Yadda, the Israelis shelled a UN position which they knew the exact co-ordinates of
No argument.i

There is no conclusive evidence that [in the heat of a fire-fight against Hezbollah] the Israelis knew, or could know,
any such thing.
How could the Israelis know that a large number of civilians were located at teh position where the Hezbollah fire was originating from ?
They could not.
All that the Israelis knew
for certain [in the heat of a fire-fight against Hezbollah], was that fire was coming upon Israeli positions from an identified location within Lebanon.
Quote:
They still did it. [the Israelis still returned fire]
Yes.
And why shouldn't the Israelis have returned fire to the same position, which was the same location, where the Hezbollah fire was coming from ?
I DO NOT CONDEMN ISRAEL, FOR THAT ACTION.
Brian_Ross,
QUESTION;In the incident that you have referred to, if Hezbollah didn't want the civilian casualties to occur,
why did Hezbollah choose to endanger the Lebanese civilians, by firing rockets [against the Israeli positions], from a location right beside where they [Hezbollah] knew that Lebanese civilians were sheltering ?
I think that it is clear that the consequence that occurred [many Lebanese civilian deaths], was exactly the 'consequence' which Hezbollah intended.
I don't blame Israel for those deaths.
I blame Hezbollah for
intentionally and
callously bringing down Israeli fire, upon those civilians.

Quote:".....On the one hand, Israeli culture values life in all its aspects, including the sanctity of the life of others. Their soldiers take risks to spare civilians on the other side, unprecedented in the history of warfare. Aware of Israeli inhibitions, Jihadi groups use their own people as human shields in fighting the Israelis.
Over the last few years, these Jihadi groups have developed a full-blown death cult in which they raise their children to want to die killing others."
