Well I watch CBC, BBC, DW, CNN, and when I can stomach it FOXNews. Didn't know that made me a "bleeding heart"

2) The UN isn't controlled by the US, although they should be. You continue to ignore the UN's inaction on terrorism.
No it isn't controlled by the US (thank God); but it is beholden to the US (just as it is to any security council member with veto), and the US is effectively blocking any calls for a cease-fire or condemnation for any Israeli action.

3) Your consistant condoning of terrorism makes your condemnation of Israel less legitimate.
I don't condone any terrorism - whether it be by an organization or by a state - I say again that I don't condone any terrorism. In fact I condemn the terrorism by both Hezbollah and the IDF.

4) Again, this is entirely the fault of Hamas and Hezbollah. They started this, and I pray to God Israel finishes it, by whatever means necc.
No it is not entirely the fault of Hamas or Hezbollah - yes they sparked the beginnings of the current round of violence; yes they have launched attacks on Israel; but they weren't the ones that dropped the precision bombs... so the IDF shares the blame.
