C'mon dude. Even Israel has admitted that was a 'mistaken' bombing. And let's face it, if Christian's like the crews of those ambulances
were helping Hezbollah it would just show exactly how badly Israel has fucked up its response.

Lebanon and the UN for six years was supposed to do something about Hezbollah and they did nothing as usual.
Lebanon won't/can't do anything about Hezbollah, for reasons already stated. Your citing of the UN is both laughable and ignorant. If you want UN resolutions honoured there are more than a few which Israel is ignoring.

And if your enemy has more fire power than you and you continue to attack,it doesn't give you ethical points for using inaccurate shoddy missiles.
There's nothing particularly 'ethical' in a destroying apartment buildings which may have Hezbollah supporters in them, when it is likely that the vast majority of those living there are ordinary civilians, any more than claiming to fire katyushas at military targets, or claiming that all adult Israelis are legitimate targets because of potential conscription would make that 'ethical'.

Word. And anyway, it appears that the UN have joined women and children as enemies of Israel now: (

"Deliberately targeted" according to Kofi Annan, but he's leaping to conclusions there surely; maybe their laser-guiding systems are just
really shit. Or maybe the United Nations should just give up on its questionable tactic of using Hezbollah warriors as human shields! :joke:

That the excuse he gave when questioned about Food-for-Oil?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that shelling a position 14 times before bombing it and then bombing it again when they're trying to search for survivors just might be deliberate.

I'm re-posting the link posted above:

because I was too slow, and also for the benefit of those who ignore some of the more engaged persons here.
Seriously, this should open your eyes if you still think Israel is "defending itself". Just for once, forget your own feelings and look at what they are doing. Certainly Israel has a great need to defend itself against the UN observers. These observers are what might bring the western world up against them, so they are very dangerous.
I'd suggest we call the Hezbolla a terrorist organisation and Israel a terrorist governement.

Sorry, I don't understand your post. Please explain.

The thing is the Israelis are being very heavy handed. This recent UN thing is pretty bad and it smacks of someone messing up. But there is no need to be so sarcastic about it tungsten, you know the likely explaination. Regardless, the terror groups know, and know well, that the retaliation will be harsh and although it seems unfair in many ways it's the only thing you can do. There is no point in tit for tat, you have to reply with a whallop of these dumbos think they've won or something.
