        This doesn't even make sense. Suppose Israel does lie constantly. What does that have to do with whether Hezbollah does?

          Parent meant this as a statement of fact (stating it's x that lies, and implying it's not y, or that x lies more than y). As such (true or not) it makes perfect sense, and requires only a very intuitive and casual understanding to get it. Your comment reads as if it was some failed attempt at some kind of axiomatic construction (x lies _therefore_ y doesn't).

    well what's the ratio? is it 10000000 rockets fired to some region, with 1000 civilian hits, with 1 military facility hit? how do you "target" that rocket? just point it without precision?

          Ad-hominem is the argument of last resort, according to Paul Graham's hierarchy of disagreement.
