    You know nothing about my world, don’t try to infer my life out of a dozen Internet posts

    This is a greatly successful operation with minimal number of civilian casualties. Usually, civilians casualties are much higher, and are never zero. I am not saying i don’t give a damn about civilians : i am saying there are 2 countries waging (almost) a war on each other, and this operation is a great (tactical?) success

      yea well you are going out of your way to disregard two dead children and health care workers as “minimal causalties” not to mention your biased supposition that 3000 injured are all Hezbollah militants. You don’t leave room for much else.

      “This is a greatly successful operation with minimal number of civilian casualties. Usually, civilians casualties are much higher, and are never zero.”

      And again your logic equates to “there are operations with much more civilian casualties so operations with few civilian casualties are ok”

      the only success of this operation is just Israel demonstrating the extent of its reach. We dont even know who/how many the Hezbullah members are among the 3000 injured and 20 dead. Current knowledge states among the 20 dead are 2 children and 4 health care workers:

      I am willing to bet more than half of those injured were not militant members or even members of Hezbollah. This is the only logical outcome of detonation of bombs in civilian areas. Trying to claim that all of those 3000 people are militant members of Hezbollah when these bombs exploded in hospitals, groceries, funerals and family homes is simply delirious.

      State of Israel simply does not care about civilian casualties. For them ten Lebanon civilians and one valid target dead is still a success. I don’t really understand why you are trying to whitewash this operation more than even the state of Israel does. This is simply drooling over power and influence.

        Imagine the outrage if the sides were reversed. 3000 Israeli injured and 20 Israeli dead on a Lebanese attack.

        And again your logic equates to…

        yes.

        I am willing to bet more than half of those injured were not militant members or even members of Hezbollah

        Will see how it goes? This is your speculation. We both have the same amount of information

        State of Israel simply does not care about civilian casualties

        Definitely doesn’t care much

        This is simply drooling over power and influence.

        I returning your argument to you: you can’t distinguish a successful operation from a flop, because you are drooling too much for the other side
