Something I believe I did not emphasize enough in my post about the most recent eruption of violence in the Middle East is the human toll. When discussing the subject with peers it is often hard to truelly internalize the human cost that occurs with large scale violence. In the case of the Hizbollah and Israel conflict, hundreds of innocent civilians are being killed. Countless others are having their homes destroyed, belongings taken away, and all around undergoing a reality that, frankly, I cannot identify with.
Just remember that when you are discussing policy, opinions, whatever argument you are making for whatever action...that humans are involved, and they feel just like we do.
