What is the ratio for human life?

I am curious how we decide the value of one person’s life against another. A current example would be the current conflict with Israel. Hezbollah raided Israel and took (2) soldiers and now innocent women and children are being killed in Lebanon and Israel is sending troops deeper into Lebanon. This is only an example there are unfortunately hundreds of others. What is the ratio then for the eye- for an-eye rule?

    In the eyes of the global elite controlling the governments of the world - we are all worthless. Situations are blatently faked so wars can be fought, all over imaginary ideals and beliefs dependant on deception. We all become a sacrifice to their gods - both the innocent killed in battle, the innocent put into prisons, and the soldiers killed on the front line. To them, the secret rulers of planet earth, as many of us as possible should be killed. We are sheep sent to the slauther. Human life should be priceless, there should be no justification for ever harming another living being when we have the capacity to not do so.

    This is more then two kidnapped soldiers (and the others that were killed in the raid you seem to have forgotten).

    This is about a country that wants to exist in peace and is tired of having a neighbor with the intent of wiping them out and periodical launching various attacks against them mostly against civilians.

    Try and understand this, let's say you live in the US and a group on the Canadian border is launching rockets into American cities and coming across the border and killing and kidnapping Americans. What should the US do if Canada not only does nothing but assists this group? Now imagine that this has been going on for decades.

    Officially, everyone agrees with everyone'life is worth the same and that a human life is priceless.

    I think it is hypocritical and that the reality is different - but nobody will tell this officially.

    On the other hand, would it be worth to spend $1,000,000,000 for saving someone from terrorists while it costs far too much for the population of the nation that pays?

    In this case, it seems more balanced to let the person get killed but at least, the economic stability of the nation remains.

    It may seem cruel, but that's the reality.

    I suppose it depends on your point of view. To each side, their side's lives are worth more than the other. This is how things escalate... you killed two of our men so we're not stopping till we kill 3 of yours! Well, you killed 3 of ours so we need to kill at least 4 of yours! and so on...

    Stupid people

    I think the ratio is 1 christian for every 100 heathens, pagans and atheists.
