See, here's the problem.
* Israel drops flyers saying "Get the Fuck Out."
* Some people leave, most stay. (As to why at least some stay, think about why people stay home in the face of hurricanes.)
* Israel bombs the shit out of Beirut's infrastructure, kills more people.
* Israel drops more flyers saying "No, really, Get the Fuck Out."
* Israel bombs every piece of infrastructure in Lebanon.
* People think about leaving but there's no infrastructure to get them the fuck out. Some people try to leave on the roads, and they get bombed. Reports suggest that those remaining in the territory are fucking terrified.
* You're left with the choice of leaving everything you have, trying to traverse bombed-out roads and, evidence suggests, getting bombed there, and heading to some place you've never been before, probably to live in a converted school or a tent or something for many months. Or you can stay home and try to tough it out.
* So, for making that choice, those who stay home die. And are told that because they lived among Lebanese who thought bad things, and failed to leave over the bombed out roads, they are less than an "innocent civilian," and share some intangible degree of culpability.
