5 Good Reasons Not To Bomb Israel?

[superman321]

As i said, Israel is in a terrible situation and I sympathise. I wasn't simply attacking them. Still, my questions stands - what were these people meant to do? It is all well and good to give warning but it is no help unless these people actually have somewhere safe to go. Further, as you said, Israel in its attacks have just set lebanon back 20 years in a humantitarian sense. I realise I'm merely posing problems and not giving solutions, but that is what these military people are trained to do and it just seems that there were possibly a number of ways this operation could have been constructed to deal somewhat less civilian damage.

Also, in this situation no news source is completely unbiased, whether it be CNN, BBC, or that newspaper that you linked to (I had a look at it). They all somewhat push an opinion, however minutely and present the 'facts' in somewhat differing lights. It just the way media works, because it is dealing with an issue on which nobody doesn't have an opinion.

Also, while I definately don't want to get into a discussion on the creation of Israel - just remember that the historical context which you mentioned works both ways and therefore can easily be argued such. Although this point more applies in terms of the Palestinians and not Hezbollah (who as I said before I question whether their purported affinity with Palestinian people is real).
