Right, well if you think Israel does not place military command centers
in dense Urban areas you would be wrong as any Israeli army officer
would readily tell you they have plenty of military command and combat
facilities in densely populated areas.

There is nothing inevitable about the disproportionate number of civilians being killed in Lebanon it is the result of a direct policy by the IDF to carve out a completely "sanitized" zone within Southern Lebanon.
As for your bullshit question "what were children doing in a war zone" my only answer to such a disingenuous question is fuck-off.
You are no friend to Israel and no foe of anti-semitism when you play this inconsistent moral game. It would be better you applied your abstract humanism in a truly abstract fashion and counted (a)anti-Arab sentiment in your definition of anti-semitism and (b)held that the deliberate ethnic cleansing of civilian populations is criminal no matter who does it or for what reason period with no trailing bullshit questions such as that above.
