Israel at War?

How many Lebanese have been killed vs How many Israelis have been killed...

How many Lebanese have been wounded vs How many Israelis have been wounded
-or-
How much infrastructure/property damage has bee caused by Hezbollah vs how much damage has been caused by Israel...
-or-
How much land has been sprayed with defoliants by Hezbollah vs how much has been sprayed by Israel

If you can point to one of these and say that the numbers are even close... then hey you just might have an arguement - but I don't see that happening.

I have an argument because you cannot even address a single point I've made.

Using your logic Israel should destroy Lebanon and kill everyone in it because that's the equivalent of its enemies' goals.

And using your logic, if 10,000 people are killed in Israel, the Israelis should walk into Lebanon and kill 10,000 random people.

Israel attacked roads and airports so that Hezbollah wouldn't bring in more weapons from Syria and Iran and so it wouldn't move the kidnapped soldiers into Lebanon.

And at the end of the day, Hezbollah didn't kill less Israelis because they wanted to.

But then again Rob, given that you don't consider Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization, I'm sure it's easy for you to completely ignore all that and use that faulty logic.
