This is most unfortunate.
This is predictable.. what can the Vatican say? Go slaughter folks?
They said the right thing, they agreed Israel has a right to defend itself, but called on it to avoid killing civilians if possible.... That's basically the fundamental tenant of civilized warfare (yes I know oxymoron).
Hezbollah still is not officially the government of Lebanon... even though they basically control everything... son on Paper the Vatican and most diplomats must say Israel is behaving badly, even when they know Hezbollah runs much of Lebanon's government albeit behind the scenes.
