Israel is bombing civilian homes only because that is where the terrorists are hiding . When intelligence comes in that civilians are hiding and aiding Hizzbolla in their home they must strike there.
Usually there is no way for the public or media kooks to tell the difference between civilian and hizzbolla...they don't wear uniforms, etc. Just thought you ought to know.

Israel would never knowingly bomb innocent civilians.Unlike their EVIL enemy.
All Israel wants is to live in peace with it's neighbours.

Israel's defence forces were condemned for systematically and deliberately targeting civilians in Lebanon, acts which the respected New York organisation Human Rights Watch described as "serious violations of international law" or war crimes.
The number of Lebanese killed in the 23-day conflict is now close to 900, the vast majority of them civilians, and a quarter of Lebanon's population is in flight. Although the Israeli government claims it is taking all possible measures to minimise civilian harm, Human Rights Watch said their detailed investigations revealed "a systematic failure by the Israeli Defence Forces to distinguish between combatants and civilians". The 50-page report flatly accuses Israeli forces of launching artillery and air attacks "with limited or dubious military gain but excessive civilian cost".
"In HUNDREDS of attacks, Israeli forces struck an area with no apparently military target," the report states.
In a particularly damning section it concludes that "in some cases, the timing and intensity of the attack, the absence of a military target, as well as return strikes against rescuers, suggest that Israeli forces deliberately targeted civilians".
In its central allegation, Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of violating one of the most fundamental tenets of the laws of war: the duty to carry out attacks only on military targets
There is no specific international ban on cluster bombs, but their use in or near civilians is considered an indiscriminate attack, and therefore a war crime, because they cannot be directed in a way that distinguishes between military and civilian targets.
The report examines the air strike on Qana last Saturday, which sparked international outrage and intensified calls for a ceasefire. Human Rights Watch reveals that 28 people died in the attack rather than the 54 originally reported by Lebanese rescue workers. The report details how Israeli warplanes attacked a three-storey building in which 63 members of two extended families were sheltering. At least 22 people are now known to have escaped and 13 remain unaccounted for, presumably buried under the rubble.

Gary, if that were so, I'd be with you and I shall consider it since I wish it were true. I look very hard for evidence that supports this becuase I really don't want to believe that they are just behaving as they have systematically done through out history. Including Biblical times.
No, I have to call it like I see it. Sorry.

There are two things in this world, love and fear.
Fear of this or that estranges people and it actually is irrelevant who gets killed. Its all people at the end of the day.
Lose the fear and learn to love and then the bombs or rockets become irrelevant and so does who is right or wrong.

Justify as you may, I still call it genocide. Deep down you know Lebanese civilians are targeted on purpose. Israel's human rights record speaks for itself.

Yes but that doesn't matter. The UN is openly anti-Semitic and nothing you can say or do will change that. Israel is going to be the bad guy here no matter what.
