Scroll about half way down and see the numbers:

95 Israelis dead, only 35 of them civilians.
716 Lebanese dead, almost all civilians...

You do the math.

I don't know why they didn't put it in there, but I was watching CNN last night (or Saturday) and the reporter said something like 700 civilians had been killed.

That's almost a 100:1 ration civilians to Hezbollah.  Further proof that Israel is committing genocide.
So again I ask.....

You wont get an answer from anti-Israelis. Why? Because those are tough questions to answer. They'll try to find a link but it wont be a legitimate source. Thats why they wont answer your questions. They cant.

lebanon has been under a mandate for years to root out hezbollah, and they have chosen not to, not surprising since the hezzies run the country, Lebanon's allowance of hezbollah operations amounts to their support of it, if israel did want to actually take control of lebanon instead of rooting out the hezzies they would be perfectly justified in doing so, I myself would not be able to show such restraint. as for how they go about finding their targets, they use surveillance as shown in one of lisik's previous links to watch where the launchers go after firing, and no doubt have surveillance on the ground, again, why are yo blaming israel for the hezbollah practice of hiding behind civillian shields?

Whats going to happen when the peace keepers arrive? What is going to happen when hezbollah fires on them?What are all you pro-hezzies going to say when the peace keepers kill civilian Lebanese when they return fire? Will they be committing genocide also?

Because HM1{N} simply has no idea what he's talking about. He's running on pure emotion. "ZOMG ISREAL MURDERS CIVILIANS LIEK HITLER!111!!".

Since you obviously have an extremely skewed perception of the situation, allow me to word this as eloquently as possible. Isreal is retaliating against terrorism. Lebanon harbors terrorists that attack Isreal. The alternative would be to sit back and do nothing, while their country gets routinely attacked by missiles and suicide bombers, and their citizens kidnapped. The entire region has been hostile towards Isreal throughout history, and just recently the president of Iran has proclaimed its annihilation.

Quoted for more irony. Isreal is fighting an enemy that hides behind its own civilians. They launch rockets from civilian neighborhoods, that is why civilian towns are being destroyed. One could attribute the majority of civilian casualties in this conflict to the cowardice of Hezbollah. Isreal is not directly targeting nor eterminating the civilian population.
I pointed this out to him earlier, but it's like it goes in one ear and out the other. No matter what you tell him, what valid points you bring up, you just get a spew of emotion from him backed up by nothing.

I know really!!! It's like I could say "Hitler killed millions of Jews in concentration camps" and HM1{N} would respond with "No, the Jews killed millions of Nazis in concentration camps". It's like he just takes a fact and magically reverses it and uses it as his argument. He HAS to be trolling (takes one to know one).

Read this sentence 100 times so you can comprehend it, I'm surprised you don't, because you wrote it:  this is what Israel has done for 60 years in the Middle-East...

Kidnapping 2 soldiers does not justify killing 700+ civilians with glee...or do I need to post pictures of Israeli soldiers "trophy posing" with their kills?

And if Hezbollah could kill 100,000 Israeli civilians, they would. Are you seriously this bassackwards?

Edit: and not only with glee, they would drag their bodies through the streets chanting "God is Great!!" Jesus titty fucking christ this is retarded. Let me spell it out a little more clear for you.

HEZBOLLAH TARGETS ISREALI CIVILIANS. THEY WOULD KILL THEM ALL IF THEY HAD THE MEANS.

You can't trust a country that launches offensive missle strikes close to civilian populated areas, i.e. hositals, schools, religious buildings.  When retaliatory strikes were made, they were aimed at the places the offesive rockets came from, thus destroying schools, hospitals and killing innocents.  (thanks for using civilian shields)

Honestly, it's like a propaganda echo chamber in here.   I have to admit, I can't understand why some of you would work so hard at spamming the forum with the exact same one-sided shit anybody can get just by turning on their TV.  Is that how you conceive of "Debate and Serious Talk"?

Here's something logical to chew on:  The primary focus of pro-Israel hasbara has, for at least the last twenty years, been the exact same country which stands virtually alone in the world in supporting everything they do, carte blanche.  Is this a coincidence?  I can assure you it's not.

I happen to know for a fact that Americans are not evil or stupid people.  But I also happen to know the American media reports anything to do with Israel in a uniquely one-sided manner.  Even news in Israel itself is less biased, and that's a fact.

There's no need for anybody to defend their country's media, out of a misguided sense of loyalty.  It is what it is.  Look at what people from all over the world are saying.  Ask yourself, is it possible, might it just be even faintly plausible, that there is more than one side to this story?

You're right about the uniform but they should try to avoid civilian deaths by any means unless they make south Lebanon a free fire zone and blow up everything that moves.

And what about the patriot anti-missile thing, does it work ???

And just for argument sake, why shouldn't Israel, (or any other nation for that matter), target civilians? Hezbollah does... as well as all the other terrorist organizations. Why does "the civilized world" have to have it's hands tied behind their backs when there are no rules, only Allah's virgins, for the militants. And you all of these people try to defend these actions. If we could open our can of whoop-ass, we'd pwn anyone, anywhere. It'd be game over for the arab nations.

And yeah, I bet the patriots work pretty good.

Okay, let me get this straight, you think an outnumbered group of middle easter states that do not always agree are defeating North America and the whole of Europe? Almost all the nations on both those continents are "free" nations.

Besides, the US has veto power over anything that matter. The security counsel has the power to intervene, the rest is just the UN playing the man in the corner that politely protests as his friend is beaten to a pulp. Israel doesn't listen to the UN, but they will listen to UN guns, which the US can handily veto for them.

The UN is in no way biased against Israel, if anything, it is biased towards them.
