I doubt you would think getting your own home blown up was "trivial".

Uh...dude. Did you and I read the same article? The one I read is at the top of this thread. It said, in relevant part...

Boulos Abu Hamad and his family have been cleaning up the damage they say was left by Israeli troops who occupied their home for a night.

Their properties have only been moderately affected ...

“Their troops came and ruined the bedroom furniture. We threw out the clothes I bought for my sister’s wedding because they ruined them and sacked the drawers and cupboards. They left nothing intact. Even their dogs left mess in the house.”

Where do you get that their house was "blown up"? Now, I used the word "trivial" and of course such a judgement is subjective and relative. If at a time of peace a stranger came into my home and did the above things, I'd be irate. But this was a war. People were killed and whole villages were razed as inevitably happens in war. Yet these folks in this article are whining over having to clean up dog poop (possibly) and buy some new furniture and clothes. I call that trivial. Others may well disagree with me, but whatever you think, their house was not "blown up".

OK, late hit. I see that others said this above and the matter was cleared.
