The lefties are already making the Hezbo claim that these Hezbo attacks are merely "retaliation" for Isreali attacks. But Isreal has zero motivation for attacking civillians. Isreal only wants to maintain its boundries and security, and all its international actions derive as responses to those around them that wish to eradicate them.

Just as my daughter always has an excuse for not doing her homework, the anti-Isrealis will always have an excuse for attacking Isreal: it's never because "our charter mandates that we eradicate Isrea", it's always "we're just retaliating against Isreal's last attack."

If all parties stopped their attack, only one lacks a constitutional mandate to eradicate any of the others: Isreal.

Six: I believe that AI has been pretty consistant over the years about applying uniform standards to all nations, even those that promise "universal healthcare."
