The present war is not about land disputes. It is the result of attacks on Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas, both of whom hide themselves in the civilian population. People rob banks because that's where the money is.

Your concern for civilian casualties seems not to extend itself to Israeli casualties. They were the first in this particular war. The Israelis--as was noted upthread--have bomb shelters. That accounts for at least some of the disparity in casualty figures. They have those bomb shelters for a reason. Think about it.

BTW, Israel is a country. It has been since 1948.

If you care a wit about casulaties--which you claim to do--than write to Hezbollah and Hamas. Ask them not to attack Israel. That would show some good faith on your part. Period.
