Filipino liberal, Israel Stop Retaliating

You are absolutely correct Filipino liberal, Israeli army should not kill civilians. And since brave Hezbollah fighters have developed this unique strategy of hiding among civilians, Israelis should cease retaliating against Hezbollah attacks, because they may injure civilians.

Therefore, the only solution for Jews is to suffer Hezbollah attacks quietly and die without making a fuss. Filipino liberal, your logic is impeccable, you must be an army general or great military commander of some rank and I would highly recommend that Hezbollah hire you as an army strategist. Oh yes, thanks for the information regarding "Israel subtly provoking Hezbollah for some time already".

By the way, since you apparently have information that nobody has heard before, maybe you can tell us how Israel was provoking Hezbollah. Were Israeli soldiers sticking their tongues out, making faces, releasing flatulence, giving one finger salute or ignoring Hezbollah rockets fired into Israel thus provoking conflict?

Of course we know that Hezbollah was firing rockets on a daily basis against Israel, but that should not be characterized as a provocation but rather some Hezbollah boys entertaining themselves to avoid boredom. Please continue to submit comments on any Middle East conflicts as you do indeed have a unique perspective that always condemns Israel and praises Allah's warriors which excites and pleases all Muslims...
