That being said, I agree with the camp that says Israel isn't targetting civilians and all of the civilian casualties are collateral damage because Hezbollah operates in residential areas.
I'm not sure why people don't give Hezbollah more "credit". I mean... just because their weapons are relatively crude and have less ability to kill doesn't mean we should give them a free pass for trying to kill as many civilians as they can! They rained down 70 rockets on Nazareth today in the space of only one hour... that's over one per minute. They only managed to kill 3 people but I think people should be far more upset with Hezbollah than Israel.

I don't give anyone a free pass in this mess. They are all effed as far as I'm concerned. I give them Hezbollah boys full marks for being dumbass loons who started a fight that a bunch of innocent people are suffering through.
I also give Israel full marks for overreacting and beating the tar out of a foe that can't defend itself and, apparently, ignoring the fact that there is absolutely no doubt that this is going to come back and bite them in the ass. This disaster is one hell of a recruiting tool for the other side.
