According to the BBC:
More than 900 Lebanese, most of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict, the Lebanese government says. More than 90 Israelis, most of them soldiers, have also been killed.
The statement is a perfect example of how the BBC's reporting is entirely misleading. According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
Since July 12, 39 Israeli civilians and 58 IDF soldiers have been killed.
So yes, 'most' of the deaths are soldiers. But you'd think from the BBC's language that civilian casualties are insiginifiant.
It's pretty obvious why the BBC uses such a misleading phrase - if it can be made to seem that Israel is killing civilans, but Hezbollah are killing soldiers, then it supports the idea that Israel is acting immorally.
Then again, In BBC-land, where news is supplied by Hezbollah and income is handed over by force of law, 40 per cent of dead civilian Jews appear to be barely worth considering.

From David Lisbona:
I have no other country even if my land is aflame
Just a word in Hebrew pierces my veins and my soul
- With a painful body, with a hungry heart,
Here is my home.
I will not stay silent because my country changed her face
I will not give up reminding her
And sing in her ears until she will open her eyes

Perhaps Israel could try getting out of other people's countries. They deserve everything which happens to them.
