Anyone who considers the murder of 37 children is/was an effort to stop Hezbollah is a total whackjob. Where exactly are the Hezbollah fighters, and/or their weaponry? All I see is 54 INNOCENT civilians dead.

July 28, 2006 | TYRE, SIDON and NABATIYA, South Lebanon -- The bombs came just as night fell, around 7 p.m. The locals knew that the 10-story apartment building had been the office, and possibly the residence, of Sheik Tawouk, the Hezbollah commander for the south, so they had moved their...

Here is a true terrorist apologist, attributing the murder of 400 INNOCENT CIVILIANS to anti-semitism and hatred for Jews.

This has been answered above.

Bunkets? There is only one idiot in this discussion, and its not me. The last volley of 150 rockets injured 31 people. How can they be injured if they were in a bunker? 400 civilian deaths in 14 days is very much in line with targetting civilians. That is at the rate of almost 30 civilians...

Does not target civilians?!? HA! Tissue paper factor, sewerage plant are military targets? Get a grip">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/5218106.stm</a> Your claim of Hezbollah's aim to kill civilians is ludicrous. They have fired almost 2000 rockets with 51 Israeli deaths, half...

All of the videos of suicide bombing combined will not equal the civilian deaths and civilian infrastructure damage the IDF has wrecked in the past week or so. It is quite idiotic to say that the "POLICY" states there is no intention to kill civilians when 400 civilians have been murdered...

And to think... Hezbollah is blamed for targetting civilian/civilian targets ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are plenty of other threads that you could have used for this. There was no need to start a new one :( Anandtech Moderator

Which is why I mention double standards and hypocrisy. What do you mean by deliberately targetting civilians? Something in the lines of bombing ambulances? Hospitals? Densely populated civilians areas of Beirut? How many non-civilians are present in here...

Then following your statement, Harvey's claim would be incorrect. Or if I read that wrong, Harvey is tryng to say that having a politcal agenda/ideology makes an individual a combatant? Apparently there is much dispute to the clarification of the term "civilian" in this context?

In 1988, Jordan ceded its claims to the West Bank to the Palestine Liberation Organization, as "the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people." Link The protestors got emotional. Almost everything they claimed was indeed true. The annexation of the land by Jordan was not...

That is an extension of my question...

Israel - Against. While I completely value the right of Israel to exist and its people to live in peace, the massive bombing of Beirut (which is far from south Lebanon) is in no way justified. Everyone forgets that military soldiers were taken. Not civilians. And the rocket attacks from...

As Israel has universal conscription, would every Israeli be not a member of IDF, excluding those under 18 ofcourse. Why are they counted as civilian deaths? They are trained for 3 years (men) or 21 months (women). That should make them a military target. Can someone clarify?

Excellent point. Lets also not forget the countless murders by Israel such as the 8 innocent dead on the beach before this violence broke out. Double standards and hypocrisy rife amongst people. Call both IDF and Hezbollah terrorist outfits or give both the right to fight for protection.
