Hezbollah is a group that is kind of like 'stationed' in Lebanon. Some consider them a terrorist group but not like Al Qu. because they focus on Israel much like the Palestines. They also play a role in the Lebonese government.
Israel was at war with the Hez. group up until 1994 (date is somewhere around there) when they had a sieze fire. If I'm not mistaken Clinton was involved in that.
Ok now, basically out of nowhere Hez. comes across the Israeli border and kidnaps some soldiers then commences to start sending a few missiles into Israel's 3rd largerst city.
Israel then used it's air force to start bombing the Hez. main base in Lebanon. When you use bombs from planes, like we did in Iraq, you end up with a lot of collateral damage... innocent ppl dieing. So, this has gotten the actual lebanese ppl ticked off too because a lot of non-Hez. are dieing.
Also, the weapons that Hez. suddenly seems to have (the aerial missiles) appear to all be coming from Iran. Some are suspecting Syria is supporting them also. This is complicating the issue enormously.
Lastly, the most current problem is that Israel is no longer willing to just accept the return of its soldiers. They are now so ticked off and tired of this repeating itself that they are talking about not quitting until Hez. is completely disarmed and demobilized. I heard this myself tonight right out of the mouth of Dan Gillerman, Israeli ambassador to the UN, in a Charlie Rose interview on PBS.

I doubt that Israel may nuke'em, yet i imagine that the Jewish state may pummel Lebanon into the darkish a lengthy time period making use of common guns. keep in recommendations, Lebanon is so on the point of Israel, a nuclear bomb dropped there may probably have detrimental outcomes for the Jews. Plus, Lebanon has no longer the cutting-area warfare gadget made typically by using Uncle Sam, like the Jews do.

Well I think that Israel has every right to defend their territory from islamic terrorists. If a group of terrorists in a concentrated area in Mexico came across our border and killed and took soldiers hostage, you better believe we'd bomb the hell out of them. Although I am not Jewish or have family or friends in Israel, I believe they feel that enough is enough. They try and try to appease the Palestinians yet they continue to get violence in return. Plus I believe the world will end in the next 5 to 10 yrs. due to all of the world problems with rogue administrations in North Korea and Iran. This Israeli conflict may just be the trigger for this to occur.

israel doesnt hesitate to kill innocent civilians because israel and usa are above all international laws and UN resolutions
when people defend their countries its called self-defence
when arabs defend their countries they are called terrorists!!!
suddenly all the world is worried about the two israeli soldiers
while hundreds of lebanese civilians and thousands of palestinians have been in israeli prisons for over 20 years with no just reason!!!!!!!
wake up... its time to know how biased the western media is
CNN, BBC ,,,,, all change the truth in favor of israel and its goals

Hezbollah should get a squad of suicide bomber (50-60) & get into isreal & blowup every large group of jews.
If isreal retaliates get out their store of nerve gas & load then into their rocket & wipeout the jewish dogs as they should be (the bible says so)
