"just a few rockets..."! Hundreds of rockets, missiles, drones per day, towards villages and civilians, 12 kids killed... Is there an "enough is enough"? Where is UN? Some 3000 well paid UN personnel is supposed to secure the demilitarization of the southern boarder of Lebanon. Perhaps UN should start to step up its responsibilities, rather than constantly hold Israel, only Israel to account?

[@StefanoMontani]

The 12 kids have been killed by Israel. Wake up! And just after having killed them, Israel used them to justify other deadly attacks. This is the depravation of Israel. In the last 11 months, Hezbollah killed 50 israelis, half civilians. Israel killed 600 lebanes.

I love the angling of questions around what Israel are doing to avoid civilian casualties. I'd have just said 'The same as Hezbollah'. This double standard about Israel needing to use a gloved fist when fighting against bare knuckle boxers, has to stop! Get on the phone and ask the book mumbling terrorists how they're trying to avoid civilian deaths.

IOF aren’t innocent either, lots more crimes committed by the colonised state than its neighbours. The world’s seen what I$real is like, we won’t forgive and we won’t forget!

Is peace ever an option? It seems that human life is worth so little. And all these values that the developed countries claim to stand for seem so worthless when you look at the level of destruction and death being allowed to happen. to refresh your mind watch this too: Tulsi Gabbard - Who Actually Runs The US Government? ITS WORTH IT!
