What other country would have put up with constant attacks? - day after day your right to exist is challenged.
Imagine for one minute that Canada grew a pair - and lobbed a few bombs at Chicago or even New York.
Now imagine it has been happening for decades.....
Imagine your home and there is a knock on the door. It's men with guns and they say this property is ours because a book of fairy tales tells us so. Wouldn't you be a little pissed and then they take more and more of the land your people have. You don't have a army, no one else is standing up for you so how do you fight.

Wait -- yesterday you didn't care what happened years ago and now you do?
No matter how you try to put it...
Lebanon would not have a single crater and life would be as it was on Monday had Hezbollah not invaded Israeli territory and captured Israeli soldiers.

perhaps you forgot that in 47 the UN decided to give both a state and the original jewish state as proposed by the UN was signifantly smaller than Isreal is today. But the Arabs decided to try to kill all jews there and they lost and the Jewish state ended up beeing much bigger than the UN had invisioned.
The the Arabs tried again to drive the Jews back into the sea and they lost every single time. That's how Israel got the west bank and the Gaza strip.
Now I agree .. propably wasn't the brightest idea to build settlements in the occupied terretories. But at the time they were a strategic necessity. Do some research and you will find that the settlements were really started after the Yom-Kippur war in 73 when the Syria and Egypt almost succeeded in the first few days of the war. Had Jordan joined in and attacked Israel from the east the Arabs would've suceeded for sure. Therefore it was decided to create settlements in the west bank which would serve as a first line of defense, especcially making it hard to access Jerusalem from Jordan.
Just imagine living in a country surrounded by others that want to wipe you from the face of the earth. How would you react. Do you think Isreal wanted the current crisis? Who started it?
Have you considered that maybe Iran had a hand in this in order to stop talk about their nuclear program and instead focus attention on the Israel-Hisbollah problem?
Dude the civilians are getting their houses bombed right now ... with no military target arround them.

I would have worn that argument a generation ago - but now we have a generation of Jews that see Israel as their home.
Its the worlds biggest balls up - even GFY could have come up with a better solution than 'sticking them in with a bunch of Arabs'. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

oh yeah? Where did you get that from?
If they happen to live in the same house as some high level Hisbollah guy .. I guess that's colleteral damage. It's bad but it happens in every war.
Just think about it for a second. What does isreael have to gain in just randomly bombing civilian houses? Do you really think they bomb civilians on purpose when the whole world is watching? This is not like a ground war where occasionally soldiers go nuts and just go on a killing spree like it has happened in Iraq a few times. In a air war targets are planned and there is a reason why you waste a fucking expensive bomb on a building. Esp. if you are a small country with some limit to what you can spend on a war like Israel. Thinking helps sometimes when evaluating information
Israel has every right to defend themselves. They have to live by terrorists that just love to strap bombs to themselves and explode them in public places. Innocent people do get killed and that does suck. That happens in every war.

Please tell me last time Lebanon made terrorism on Israel, except a group from the country kidnapping two soldiers. 100.000$ question!
