If you cant see the diffference between the IRA and Hizbollah with regards the nature of their goals (hizbollah seeks the eradication of the Jewish state), their methods (hizbollah uses long range rockets and suicide bombs) and their ideology (Hizbollah is a fanatical Islamist organisation) and their resources (Hizbollah is armed to the teeth as I've already pointed out) then you never will.
Israel is a democratic country with every right to defend its citizens from attack. If this means going across the border and smashing a repulsive Islamist militia then even better.
Note that Hizbollah started this war, not the Israelis. They've bitten off more than they can chew, thankfully.
Whilst regrettable, civilian casualties are always the product of war, even just war.
The IRA sought the destruction of the Northern Irish state, and they used bombs and guns and were also fairly fanatical. If you can't see the similarities then I guess you're an idiot.
Israel are delibetatly targetting civilians due to the actions of a minority. This is unacceptable.
How simplistic can you get?
They are not deliberately targeting civilians. They are destroiying the Hizbollah militia. How often does this need to be said?
Just bringing it down to your level.
They are deliberatly targetting civilians. They have a long history of doing so. You blind arse.
LOL!
Try watcing the news for once.

The IRA sought destruction of the NI state. They attacked the British mainland (inculding No.10) with bombs, mortors and guns. They counted civilians as legitamte targets, they were fanatical Catholics, and they were funded heavilly by groups in the US.
They're not so very different you know.
Events like bloody sunday happen on a regular basis in Israel.
Please don't insult our intelligence by suggesting otherwise.
Do you want to pull out some figures for the 2,000lb laser guided bombs or the Hellfire missiles Israel kindly uses on Palestinians and Lebanese innocent civilians? They'd piss on the capabilities and destructive power of the Hezbollah rockets many times over.
Says he who prides himself on remaining misinformed and wrong with every post he makes! lol.
Intractable ignorance of both the long-running reality and agenda of the present acts of Israeli aggression (against a sovereign and democratic state), utter lack of consistent application of principle, the audacity to call any others "simplistic" whilst demonstrating only the ability to regurgitate mainstream pro-Israeli whitewashed propaganda, and a further lack of any knowledge of the true particularist and racist two-tiered society he (and all too many other tv-fed apologists) calls "a democratic state" (i.e. Israel) are once again blatantly on display for the amusement or outright pity of those who bother educating themselves.
Having said that, I think they've been wanting to kick the sh*t out of each other for a while now, a war is just a good excuse. Imagine there's no countries...
I think it's daft to defend either Israel or Hizbollah or Hamas. They're all out for blood, and I think there should be no 'acceptable' killing, it's killing, plain and simple. Why don't they read up on a chap called Ghandi?
