What? Where did you hear that?
If you've heard from any wacko out there that Israel is just wrong because they have a higher civilian kill amount than lebanon. Don't fall for that hunk of baloney! First of all they don't take into account the fact that Hezbollah (who has been occupying Lebanon for long enough) has been terrorizing and killing Israel's civilians for longer than this has been going on.
Second, the group Hezbollah is one of these terrorist groups, what these terrorist groups do is make war and when threatened turn into a civilian faster than a chameleon. I'm betting that a certain (though I don't know how much) amount of this figure of how many Lebanese civilians have died were part of Hezbollah and were mistakenly labeled as innocents. Thirdly I want to point out that currently Israel has ordered all civilians in southern Lebanon to evacuate by using radio broadcasts and even, get this, text messages to lebanese officials.
In other news Israel has said that if a full-scale ground invasion of Lebanon is necessary then it will be done. Some people think that it's very likely that Israel will invade.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah
shrugged off concerns of a stepped-up Israeli onslaught, vowing never
to release two Israeli soldiers captured by his guerrillas even "if the
whole universe comes (against us)." He said they would be freed only as
part of a prisoner exchange brokered through indirect negotiations.
(Article from Forbes)
I can't wait to see what he thinks once his colleagues start dying like flies in the face of the Israeli onslaught. If he doesn't die immediately in an air raid or if the world powers decide to interfere and stifle Israel again.
