I support Israel in its efforts to maintain its safety. I firmly believe there must be an Israel. But shelling an entire village, or suggesting that it is morally right to kill Arabs because they are Arabs and Arabs are the enemy? That's just wrong. Even if some of those Arabs believe that all of Israel must be chased into the sea.

And the alternative you propose? That is what I am waiting to hear.
Or is it, "Israel should quietly kill off every Hezbollah guerilla, through silent assassin-type operations"? That's where you were last week, and it was pretty damned silly.
Once again -- when a violent and aggressive military force intentionally takes refuge among civilians, the blood that is spilled is on the hands of that military force -- not on the hands of the victim, who must choose between killing the human shields or letting its own civilian populace die.
