Lebanon may be an independent country but either cannot or does not want to stop Hezbollah from firing rockets at Israel. Israel just happens to defend itself against attacks from abroad. IMO they should attack Syria as well, if they have proof that Damascus is supporting Hezbollah. |
If my memory serves me well, the International Court of Justice, in the
Military and para-military activities in and against Nicaragua case, had the opportunity to stress that the invasion of an indipendent country (that time was from the US), even if justified for "humanitarian reason", is absolutely against the international law.
Same principle apply to the so called "prevention war", i.e. start a war to prevent an attack to your country.
