Good point.
The only thing I can say is it's like the cheerleading going on here during 'Shock & Awe' on just about every news channel. Or like the Israeli children writing messages on the bombs to be dropped on Lebanese civilians.
I don't agree with the celebrations, but I can understand it. After suffering constant bombardment from Israel, any attack would seem a good reason to celebrate. With Israel's tanks, planes & helicopters, it can strike anywhere in Gaza & the West Bank it wants. With their limited weaponry, the Palestinians can't strike inside Israel as easily. So a strike against their oppressor would be cause to celebrate.
Again, I don't agree, but I can understand it.

  I agree too. I'm not saying what I would or wouldn't do, because thank Dog I'm not in that situation, but I do understand.
  Shock n' Awe made me sick.
  Little Israeli kids writing on bombs makes me sick.
  The use of cluster bombs in Lebanon makes me sick.

    You got that right.
    Along w/everything else in your post.
    To paraphrase, "it's sickening" - and all so senseless.
