Reduced to name calling? Lack of facts to back their position up
will drive people to do that.

Two British Warships are heading to Lebanon, will Hezbollah, or as some say, Iran, attack them? Apparently the Israeli Warships moved further out to sea, to avoid being hit, but the British ships will need to move right in, if they are to evacuate people. All the ports are said to be unusable, anyway.

This might be casus beli for war against Iran.
The initial investigation revealed that at 8:45 p.m. crewmembers on board the vessel were preparing for Shabbat dinner when a loud blat was heard. One of the ship’s commanders has informed the Navy’s control command: “We’ve been hit.” In the first few minutes after the strike, it was unclear what hit the boat, and the sailors concentrated on extinguishing the fire that broke out at the landing pad after 50 kilograms of explosives penetrated the vessel’s body.

If they were hit by a C-802, a missile with a 165Kg warhead and fuel enough for a 120km flight, I think that the damage would be much bigger, they were only 16Km from the coast.
I do not know much about weapons, but I think that someone thought that a UAV was not a powerful menace to show to the public.

Tell that to the groups which attack israel daily. Funny cause thats what the terrorists claim they are doing "self defense" but who have they killed far more of? Israeli soldiers or civilians? Who do they target with their suicide belts and quasam rockets?
Tell the countries allowing the terrorists to use their countries as staging points to control their terrirtory.
The Israelis are not targeting civilians. They are targeting infrastructure, they are targeting terrorists. Terrorists don't report their dead as terrorists they report them as civilians.
It is Hez. which is and has been launching random rocket attacks into cities with no target other then terror.
Israel would nothing more then to leave the arabs alone but the arabs keep attacking them. What should they do?
And you don't resolve conflicts with measured reponse. Measured repsonse has been going on since israel was created it won't solve anything.
