Their "not trying to kill civilians" gameplan is killing a hell of a lot more civilians than Hezbollah's "trying to kill civilians" gameplan. Maybe the Israeli's should try a little harder, because I don't know if I'm convinced, and I pretty sure the people who are actually affected by this in Lebanon aren't convinced.

Maybe you should look at the firepower at each side, and realize that Israel has the capability to do more damage then Hezbollah.

You seem like a worldly guy, so riddle me this: if a fighter plane fired a missile into your house and wiped out your whole family while you were out buying mints, would it make you feel better if they said "whoops, we thought someone else was in there"?

If I knew my area was a hotbed for terrorism, and KNEW that a certain nation would be targetting that area, I'd get the hell out.
No it wouldn't make me feel better, and I would probably get mad at whoever did it, but I don't live in a nation that supports and harbours terrorist groups, so you and I aren't in that position, are we?

Me, I don't think it would make me feel better. Political leaders on the other side of the world saying "well, they didn't mean to do it, so they are justified in doing it" certainly wouldn't help.

Still, collateral damage has been part of EVERY war since the start of mankind. No matter HOW good your technology is, innocent people will ALWAYS die.
Israel is not intending to kill innocent Lebanese civilians, while Hebollah is, yet fails miserably with every attack.
That to me is the deciding factor.

I think that I just might want some revenge after something like that happened, and maybe I'd start to hang out with some people of a like mind.

You trying to make me feel sympathetic for their cause?
