I feel you have made a good point. IMO, Israel has been breaching
the human rights of many Lebanese people by their air attacks,
yet the governments of the US and Europe support their actions as necessary to
fight "terrorists".

Who defines who is a "terrorist" anyway?

It seems that the IRA, ETA, the Iranian govt and Hamas are "terrorists".
But Israel is not considered as one.
