    First of all, I never said Hezbollah are terrorists.

    More important, this is about legality not morality. Governments adhere to the laws of armed conflict not out morality, but because they want their enemies to adhere to them. International law is always transactional.

    So if a government doesn’t adhere to the laws of armed conflict, then its enemies won’t adhere to them either. That’s pretty much the only enforcement mechanism, by the way.

      Interesting.

      It’s internationally illegal to booby trap by any means civilian objects in a non combat area filled with non coms.

      No there’s the hague, this one Israel actually signed.
