This question is now being raised not only around the world, but also in Israel itself. Clearly, there is a huge gap between the army's boastful arrogance, on which generations of Israelis have grown up, and the picture presented by this war.
On the 32nd day of the war, Hizbullah is still standing and fighting. That by itself is a stunning feat: a small guerilla organization, with a few thousand fighters, is standing up to one of the strongest armies in the world and has not been broken after a month of failing attempts to "pulverize" it.

I love that! I truly wish that fighting would stop, but the fact that Hezbullah are still fighting against one of the most powerful military in the world is truly the stuff that goes in history books. You are correct in making the correlation between the Israeli army and the Nazis. It's time for American to wake up and smell the US funded genocide!

i think you have completely misread the aims fo the two sides. Hezbollah celebrates the fact that any of its fighters is not dead as a victory. The civilians put in the line of fire are not mourned and as long as Nasrallah successfully hid so he could make more cowardly threats he can claim he "won." Israel's army, a model of restraint, has secured (at least on paper) the two major aims -- the return of the kidnapped soldiers and and the disarming of hezbollah. Israel is not looking to "win" but to remove a threat. If UN Res. 1701 is implemented, israel will have gotten what it wants and hezbollah will have been militarily dismantled (read the full text if you want proof that that is the point http://bbsnews.net/article.php/20060812184342905 )
The bottom line is that Israel's army remains a powerful structure which values human life and hezbollah is subject to disarmament and is seen as the source of the death of countless of lebanese and israeli civilains. if this is "victory" to hezbollah, so be it. I live in the real world.

The Warsaw Uprising lasted 62 days and they were fighting REAL Nazis without any outside assistance. They took nearly 300,000 casualties. Not a towelhead in the bunch, on either side; more than a few Jews, though. Compared to those guys, Hizbullah are a bunch of pastry chefs.

If the Hezbollah would quit hiding in and around the civilians I'm sure the Israeli's would have been a lot swifter.
They are trying to shoot around people and in war that is almost impossible.
They are not standing up the are hiding. Any ground fighting has been disastrous for Hezbollah.

Hizbollah is getting the hell beat out of it. It is not surprising to me that it still exists. The army is hardly nazi. They aren't trying to erradicate Lebanon, or shiite muslims, just get rid of a military who objective is eradication of its own city state. This defense is the primary objective of a country and can't actually be denied Israel. You have a bigoted perspective. Defend Hizbollah as freedom fighters as you will, but there is little defense for them kidnapping people using sophisticated military tunnel networks and spending Lebanese infrastructure and lives to further their goals. Simply put, they attacked and ended peace...

The Israelis havent won because of international pressure on them to lose. If they could, they would bomb out the Lebanese cities just like EVERY OTHER COUNTRY DOES and kill all the terrorists...but then the world would get on their backside in their normal unfair biased manner and yell at them for killing "innocent civilians"

Israel could wipe Lebanon off the map if they wanted. International pressure has hindered them from an all out onslaught. You are delusional if you think they are the 'evil' ones in this fight. Hezbollah is bombing Israel without any thought of consequence. Israel has done everything it possibly can to only target Hezbollah. I am sick of this b.s. propaganda you radicals are using to try and sway support for your anti-semetic agenda. Biomimetik...go **** yourself.

that's what happens when you try to do the "right" thing and selectively pick targets. carpet bombing, that's the way to win a war.

you sir, are an *****
just because the hezbollah hide amidst the civilians by no means suggests their superiority.
They are nothing more than PUSS IES that are unwilling to face the enemy like real men!
They are cowards.
They are pigs.
They are unclean.
They are disgusting servants of their father Satan.
