So this is what they mean by an Israeli War Crime

If you go to Human Rights Watch website you can read what they are telling you as to why the Israelis are committing war crimes. They even put together a "frequently asked questions" section...here's a winner answer below...

Question: "Hezbollah should bear responsibility for civilian deaths because it mixes its fighters and arms with the civilian population."

Answer: Not so quick. International humanitarian law does prohibit the deliberate use of civilians to shield fighters and military assets, and it requires all parties to do everything feasible to station their forces away from civilians. Clearly Hezbollah sometimes is violating these prohibitions, but despite the Israeli military's claims, that doesn't begin to account for the high Lebanese death toll. In many cases, Lebanese civilians who have survived air strikes on their homes or vehicles have told Human Rights Watch that Hezbollah was nowhere nearby when the attack took place.

In any event, even the use of civilian structures alone isn't enough to justify an attack. They become legitimate military targets only if Hezbollah troops or arms are present at the time, and the military value of their destruction outweighs the civilian cost. Human Rights Watch's research shows that repeatedly that wasn't the case.

Isn't taking out a launcher outweigh the destruction? When did Hezbollah become organized to have official troops? What defines enough arms? If this is true wouldn't the battle at Normandy been a war cirme as far the French were concnerned with these rules? Maybe we could bring back Civil War battles where we could all picnic on the sidelines while we watch them fight in an open field...you know to keep it friendly and not feeling too much like the other side is just out to kill you.
