Israel has every right to defend itself from nations that harbor terror networks that are designed to attack innocent Israelis. Hezbollah made a mistake by taking a couple Israeli soldiers hostage and Lebanon made the mistake of housing Hezbollah and giving them a place in Lebanese politics. Israel is doing what they feel necessary to ensure the protection and prosperity of Jews living in Israel. It's rather difficult when you are a Jewish nation living in a hotbed of anti-semitism.

Israel is attacking key, strategic positions that will cripple Hezbollah. They aren't raping and pillaging the people of Lebanon. What they're basically doing is trying their best to attack areas in which Hezbollah is prevalent and blocking ports of entry (like airports and ship ports) to prevent nations like Iran and Syria from sending weapons to these terrorists.

Hezbollah and Hamas, both, have been responsible for not only Israeli deaths... but also the deaths of Americans (among others) over the years. Yet, here's the difference between Israel and those terror groups... Israel doesn't set out to kill as many innocent civilians as they possibly can... Hezbollah and Hamas have staged attacks that are designed to do exactly that. Major difference.

Another thing, Jews aren't killing people while chanting "God is great!" in Hebrew. Every filthy, Islamic terrorist out there is doing that... while they torture and behead (and dismember for that matter) their hostages.

War is terrible... but you know what's more terrible? Letting terrorist groups attack people without allowing people to defend themselves.
