For all of those screaming genocide...
Advertisements [?]
Who is actually meeting the definition of genocide here?

Genocide:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/genocide
-The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.
-the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group
-n : systematic killing of a racial or cultural group

Is it Israel which has the capability of killing as many Lebanese as it pleases at any given point? If they were targeting civilians for death and destruction, my goodness they are doing an awfully shabby job given their firepower. Hezbollah targets so happen to be in residential areas. They are not a conventional army with large units sitting in the field ready to be destroyed.

No, this definition matches Hezbollah and groups like it that are targeting civilians with the expressed purpose of killing as many Jews as possible. The same goes for Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al-Qaeda, etc. They want all Jews in Israel dead or removed. If Hezbollah had Israel's capabilities, there would be piles of dead Jews that would rival the Holocaust.

Just who are the genocidal ones?
