don't be so sure. They might go away for a while but they will be back. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
I meant inept at killing Israeli civilians. Keep up.
And, if you want an explanation for the disproportionate number of Lebanese vs. Israeli civilian deaths, I believe this cartoonist nails it fairly succinctly:

Maybe if Russia gave Hezbollah a Mig29 squadron or 2 they would show a higher level of competence.
Seems to me that Hezbollah is winning. Lebanon has 1/20th the economy of Israel and this is a war of economic attriation.One thing's for sure. Hezbollah's attacks will end with their defeat.
Nah, Israel went 92 and 0 against the Syrian air force in the '67 war. I don't think Hezbollah would fair much better today.
Anyone who thinks Hezbollah is any closer to defeat today than they were 2 weeks ago probably also thinks Iraq is a strong democracy.
Is that the one they bombed?
But, if there's no sugar daddy (Iran & Syria) left to ship you weapons and if there is meaningful efforts by Lebanon to not allow them to become entrenched in Southern Lebanon they'd be impotent.
I don't think so.
A pox on both sides.
We wouldn't be where we are today if Hezbollah hadn't been spending the past six years arming themselves in preparation for just the provocation they provided a little over a week ago.
I don't get the argument that Israel is somehow doing something other than defending itself.
Are you talking about the demise of Syria and Iran???
that's another book my friend, and even Israel and US are afraid to open that book.
who is gonna stop them from being in southern lebanon, if they have the support from the people who live there?? Do you see the US having any control of Iraq?
Maybe the Israeli should send the civilians in fight to cut down the loses.
No i think civilian caualties come from bombing hospitals and residental areas.
If you're serious, google it. If not, I'll just let you know these posts aren't going to last long here.
Syria is under tremendous pressure, from Arab countries, to cut it's ties with both Iran and Hezbollah. If that's done -- how's Iran going to support a decimated Hezbollah in Lebanon?
Has any Arab country besides Saudi Arabia officially denounced Hezbollah's actions?
I must be misunderstanding this statement, because you aren't actually implying that rockets packed with ball bearings are intended to do anything other than kill as many people as possible.
Egypt and Jordan most prominently. But, there have also been condemnations from most of the Persian Gulf states as well.
ppl hiding in bunkers instead of being at work does affect economy.
But I think its aimed at psychologically hurting the Israelis
Do you have a link to those official denunciations? I couldn't find them.
So far, I've found this:
The governments of Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have not expressed support for Hezbollah. But they have condemned the Israeli assault on Lebanon.

So you guys actually think that firing rockets into civilian areas is not intended to kill as many people as possible. Now at least I know where your heads are at.
By the way, why does Hezbollah give a that the Jews aren't at work again?
They are meant to scare (terrorize) people, if they kill someone it's just and added bonus.
Fixed. I've never heard one of those organizations state that their mission is to scare every non-muslim.
