I decided it's not war, it's genocide or a crusade, take your pick. What else can explain the targeting of civilians in Palestine? There are two issues here.

One is that Isreal is tired of dealing with terrorist groups and threats to its sovernty. So, they attack Hezbollah and Hamas.

The other is that said terrorist groups are essentially civilains with guns. No or loose organization, little training, no uniforms. So to attack these groups, Isreal must strike civilians and hope to kill a few terrorists/freedom fighters/guerillas.

I don't see the situation getting better any time soon, I keep wondering when the two populations (Isreal and everyone else) will get tired of killing each other. WHen that happens, peace will break out. I'm just glad i'm not there, or know anyone who lives there. Both sides are to blame in this conflict, like most others (ie Iraq).
