Human Shields

So I'm sure everyone has heard by now about the most recent bombing of civilians in Lebanon at the hands of Israeli's bombs.

Israel's response is the usual meaningless "oops, sorry" followed by the rationalization that tragedies such as this are "inevitable" because Hezbollah are operating within civilian populations, using said civilians as "human shields".

Let's remember where this kind of rationalization for death and destruction leaves us, especially considering that every Jewish Israeli over the age of 18 must serve in the military, effectively rendering every single person in Israel a "human shield" for the Israeli war machine.

Accordingly, will the deaths of bystanding grandmothers and children in Israel also be considered simply "inevitable" when Hezbollah's equally stupid and brutal rockets reach populated areas?
