I back Israel's right to self-defense. At the same time, the civilian toll is horrible.

At the same time, the civilian toll is horrible.
Very true, however, you must remember that the cowards they are fighting deliberately hide behind women, children, and civilians.

Their loss is very regrettable but the blame sits squarely upon their enemy.

Cordially,

Please show us the difference between a "civilian" and Hezbollah. This a a war of tribes, cults, religious beliefs, social caste, not of governments. The Lebanese government has as much control over Muslems as the FBI has over the Crips, the Bloods, and MS-13.l

The Islamic cults have been targeting civilians in restaurants, markets, buses, trains, airplanes, schools and nightclubs for decades, and they do with impunity.

To speak of civilian tolls when a nation fights back is telling.

Israel's response is totally disproportionate.

Israel with a population of only six million should respond proportionally to the one billion muslims aligned against them, they should be killing at least 150 muslim civilians for every Israeli civilian who has been killed. And since muslims are having three times as many children as the Israelis, they should be killing at least 450 muslim children for every Israeli child who has been killed.

Not only are the mooslim cowards fighting behind women and children, but they view all Israelis (men, women and children) as potential combatants (using the excuse of compulsory and reserve military service), and they have shown no mercy in attacking them in their terrorist attacks.

The mooselies have been at war with Israel and the rest of the infidels for decades - some will logically argue that this war has lasted centuries. Civilians get caught in the crossfire, especially when they are being used by combatants as human shields.

War is hell. We do our best, like no other country has ever done in all of human history, to minumize the number of civilian casualties. However, civilans in war zones are still going to be at risk. What the muzzies do with their civilians is criminal. When you hear of arab civilian casualties, it is the fault of the mooselims intentional failure to evacuate them from the war zone.

"At the same time, the civilian toll is horrible."

Not when 90%+ support the total destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the population.
Then there are no civilians, just enemies of both sexes and all ages.

"At the same time, the civilian toll is horrible."

Yes, it is. But remember what it took to end World War II -- that was far worse.

Screw the "civilians". in this conflict there are no muslim "civilians".

As far as the "children" go, as Tom Quick, Avenger of the Delaware said, "from nits come lice".

[gogeo]

The civilian toll is always terrible, especially when one side hides among civilians. The Law of War says it's the responsibility of those who use civilians as shields.

[TomasUSMC]

the civilian toll is horrible.

WHAT horrible toll?

Are there 100,000 or 10,000 dead - 5000, 2000?

Islamic Countries are voting for terror through democratic elections, now they should reap what they sow.
