war crimes

Amnesty International has accused Hezbollah of acts amounting to war crimes in the conflict with Israel.


It says the Lebanese militant group deliberately targeted civilians with rockets in the 34-day war - a "serious violation of humanitarian law".


Amnesty says what it calls Israel's violations can in no way justify Hezbollah's actions.


It quoted Sheikh Nasrallah as saying: "As long as the enemy undertakes its aggression without limits or red lines, we will also respond without limits or red lines."


About 1,000 Lebanese, mainly civilians, died in the fighting, while 161 Israelis, mainly soldiers, were killed.

Hmmm... tit for tat? Who over reacted? Who killed the most innocent? Why is Zion and Christianity above reproach? It doesn't take a genius to see who's actions are more egregious. But who gets kicked around in the world press?
