I agree with this logic; however, the missing part here is that while the gun may be aimed out of the neighbor's window, there is a remote control on that gun... and it's being operated from a house a few streets over. To go and annihilate your neighbor's house (where the majority of the residents have no means of controlling the gunfire) instead of training your crosshairs on the remote operators a few streets away... is a fucking waste of time, resources, and human beings.

I'll ask it again: why doesn't anyone call for mighty Israel to bomb Hezbollah's hideouts in Syria? Iran? Why does Lebanon "deserve" to receive ALL of the punishment, when clearly, its own citizens would love to punish Hezbollah too, if at all possible?
