"Almost all of the civilians killed so far in all of the hostilities in all of the effected areas, beardedbruce (this includes Israel as well as Lebanon and Gaza) have been people who were not Israelis, but were Gazan and Lebanese civilians."

And THEIR blood is on the hands of HAMAS and HEZBOLLAH.

You seem to think that targetting old women and children deliberatly, as Hamas and Hezbollah do, is not worthy of comment, but the death of civilians while attacking a legitimate military target is a crime- WHICH THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS have defined as being the crime of the side which PLACED the military target in a civlian area. IF there are war-crime trials, as there should be, the ONLY evidence so far indicates HAMAS and HEZBOLLAH are guilty, by their choice of prohibited areas to locate military depots, headquarters, and targets.
