"TRUE, making the point that Hezbollah is in violation of international law, and committing war crimes."

And Israel is not, especially when murdering UN observers in well known and marked positions, and deliberately targeting ambulances bearing red crosses? They BOTH are doing the same 'illegal acts' (and the USA is showing partisanship!) - and Israel is still squatting on territory 'stolen' as a a result of 'conquest' - oh, sorry, YWH told them they could have it!

"packed full of ball bearings for maximum human killing effect ... these rockets are not made to specifications on knocking out a military target."

Did a damn effective job when they finally lobbed one in that group of troops (a military target!) though (as i said, a 'random' weapon!)... and I wasn't aware that shrapnel was a prohibited munition (frag grenades and mortars would be illegal then, wouldn't they?) - almost every anti-personnel weapon (that does not use a bullet) uses that. Unless you just mean that only 'bloody big explosions' are legal - which is what the guided 500 pound + bombs are for - knocking out physical structures.


"You have NOT addressed the stated point ( by the UN observer) that the Hezbollah forces are using such as human shields, and thus bear the guilt THEMSLVES for any civilian casualties."

I've not seen any 'credible evidence' that ambulances are being used for weapon carrying - that long term Israeli claim was discussed here ages ago, and jOhn who had carried such weapons said that the pictures submitted as 'proof' didn't look like the real things anyway! - and I HAVE seen many times the footage of the neat hole in the centre of the red cross on the top of both ambulances...

And the Israelis have been kidnapping civilians for years - and even now are holding as prisoners freely elected (in an acknowledged 'honest election') as members of a parliament - is not THAT illegal?
