Moral Equivalency?

The final comment left by Walter is nothing more than a moral equivalency argument. You were not saying that the childrent killed by the collapse of the building in Qana was rightous (I'm not sure what exactly caused the collapse...).

Walter is creating a strawman that you say it is just to kill the Lebanese children because Jews are good, and the terrorists are bad. However, you were not stating the childrent were evil, since they do not have the moral responsibility to not dance in the streets when Jewish civilians are killed. When adult Lebanese do that, whether or not they are officially part of Hezbollah is no matter, they are no longer consider either innocent or civil.

Therefore, Walter's argument is appealing to the heart strings and because childrent are dying on both sides of the conflict their deaths are equivalent morally speaking when it is anything but moral to have children indoctrined in hate, and used as shields for terrorist fighters.

Hope this helps rebut the arguments made by Walter.
