UK Minister condemns Israeli action

xtoranto.... what did the guy say about the hez-ebola firing rockets at nothing but civilian targets in Israel?

Surely, he would condem that even more strongly?

nashwan.... A trifle bit missleading aren't you?    The jews are targeting hez-ebola centers and rocket launchers...  the ebolas happen to be using civilians as sheilds and are firing hundreds of rockets into nothing but civilian targets.

There are many many military only jewish targets for the ebloas to shoot at....  Why not take the high ground here and just target them?   You yourself said that they had that ability.

Soo.... by your logic.... The jews are targeting the ebola but hitting civilians because they are indestiguishable but.... the ebola, who have many many miltitary targets to choose from.... are targeting civilians instead?

Who are the bad guys here?  the guys trying to take out rocket launchers or the guys hiding the rocket launchers in civilian buildings and then using them to target nothing but civilians when they could just as easily target military instalations?

Both sides are doing both. Hezbollah is firing rockets at Israeli cities, but also fighting Israeli troops. The latest death toll I saw reported by the Israeli government is 17 civilians and 20 soldiers dead, so Hezbollah is actually killing more Israeli soldiers than civilians.

The Israelis are bombing Hezbollah, but also civilian targets in Lebanon, to try to get the Lebanese population to rein in Hezbollah. In that manner, there is little to choose between the sides, both are putting pressure on the opponents civilians to try to win the war. Israel's strikes are by and large more accurate, but they are carrying out far more of them, and have killed far more Lebanese civilians.

In that example the bad guys are obvious. But it's a lot harder to call the fighter pilot blowing up civilian infrastructure to pressurise the civilian population, who kills a few civilians with his "precision" strike, a good guy.
