my only question for right now is why didn't the ppl leave earlier? if i'm correct about this the ppl should have known a while back that they were going to be in trouble. Dear God, i want to pray for the innocent children in this misunderstanding. Please guide their souls to Heaven and help the families and the IDF as well Lord for i'm sure all are in mourning of this. Please Lord help the IDF to conclude this war in short time and may you watch over the captured Israeli soldiers still and their families, in Thy name we ask Amen.

Wow, I don't spend a whole lot of time here, but it is readily apparent who the players are.

From the posted "source":

"Compared with the approach used by the Russian military in the Chechen capital of Grozny, or even with the American campaign that flattened the Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004, this bombing campaign is more restrained, some experts said.

"If you really wanted to go after cities and civilians the casualties would be infinitely higher than they are now, by several magnitudes," said Eliot Cohen, a professor at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, who directed the Air Force's study of air power in the 1991 Gulf War."

Now, it becomes obvious that whatsoever quotes one wishes to post, whatsoever predispostion one has internalized concerning events in the Middle East, THAT predisposition determines the focus of one's argument.

To condemn Israel in this current situation of war in the ME is to support the reign of terror unleashed upon it over the years. Any voice that cries "Massacre" on the report of the killing of civilians by Israel must cry "Massacre" at the tactics of Israels enemies over the past decades. The argument in this thread is as the argument in like threads here, it simply does not calculate in the logical mind.

The only thing that shocks me more then Israel's war crimes is people's tragically lame attempts at justifying Kills-raels.....opps i mean Israel war crimes.

Can you imagine if someone told the ADL "My only question for you is why in 1939 did the Jews in poland not leave earlier ?"

i honestly feel sad for people like Snazuolu.

What i am surprised about is the fact that there is a war crime. Its war, do you really think that war is supposed to be pretty?? its war and its bloody, and its horrible and to sit here and type that ANYONE should be tried for war crimes is pretty much admitting that you think war should always happen, jsut so long as only 1 or 2 ppl die a day.

I know this is a difficult concept to swallow, but anti-Israel is not the same thing as anti-Jewish. I know a lot of Jews, I grew up with Jews as my first friends, and I like them just fine. My opposition to Israeli policy has nothing to do with any ill-feeling towards Jews, and everything to do with Israel's bloodstained foreign policy, not to mention their propensity for dragging my own country into their wars.

Hatred knows no boundaries for some. Anti Jewish IS the same thing as anti Israel to some. I myself am aware that there are Jews in many different nations but i also realize that Israel is the home of the Jews. Israel is the land that was promised to them. I acknowledge that God chose the Jews and that Israel was to be their land. I also acknowledge that I believe that Jesus died for my sins and will have ever lasting life.

I don't know enough about the history of these conflicts but it's hard for me to look at the numbers and say poor israel needs to defend itself it's doing way more than defending itself. On MSN they say 477 lebenon civilians killed to 19 israel civilians who are the terrorists again?

so you're a numbers kinda person?? is numbers what dictates who is a terrorist?? does numbers really mean anything to a war?? it doesn't matter if everyone dies, if no solution is reached..numbers are NOT important in a war. human life is what matters most in a war

today, lebanon announced they have endured more than 900 deaths. that 400 count was from several days ago if not a week ago.
