Hear about the Lebanese executions by Hizbollah?

There were 18 people accused of being spies for Israel to pinpoint where Hizbollah was hiding by using phosphorescent paint to trace their tracks. They were executed a week ago. This is a normal, paranoid, reaction employed by terrorists all over the ME.

We see this happening in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, well, you get the point. You do not even have to be at war to be accused of helping Israel or harming 'national security'.

But Israel is the war criminal? Let us look into that, shall we? The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) wears uniforms. Hizbollah hides in the middle of women and children who are forced to stay when the IDF tells them to flee. Hizbollah fires indiscriminately into civillian crowds, while the IDF targets military sites.

You are so quick to call fall the Geneva Convention, do you know what it says about this behavior? Hizbollah, NOT Israel, is committing war crimes. I pray one day your eyes will be opened so you may be able to tell the difference between good and evil, right from wrong. God help us all if you do not.
