3. you cannot defend the indefensible. |
|
I don't even think you can honestly rationalize targeting rescuers.

17. Does Hezbollah own ambulances in south Lebanon? |
|
They would be useful for winning the hears and minds of the local population.
Is there any reason to believe that they have been used to transport militants or weapons in the past?
Have they ever been used to transport rockets?
I am not justifying the attacks. I doubt that Hezbollah is blameless in this.

5. Even if, hypothetically, the Hizbollah are using ambulances to hide in, |
|
they can't be sure which ones, and I doubt they'd use every ambulance, and that makes it heinous to bomb them. Even bombing cars on the roads is heinous - there's got to be a 100 to one chance, at best!, that there's hizbollah agents in them, seeing how the Lebanese are trying to escape the bombing - have, indeed, been told by the Israeli themselves to evacuate! There's no way they can know whether there's anything but innocent civilians in those vehicles. Heinous!

11. That has been wrong since they killed the Cathari at Beziers. |
|
It was a Catholic commander who first said that before the massacre at Bezier, and as a Catholic, I can only say that I had hoped the world had learned better by now. Mater Ecclesia will do her share of purgatory for that, and so will all those who use that principle in war.

8. "We never intentionally target civilians or ambulances" |
|
The irony in that statement by the Israeli Army spokesman is inescapable. See the video - you won't see anything like it on American TV. Guarantee that.

15. Oh my Lord, that is insane |
|
Thanks for posting this, we won't see a report like that in the States. How horrendous, the people in the ambulance were hurt worse than when they got in the ambulance. To see that little boy age 12, with injuries to his head is heartbreaking.

18. It seems the IDF is trying to hide behind incompetence |
|
I say if they're that incompetent, they're not fit to have all those weapons.
