Clear enough for you?
She makes clear what would constitute a human rights violation, but doesn't present any evidence. Of course Israeli commanders could be shelling cities indiscriminately, or targeting buildings without proper intelligence, but are they? It would require a lot more than simply pointing at the number of civilian dead to show that.
Tell you what, why don't you go to Beirut and find out for yourself? After all, you're not Hezbollah and Israel is only after Hezbollah so you should be just fine.

Or if you're not willing to do that, then do some research. The facts, the pictures, its all out there in the public domain if you want to go looking for it. But I think you have already an opinion formed and why let facts get in the way of it?
