Learning the wrong lesson

It seems to me that someone learned the wrong lesson here:

As international human rights organizations decry the high toll of civilian deaths suffered in the Lebanon war, America’s main organization of Modern Orthodox rabbis is calling on the Israeli military to be less concerned with avoiding civilian casualties on the opposing side when carrying out future operations.

The very reason Hizbullah won this encounter is that the Israelis over-reacted. Rather than go after the enemy that attacked them, they went after Lebanon as a whole. Now, not only do the Lebanese hate the Israelis (most did already), now they love Hizbullah because Hizbullah is Israel's enemy. The rest of the world saw Hizbullah as David with his slingshot attacking the Israeli Goliath, and its sympathies went with David.
