Re: Not cowards so much as sociopaths & criminals
Imo anyone who targets defenseless civilians is a coward no matter how you cut it.
Like the Israelis who blew up a civillian convoy.

Re: Not cowards so much as sociopaths & criminals
The Israelis don't TARGET civilians
Says who? The israelis? Not that I'm on Hezbollah's side but just cause Israel says they made a mistake doesn't mean that I believe them.

Re: Not cowards so much as sociopaths & criminals
The Israeli military said the area was a target because Hezbollah had used it to launch missiles,
Yes the Israeli military claims the civillian deaths were an accident, and I'm to believe them without question? Their current heavey handed bull in a china shop approach to the Hezbollah problem does not lead me to give them the benefit of doubt. They have some of the most capable, and experienced millitaries and intellegence services in the world and this is their strategy? They could have found a way to deal with Hezbollah without so many civillian casualties, this is just the new guy in charge wipping it out so everyone can see how big of a wang he has.

Re: on return fire.
So briefly, do or do not Israel's rockets have the ability to seek and pinpoint enemy launch targets? If not, please provide do
How about you provide the support that the rocket can seek out and pinpoint launch sites. Counter-battery radar does exist, but I know of no rocket that independently seeks out and "pinpoints" artillery sites.

Re: on return fire.
What I'm going by is retired colonels and generals whom Fox News frequently interviews; folks who should know. They have on occasion noted the difference in the hi tech rockets of Israel and of Hezbollah's relatively primitive rockets. They say stuff like Hezbollah launches the attack and runs like hell before the Israeli response comes back.
And where in there does it say that:
Israel's rockets have the ability to seek and pinpoint enemy launch targets
​
To clear up your misconception, counter-battery radar (which has been around for decades and isn't exactly hi-tech) can spot incoming rounds, determine their launch position (but not "pin-point") and send the co-ordinates to an artillery battery who will fire in repsonse all before the incoming round hits. This is not the same as:
Israel's rockets have the ability to seek and pinpoint enemy launch targets

Re: Not cowards so much as sociopaths & criminals
What would you do if you were a Jew in Israel?
Call for the resignation of my government

Re: Not cowards so much as sociopaths & criminals
Did you know that for giving away the piece of land for PEACe, Israeli Prime Minister was murdered?
Yes and the assassin was a fellow israeli jew. What's your point?
​
blah blah blah
You're misrepresenting me, nowhere did I say that Israel should roll over. My position is that their current course of action is unnecessarily heavy handed and instead of being aimed towards securing thier safety seems to be a blatant display of cock waving.

Edited by DrJones*, : No reason given.

Re: Media propaganda?
How many pictures of Israelis who have been hurt by Hezbollah attacks has anybody seen, compared to the pictures of Lebanese sufferers of Israel's?
Lebanese civillian deaths outnumber Israeli's by about 10 to 1, of course you're going to see more pictures of them than of Israelis.
