My problem is not who's getting killed, but who's doing the killing.
Israel is supposed to be the civilized, western nation in these conflicts: they have "defence forces" and the US connection. They're against the type of enemy that uses slingshots against tanks and associates martyrdom with crowd surfing. There are some things everyone should expect from Israel that can not be expected from the Hizbollah for a long time.
Instead of reasonable moral standards, Israel is known for bombing UN peacekeepers, dropping WP on civilians and assassinating innocent people in Norway, among others. Matter of fact Israel is constantly getting away with loads of different outrageous and inexplicable shit all over the world. I was very surprized the flotilla incident actually played out against them instead of the hum de dum publicity that usually ensues. in the thread regarding that raid I focused my criticism to the same issues: Israel lacked standards and responsibility, declining to the apish level of their enemy like so many times before.
Let's say you have a cat in your neighborhood that keeps coming at everyone's backyards, fucking up the plants, using kids' sandbox as it's toilet and bringing dead rodents inside the house. Israel is the neighbor who hisses at the cat, claws it and does all kinds of stupid inane little shit that only makes the cat more angry and confused. That's a lousy metaphor to the actual conflict, but within lies the core reason I don't "support" Israel or have any actual interest in it's possible difficulties in dealing with the Palestinians.
