I'm not advocating it, just realize that once you go to war you kill a certain amount of civilians and legally that's ok
Morally? of course it's not ok, should Hamas and Hezbollah immediately surrender to prevent the deaths of civilians, I'm guessing you would disagree with that

So if some suicide bombers walk into a Tel Aviv mall tomorrow and blow up a load of civilians in your mind that's all fine and dandy as they're legitimate targets?
You thing the Provos, Argies, or Iraqis would be justified indiscriminately bombing UK shopping centres?
