The Hizbollah rockets were in response to the Israeli offensive. Don't rewrite history to suit your argument. Sure, Israel has a right to defend itself, and, likewise, the Lebanese people have a right to defend themselves from the bombs falling from overhead. Hizbollah may have started this particular engagement, but Israel lost the moral high ground when it began destroying Lebanon's infrastructure without any care to the cost of civilian life.

As to the events between Isreal and Lebanon, imagine if the KKK had a militia armed with 10,000 bombs and they began bombing Mexico out of hatred for Catholic people. Would not American citizens demand that the American government disarm and dismantle the KKK? What the international community fails to understand is that not only are the people of Isreal held hostage by a radical group who believes in a destructive ideology but so are the sane people of Lebanon.

The Israelis have EVERY RIGHT to defend their own borders against foreign attackers. For decades they have endured the cowardly attacks of terrorists. They have turned the other cheek time and time again against these attacks. They have offered the olive branch many times and been spurned by radical Muslims. To accuse them of any wrongdoing because they have finally retaliated against these acts of aggression is pure lunacy.
