The word disproportionate holds no meaning for the Israelis, as if it's within their rights to cause free flowing destruction and demolish an entire nation.
As the pounding of Lebanon at the hands of Israeli forces continues, the latest carnage claiming more than 60 civilian lives including 37 children has sent fresh shock waves around the world.…

the country of israel will never recover from this public relations fiasco, nor should they.
when you kill children and the elderly in the name of religion, you deserve everything you have coming to you.
you expect the right wingers christians to be eating this up and getting a hard on from it.
however, the democrats have become big wussies and afraid of the big bad isreal.

"when you kill children and the elderly in the name of religion, ..."
You mean like the suicide bombers of Israeli cafes and busses?

just like that biffle. i use to feel pity for those people in those cafes and busses. to me, they have the same right to live as the children in qana. perhaps those suicide bombers also made a "mistake".

Observing the devastation in Lebanon, it can be concluded that Israel targets anything that moves, anything that can move, anything that would help movement, and anything that can shelter what moves or what might move.
In other words, everything.
It's known as scorched earth.

Dean, if Israel did actaully target everything that moves, there'd be far more dead.
Beyond that, what do you propose Israel should do with an enemy that willingly puts Arab civilians at risk in order to strike at Israeli civilians?
You constantly judge Israel for its actions but never once do you acknowledge that it is Hezbollah's aggression that caused this round of fighitng in the first place, and that it has invited further retaliation at the expense of civilian casualties. You also fail to address the fact that Israel has warned people to evacuate areas occupied by Hezbollah before striking, and have not acknowledged that Hezbollah hides among civilians and possibly even keeps civilians from leaving the areas it is operating in. Do you see Hezbollah as some sort of underdog that can do no wrong, deserving of no criticism?
Many Americans romanticize the guerrilla and the freedom fighter, but would they apply their idealized view to Hezbollah if they realized it was behind an attack that killed 241 Marines in Beirut? That some of its agents tortured and then murdered a US Navy Sailor it held hostage?

The concern of Americans should be the interests of America and not Hizbollah or Israel.
We have been too involved with overthrowing governments in the Middle East and providing the bombs that kill innocent civilians by the hundreds.
Since WWII, the US has gotten itself involved in the Middle East far beyond its real interests
