Israel's legacy of death in Lebanon

Recommended Posts

So by your argument, how were Hizbollah wrong to target northern Israeli cities ? If those cities were at all being used by the Israeli military to transport troops or ammunition, they therefore become legitimate targets.

 

 

 

That basically means that when you're at war, nearly any part of the opponents territory becomes a fair target.

 

Inwhich case no-ones committed a crime!

 

It only applies if you are aiming at a particular target. The rockets fired by the terrorists weren't fired with enough accuracy to attack a definite logistical target so they must simply be weapons of terror fired by a terrorist organisaton. However, it is certainly the case that countries have bombed the cities of their enemies as an act of war. If a terrorist organisation does this then it can have no legitamacy.

Both sides are guilty of crimes of war and crimes against peace.

 

However, are they equally guilty or is one party more guilty than the other.

Crimes of war covers a broad spectrum of acts, and surely not all acts are equal.

Which again implies that all the area's of Lebanon which Israel attacked, including oil storage and energy facilities in general had been used by Hizbollah to launch missiles. Do you really believe this to be the case ???

 

Also, if the Hizbollah weapons aren't accurate then whats the logic of claiming that they were "targetting" civilians, whereas the Israeli's like to boast about the accuracy of their missiles, BUT claim that all the civilian deaths were "accidents" :rolleyes:

No, I think the intentions of the individuals on both sides were closely related. Punishment and Retribution. Both pretty repulsive, both sides throwing lives away in a futile political pishing contest.
