He really hit a strong point here that both sides are taking actions that are putting innocent civilians and infastructure in danger during these attacks.
Annan said Hezbollah's actions in launching rockets into Israel and abducting Israeli soldiers "hold an entire nation hostage" and set back prospects for Middle East peace.
But he also condemned Israel's "excessive use of force" and collective punishment of the Lebanese people, saying it had triggered a humanitarian crisis.
"While Hezbollah's actions are deplorable, and Israel has a right to defend itself, the excessive use of force is to be condemned," he told the Security Council.
Israel must make "a far greater and more credible effort ... to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure," he said.
I find it strange that a country full of Jews would put no value on human life given what their people went through because of the Holocaust.
It seems like the terrible acts that happened to the Jews have been forgotten and history is now repeating itself in the form of this current conflict.
History that is not remembered is doomed to repeat itself and now with Israel with the upper hand, history is repeating itself again.
