Peace - I have said it several times. Israeli attacks on Hezbollah and only Hezbollah may be justifiable. That depends on a different argument, namely whether Hezbollah are freedom fighters or terrorists.

Even if Hezbollah had taken civilians hostage, it would not be justifiable to kill the hostages in order to kill the Hezbollah personnel. It might be militarily advantageous, but it would be wrong. If you don't understand that then you do not know right from wrong. You advance only the argument of necessity. The end does not justify the means.
