    No, like bombing the suports to a major bridge, and the runway of the major airport, shutting it down.

    I didn't say they didn't kill people, they just were strategically places, instead of say, bombing a non-government building, or a sports arena or something like that.

    It prolly had a Hezbollah rocket launcher in it, or it was a potential military asset.

    The Israeli army said it had struck about 150 targets in Lebanon so far, fewer than a dozen of them linked directly to Hizbollah. Most have hit civilian installations.

    The assault has choked Lebanon's economy.
    From a news article...

    Would bombing any civilian airport, such as DFW or O'Hare, really be a strategic target during an invasion of the US? No. Because it makes no sense.

    Just like all the lighthouses in the US have anti-aircraft guns in them?

    but you have to remember that isnt america, while here we have many places to have runways and we seperate our civilian runways from military installations that is often not the case in many other countries. Just one thing to consider.

    I didn't say I knew their strategy, but obviously they have one or they would have just bombed the hell out of anything within range?

    I just want to say that war has changed A LOT. Back in WWII countless civilians got killed, yet there wasn't a big fuss about it. But now a civilian gets killed and it's all over the news. Also since the US started caring about not killing civilians we have gotten a stalemate in Korea, loss in Vietnam, in Desert Storm we didn't finish the job, and now we're getting nowhere in Iraq, not to mention other smaller conflicts.

    Well apart from all the the reasons given for the US support, look at how many Jews are at they heads of large American corporations, especially those that have roles high up in almost all major American media companies. The media is Israel-biased, which causes most people to sway that way as well, and hence we have this support.

    Also, Israel is a country that was founded on one of the most nationalistic and racist ideologies in modern times. It was founded on the belief that this land is theirs, they were told that it is theirs, and they now have no regard for Arab life.
