Doesn't Israel operate over-flights setting off sonic booms into Lebanese airspace and isn't this a violation of international law? And aren't these sonic booms meant to terrorize the population of Lebanon? So, how can you say that Hezbollah wasn't provoked? If Israel invaded their airspace with the intent to terrorize the civilian population then surely they can respond can't they?
I don't see what the big deal is with expecting democratic states to adhere to a certain standard that other non-states may not. Isn't that something that goes hand in hand with being a democracy?
