Playing by the rules

Human Rights Watch has concluded that Israel is guilty of war crimes:

(Beirut, August 3, 2006) – Israeli forces have systematically failed to distinguish between combatants and civilians in their military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Human Rights Watch said in report released today. The pattern of attacks in more than 20 cases investigated by Human Rights Watch researchers in Lebanon indicates that the failures cannot be dismissed as mere accidents and cannot be blamed on wrongful Hezbollah practices. In some cases, these attacks constitute war crimes.

I would think the same could be said for Hizbullah in so far as their rocket attacks are concerned. I don't really know how it plays out legally if you commit war crimes against those who commit them against you. It would certainly be better if everyone agreed to kill each other according to the rules.
