They aren't just going to walk into the hague and hand over the keys to tehran or damascus. Sometimes war is necessary. Sometimes innocents die as a result. But if action was not taken, scores more innocents would continue to die in the future. in suicide bombings. in rocket attacks. in hostage takings.

I suspect the answer lies in forcing the UN to back up it's own resolutions, but again, I'm not a military tactician. The UN troops located in Southern Lebanon could be deployed to go to the source of the Hezbollah rockets and stop them from being fired. We could also freeze accounts and stop the funding of Hezbollah by a few wealthy people in Iran and Syria.

Not weapons storehouses, weapons manufacturing houses, ports where weapons can be delivered, roads where weapons can be transported. Because civillians die does not mean they are targeted. You know this, please stop lying.

Well if you are targeting a hospital that you know has people in it, aren't you targeting those people? If you're targeting an airport that you know is fillied with civilians, then aren't you targeting those civilians? I'm not lying at all. They are not hitting airports on accedent. They are not striking them at 3 am when there would be less people there. Have you asked yourself why over 150 lenabese have died, but only 24 Israelis have died since this began? It's simple: Israel is willing and able to destroy more because of their vastly superior military.
What amazes me is how you say: "and please stop saying israel is targeting civillians.", and then you go on to support that by saying that Hezbollah is targeting civilians. Again, we have this confusing logic that if one side is bad, then the other side is good. Both sides can and are killing civilians. Hazbollah is doing it deliberately, and Israel isn't doing anything to prevent their bombs killing civilians (
actively and passively killing citizens has the same result, no matter what the intent).
