Title says it all
"Bombs over Beirut" (which is not in Iran or in a movie) is the subject at hand, and "the killing of civilians" the burning issue. Citizens, like sovereign nations, have a right to exist, and any human has a right to stand up for life and damn war. "Israel's indiscriminate bombing" is counterproductive, but moreso - just plain wrong. It's not an anti-semitic thing, it's merely appalling. While our own neocon creeps fan the flames (which is truly scary and criminal), many people wake up, indeed, to unnecessary bloodshed and want it stopped. Stop, Hezbollah - but stop, Israel, dammit too.
It's certain that there is much grotesque animosity toward Israel in the Mideast, and plenty vice versa. What's not obvious is whether Israel will ever understand that a portion of the ugliness might come from its own actions.
"Bullshit" is right.
