Quote from dddooo:
The point is that Israel did not violate the convention, Hezbollah did and Hezbollah is therefore ultimately responsible for the consequences of this violation (which includes the death of those children)
LOL, the court that could not even convict Molosevic, I am sure the Israelis are terrified. Seriously though I have no doubt that in this hypothetical trial Israel would be proven innocent beyond a reasonable doubt (granted the court is unbiased which is not always the case). And I actually agree they should stand trial to clear their names, right after the trial of Hezbollah and the Lebanese government, the trial of Hamas and Palestinian Authority, the trial of Sudanese authorities and quite a few other trials.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Of course given Israel's innocence, they will have no problem facing potential war crimes trials at the Hague...

I see, mistakes are not violations, therefore they are okay...
As I said, the Israeli army makes a lot of mistakes, sort of like the US army in Iraq...

Quote from claywilk:
Human Beings ( such as Israelis and Americans) deeply regret the deaths of women and children. Animals (such as nearly all Muslims) on the other hand have virtually no value for women and children. The only reason they try to trap us into killing women and children is because they know it will hurt us within our own electorates as it will deeply upset the ones in our societies who are blinded by their emotional reaction to dead children. The muslim swine are not only indifferent about women and children, THEY ACTUALLY CAUSE IT IN ORDER TO USE THE GOODNESS OF OUR SOCIETIES AGAINST US. The world will never be at peace as long as these satanic bastards are allowed to breathe. Islam needs to cease to exist as a political or social reality.

I am glad we agree that it's not OK and that it's Hezbolah's and their parents' fault
Strawman.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
We may agree that Israel is in victim mode, where they rationalize the killing of children as okay, and necessary, and not their fault...
One would think, from the rationalizations, that Israel is actually being forced to kill these innocent children...which is clearly not the case.
This mistake would not have happened if the government of Lebanon and the Lebanese people (including the parents) did what they were obligated to do, disarm Hezbollah and stop Hezbollah attacks on Israel. They did not do it, they actually voted for Hezbollah, they have no one to blame.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Shoot, how can it be the fault of the parents, even Israel says it was a "mistake" which is an admission of blame, but a blame that should be forgiven.
