Pretty Much Sums This Issue Up For Me.....

OK, not even close. But this was a beautiful interchange I found in an article in Haaretz:

"The European Union is greatly concerned about the disproportionate use of force by Israel in Lebanon in response to attacks by Hezbollah on Israel," according to a statement issued by Finland which holds the EU's rotating presidency. "The presidency deplores the loss of civilian lives and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. The imposition of an air and sea blockade on Lebanon cannot be justified."

"The government of Israel is greatly concerned about the disproportionate use of one-sided language by the new European Union presidency concerning the situation in Lebanon," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said in response to the statement.

EXACTLY. This is WAR. Whoever won a war without using "disproportionate use of force"? What, they want a tie?

This is a war. The only lasting solution is a definitive defeat of Hamas and Hezbollah.
