OK . . OK Pieman has got all figured out.
We the Zionists Love killing Arabs. We've got that Jewish Festival coming up and we need non-Jewish blood to make holiday paistries. So what we did is set up a false flag op and brainwahed Hassan Nasrallah to take credit for the attack. Then we destroyed Lebanon for the fun of it. Hell, I took part of the operation and I flew my Jet and bombed Lebanon while listening to Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil. It was so much FUN!
At, one point I saw a rocket launcher and a bus full of kids and I said what the hell lets take the bus-out first!!!

However, I do not think the law has been breached as black and white as you think it has. How do you define defensive? It is commonly acceptable to apply the term "defense" to a nation's offensive military operations against an invading force.

you guys are comparing apples and oranges here. regardless of which side you agree with in the conflict, you are comparing an organization that intentionally targets civilians while using its own civilians as both cover and to increase collateral damage from israeli attacks with a country that is using precision ammunition, sending out leaflets daily to the areas of intended target, and actually calling lebanese houses in the areas of intended attack with warnings in order to stop excessive civilian casualties.
Israel calls spook jittery Lebanese
At first, Bushra Khayyat tried to ignore the incessant ringing of the phone at her house in Lebanon’s southern port city of Sidon. It was 4 am, but she finally got out of bed.
“I said hello and got a recorded message from Israel,” she told Reuters.
In clear Arabic, the strong voice on the phone said: “Oh Lebanese people, we tell you not to follow Hizbullah. We will continue to strike and no one will bring your prisoners back from Israel except the Lebanese government
Khayyat got a similar call two nights later, this time answered by her maid, who, panicking when she heard a voice announce “This is Israel”, immediately put down the phone.

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the reign of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is burning and I, I live by the river

Regenmacher and the ThePieMan, would you two please stick to the topic? Go make out in a U2U if you don’t have anything to say about the topic at hand, or start a topic about the phone calls.
Overkill or not, Israel is defending itself and its citizens as any government has a moral and legal obligation to do.

Everything is connected to the topic, if you open your head up.
So what's your excuse of not staying on topic and choosing to whine?
Follow your own advice before becoming a hyprocrite.
Topic is about bombs, bombing, illegal arms support and war et al.
Your idea of defense of what? Who says one person deserves to live more than another? Evoking a egomanicial God complex and how to embrace hate is logical? You have no more right to live than those across the border/ocean, except based on what you think your fallible ego says. Moses already wrote the rules down, and few are followed in this war.
If man had any sense of creation, he would see war as no solution for anything of merit. Till then mankind is groping in the dark, and fouling his own habitat. Only thing we should be expediting to Israel is books to learn from. Not weapons for Neanderthals to bonk each other with.
Planet of freaking nuts and Canaanite death merchants....there's no rationalizing any of this other than the goal of a proxy war for fools to dance and die in.
Ohh is a justified slaughter, let the heads roll = horsecrap!
