steve harper's measured response

beirut diary part 2: war crimes, a moment of humanity and harper's shame

is this a measured response, steve harper?

collective punishment isn't self-defense

b'tselem: the israeli information center for human rights in the occupied territories

b'tselem: lebanon and northern israel

have a nice day!

Comments:
Forgive me if I'm mistaken but aren't you ommiting a particular part of that statement?

"At this time"

As for your photo's I remember seeing a photo op on TV where Some lebanese/Hezballa were supposedly digging furiously to unearth buried people. But the people digging were obviously acting because it seemed more like they were playing in the sand than actualy digging to unearth buried people. There was also a lady who fainted on camera My god do they think were stupid to these obvious play acting scenarios?

I'm not dismissing that there is hardship, but if they want the world to respect them they either have to totally embrace the Hezballa and oust the Hamas government or oust the Hezballa and embrace the Hamas government you can't have it both ways.
 
Omitting part of the statement doesn't make any difference as at no time was the Israeli response measured.

As for the confusion concerning hamas and hezbollah: hamas forms part of the palestinian government as hezbollah forms part of the lebanese government; they are both considered terrorist organizations and have these political branches; they are not in conflict with one another.
