"What does that accomplish?"

What did fire bombing Dresden and Tokyo accomplish, besides undermining the moral of the civilians who support the military?

"What I am just pounding the keyboard."

What does that mean in English?

I don't favor mass civilian slaughter as an attempt to reduce morale, and in fact it does not work; it enhances morale. It is also immoral. Count me out. I don't favor Israel sinking to the moral level of the criminal gangs who seek to destroy it.

You forget that the majority of the Lebanese populace hates Hezbollah as much as the Israelis.

It's only about 40% of the population that backs Hezbollah. You want to punish 60% of the population for the actions of the other 40%?
