Hate and kill. Never mind that that just makes it all worse, raising the hate and desire to kill on the other side.

My objection is more to the kind of response Israel made. They bombed neighborhoods and killed hundreds of civilians. They justified it by saying, "We have a right to defend ourselves." This is true, but bombing civilians is not an act of self defense.

It's not that Hezbollah was in the right. Far from it. But that Israel's response was inappropriate almost to the point of irrelevance.
