So you believe Israel should make no distinction between a U.N. observation post and a Hezbollah installation and that Israel therefore is justified in killing Canadian, Finnish, Austrian, and Chinese UN Observers occupying a UN installation under a U.N. Mandate?

Your arguements, consistently, seem to be that Israel need not respect International law, need not take care to avoid killing International observers, need not take care to avoid killing Lebanese civilians, and is justified in destroying any Lebanese infrastructure - civilian or potentially otherwise - that they please. Well they seem to be doing just these things, but they have no right to do so, and are prohibitte by the International Laws they so flagrantly ignore. They are rapidly becoming, in my books, an outlaw state and an international pariah.
