All their weapons are indiscriminate

Hizbollah uses weapons that are entirely indiscriminate. Why is this not criticized. Could you imagine the criticism if anyone else used those fucking rockets? I cant stand Israel but I hate terrorists worse.

Terrorists are so renegade it's useless condemning them and their tactics.

Useless? Nah, it demonstrates that those who are doing the condemning, at least in this instance, are not pathetic fucking assholes.

I guess. It seems to me to be warfare via hurting the enemies feelings. "You are a terrorist murderer! You kill innocent people!" Then goes another terrorist bomb, sending the obvious message that they clearly don't give a fuck.

I think the point is that everyone knows terrorists are douchebags, so why even bring it up? It's like pointing out that Pat Robertson is insane.

They actually seem to be heroes to quite a large portion of the world's population, and, no, there is never an appropriate time to stop screaming about this.

A large portion of the world's population? Do tell us where you get your information from.

Why, the BBC, who routinely tells me that a significant portion of the 1 billion Muslims are in support of terrorist attacks.

They're terrorists, it would be silly to criticize their methods.
If you would view them as "freedom fighters" then you could criticize their minutes to kingdom come, and rightfully so, but some of the methods they use, such as targeting civilians to effect panic, eliminate them as possible "freedom fighters".
They're terrorists, so their methods are obviously unacceptable.

Why don't you ever source the mostly outrageous and ridiculous claims you make?

Thats not an outrageous claim. It is merely suggestive of one. "A significant portion" can be ten people.

Hezbollah is launching an offensive against the Israeli military and launching missiles at Israeli civilians. Israel is going after Hezbollah fighters and is dropping bombs on Lebanon areas populated by civilians.
Neither has the higher ground. Both sides are assholes.

Yea but we have had a lot of civilian casualties. Even though the Israeli bombs hit dead on target at the fuel depots, airports, roads, communication stations, ministries..... they still kill civilian workers.
But yea, Hezbollah is just shooting at densely populated cities for maximum casualties. I haven't heard of any strategic places being hit. And as for the warship hit by a rocket, well, you can't really miss it when it's right in the open.

It depends on who they are and you must realize all persons are significant.

You can't compare the actions of a state, a member of the UN, representative of it's citizens, beholden to democracy, international treaties and law, to the actions of a terrorist organisation.
Clearly, terrorist organisations have no legitimacy. They kill people indiscriminately, their plans include a level of malice and disregard for human life that is horrifying. But that's kind of a given.
The reason there is focus on Israel's response is that Israel expects legitimacy. It expects to be able to negotiate with other states. It expects to be taken seriously at the United Nations. It accepts aid from Western powers.
