginning of this our Administration had tunnel vision; hopefully they will see the light before World War 111, because allies cannot, in good conscience, support us.

Not to even mention their current activities of firing rockets into population centers in the current conflict...they are also responsible for many other acts against not only the Israelis but against the United States as well.
"Hezbollah is believed by the United States and some other countries' intelligence agencies to have kidnapped and tortured to death U.S. Marine Colonel William R. Higgins and the CIA station chief in Beirut, William Francis Buckley, [72] and to have kidnapped around 30 other Westerners between 1982 and 1992, including U.S. journalist Terry Anderson, British journalist John McCarthy, the Archbishop of Canterbury's special envoy Terry Waite and Irish citizen Brian Keenan.[73] Hezbollah was accused by the US government of being responsible for the April 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut that killed 63; of being behind the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, a suicide truck bombing that killed 241 U.S. marines in their barracks in Beirut in October 1983; of bombing the replacement U.S. Embassy in East Beirut on September 20, 1984, killing 20 Lebanese and two U.S. soldiers; and of carrying out the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome. These accusations are denied by Hezbollah.[74]
The U.S. claims Hezbollah carried out two Argentine terrorist attacks in the early 1990s: the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing in Buenos Aires, killing 29 people, and an attack two years later on a Jewish community center there, killing 85.[75][76] Hezbollah denies these claims.[77][78]
On July 26, 1994, eight days after the community center bombing, the Israeli Embassy in London was car bombed by two Palestinians. United Kingdom, Israel and Argentina blamed Hezbollah for the attack.[79]"

In the case of Iraq the real terrorists are George W Bush and the entire U.S. Military. In the case of Lebanon the real terrorists are the israelis not just the military but all israelis. Since 1948 these people have been dogs in a manger all with the compliments of the United States of America.and its military

The difference the western governments present is one of intentionality. the Israeli forces do not intentionally target civillians.
Well the outcome is that more than ten times as many civillians are killed by Israel, than by Hezbollah, So I see both sides as equally evil. Hezbollah's intent is equally as evil as Israels' outcomes.
One civillian death is too many, after that it's just math.
So, in conclusion, BOTH sides are equally terrorists.
lenardz33, your argument, that civillians can be legitimate targets, only legitimises the terrorists argument that, you as a civilian, supporting your military and Governments actions against civilians in the middle east, makes you and other civillians legitimate targets.
you are making the terrorist's argument for them.
Civillians are NEVER a legitimate target, and violence will never defeat the idiology of terrorism.

Well...lets see...why did this whole thing start? Oh yeah....Hezbollah kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers... Hmm...so Hezbollah started all this...and let's see...OK...Israel is supposed to hit military officials only. Well, geez...how do they do that, when the cowards are wearing civilian clothing?!! Much like the cowards in Iraq?! How do differentiate a civilian and a terrorist? Better safe than sorry...consider all targets hostile than get killed. So...as far as I'm concerned...Israel is hitting military targets. Until terrorist find a uniform for them to use...all civilians are to be considered hostile. Sorry...just the way it is.

"but the death tolls say a diferent thing"
But reality says that Hezballoh is firing hundreds of rockets into northern izreal every day. Izreal has the complete right to do what they are doing. They should stop the bombings and move to more ground forces because it would spare more civilian casualties and would be more effective against the enemy.

Hezbollah is the terrorist. They kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers and killed them. Israel had done all it was supposed to do by removing troops from Lebanon. It is Lebanon's fault that Hezbollah has infested their land.
Anyhow, you should really take some time off and learn how to utilize the spell check feature.
