"to see if it was generally thought that the heavy handed Israeli actions in Gaza (and it got extended to the Lebanon) and their effect on non-Hamas and non-Hezbollah were justified. There seem to be three or four together from Canada (I think Ham is from Canada) and the USA who think so. Everyone else (or pretty much so) seems to think not. "

Point one.

SOme of us do not consider that the Israeli response is heavy-handed- In fact, the IDF has gone out of its way to warn people before attacking- UNLIKE HEZBOLLAH.

Point Two.

There seem to be two or three together, from the UK, Australia, and Canada who think it is not justified. Everyone else (or pretty much everyone but the mysterious number of guests) seems to think that it is.
