Crat from the planet Dem seeks answers on the Israeli-Lebanon conflict from our hero, Pierre.
Pierre, your Earth leaders display bizarre logic. Shouldn't they condemn Hezbollah for instigating attacks on Israel?
No, no Crat. European leaders are more nuanced and don't wish to offend zee feelings of zee Muslim citizens.
While Israel actually drops leaflets warning civilians of impending attacks...
I thought Earth nations have a right to defend their people and their borders.
Oui, but zee response was disproportionate to zee 2,000 rockets sent into Israeli cities by Hezbollah .
Hezbollah uses other Muslims as human shields, blaming civilian deaths on Israel.
What exactly is a "proportionate" response?
Well, obviously when Israel doesn't respond at all.
