Default So just WHO targets and kills civilians??

Those of you who think Hezbollah just showed up 6 weeks ago are knowingly wrong. They've been a part (sometimes a bad part) of the landscape in the Middle East for a long time. And it's very much debatable which side took the first "go to war" actions.

For all of you generalizing Israeli casualties as the Arab targeting of civilians, here is a count of the dead:

Israel
Civilians 39
Soldiers 109
Total 148

Lebanon
Civilians 689
Fighters 102
Total 791

Interesting numbers.

For those wondering what the Israeli military thinks of the deal their politicians made, here's what Lt. Roy Shaposik of the Israeli Army had to say, "We didn't get anything out of this. I think this is the first time that Israel lost a war."

Just another way to view things other than the ultra pro-Israel/ Anti-Arab way of rationalization.
