Problem with this is that the only thing Israel is doing by bombing civlian dense areas is creating a whole new generation of people who will hate them because they lost relatives and friends. Ergo it seems we have come to the old saying of "violence begets violence".
It must be said that Hezbollah is not a terrorist organisation, and is a "political party with civlian and military wings" founded in the 1980s to repel the Israelis after they invaded Lebanon. Also it is interesting to note that Hezbollah (being a political entity that holds seats in parilaiment) provides social services such as hospitals and garbage collection for the Lebanese people.
Heres a lovely quote from one of their head honchos, for all of you that think they're ou to get you:
Hassan Nasrallah tells:
"It is unacceptable, it is forbidden, to harm the innocent. If there are American tourists, or intellectuals, doctors, or professors who have nothing to do with this war, they are innocent, even though they are Americans, and it is forbidden."(source:

So it seems theyre not the monsters you make them out to be (although it must be said they did go and provoke this fight)
But as usua the Israelis over reacted. You all read the article where Hezbollah asked for a prisoner transfer, but it seems that the Israelis feel that its better to keep fighting for some reason.
And whose dumb idea was it to put the Jewish population centre in the middle of the largest concentration of Muslims in the world anyway (and piss them off at the same time too?)?
