30. Like I've said earlier,
One does not achieve peace through war, especially through the killing of innocent civilians. Israel has negotiated prisoner exchanges in the past with Hezbollah, why did they all the sudden feel the need to unleash the dogs of war now? All they are achieving with their current actions is to unite the Arab world behind Hezbollah and against Israel.

But yes, I do get the point of the article. It is another lame attempt to rationalize the killing of innocent men, women and children by the Israeli forces. Israel knows that Hezbollah uses shoot and scoot tactics, so why go in with the bombers and kill civilians when Israel already knows that their target has left the region? Is it to punish the civilians for not standing up to an armed force with nothing but their bare hands? Sorry, but that is morally reprehensible and a war crime.
