I know there's a ceasefire, but how long will that last? Anyway, I think I have a fair idea why they are involved, but am not aware of all the details. One of the public relations people for the Israeli army is also an American, something I found quite odd. Also, American planes carrying supply bombs for Israel were banned from using Shannon as a stop over (even though it's still being used for some 'dodgy' activities to do with Iraq, but that's another story..). Why are they supplying bombs?

America has a puppet regime in the middle east and that regime in the Israeli goverment. The neo-con agenda could not work without implict support from the Jewish State, why because the neo-con agenda conveniently allies with the JEwish State agenda, which is to crush Islam!
You have AIPAC and the ISraeli Lobby which hold significant power when it comes to most decisions made in the UN regarding the middle east and if ISrael don't agree then American follows suit just as much as in the role reversal.
america is setting the agenda now, and for a long time. Plans were amde long ago to completely reshape the persian gulf and secure another 100 years of US hegemony, its called the Plan for a NEw American Century, now disbanded but you can read their documents...Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, all the key players were involved and of course Israel attacking Lebanon is more relavent right now but if they didn't, the US woulda had to, they are clearing the path to Iran and Syria won't be ignored. the end goal, i posit for US military bases across the middle east creating first strike capabilites on China Russia and N. Korea...Lebanon, is pocket change to these guys, but with a string nationalist resistance, and the continuing opposisiton in Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps their plans will fail!!
Supplying bombs because that's what keep the economy flowing i'm afriad, more reason to expect continuing war! hope this helps somewhat

America has been supplying weapons and money to Israel ever since its creation after WWII. Due to sympathy over the treatmeant of Jews in WWII, Isreal was created with the US and Britain drawing the new borders that are Isreal today. As Christains, Americans seem to feel obligated to the Jewish people. Some beleive they will be ultimatly judged by God based on how they treated the Jews. Unfortunatly, this is mostly at the expense of the Muslim people who have been living in the region now defined as the state of Israel, for hundreds of years. They were peacefull people who lived in peace with the small population of Jews that still lived in the area. The vaste majority of the Jews that live in Isreal today were moved in after WWII. They should have been helped to rebuild in Europe where they came from, or at least treated the Muslims who they displaced with great respect. They have no interest in either scenario. They beleive they are God's chosen people and they have the right to displace anyone to go back to their historic homeland. The zionists (not Jews) are arrogant, selfish, shortsighted people, and it is a tragedy that we blindly support everything they do. They take all the best land, they take away the Palestinians water rights, keep them from their jobs, treat them like second class citizens. Arrafat may have been questionable in character, but he did not settle for the treaties because they were not a good deal for his people.
I understand some of Isreal's actions in the current situation. The extreme militants in Lebanon and Palestine are bad people and the only way to stop them is probably with violence, but we should not condone the killilng of innocents along the way. Most Muslims in Palestine and Lebonon just want to live their lives, they are not terroritst. We should not view the world in shuch black and white terms, as to say Isreal is always right, and everyone else in the middle east is wrong. By doing this, Americans are now a target of terrorists as well.

It involves the Middle East. Israel has been our ally since the start. A bit clever of you to frame your question as fighting between Israel and Lebanon, when it is actually Israel and Hezbollah. There would be no fighting or troops into Lebanon had it not been for Hezbollah. Why do you think the Isralis are waiting for Lebanese and UN troops to take their place before they go back home?

issues have been going ok in the section, and have been on a superb music of peace, till a rapid time in the past. Israel became into decrease back gaza to the palestinians and each thing, however the palestinian authority ought to no longer shop the terrorists below administration. Likewise, lebanon became right into a forward moving us of a, yet there hezbollah has engrained itself as a political social gathering... and lebanon for sure cant administration hezbollah and rigidity them to return the two captured infantrymen. the only thank you to remedy this difficulty is amazingly very obtrusive: administration the terrorists. Sounds no longer common, yet have been going approximately all of it incorrect. Terrorist agencies earnings conventional community (civilian) help with the aid of offering products and centers that the state refuses, or can't have adequate money, to grant. as an occasion, hezbollah operates many hospitals in lebanon, a extreme community provider, and in that way the electorate "owe" their help to the corporate. All they might desire to do to whip the rug of help from below the terrorists is make investments extra in the communities of those at-danger international locations. It doesnt take lots... only adequate that the civilians dont would desire to seem to the terrorists for help, and as quickly as that occurs, they wont positioned up with them. they only decide to stay out their lives in peace, yet theyre forced to guard the terrorists as a results of fact of what they supply to human beings.

Because Israel is (was) fighting the same evil we are fighting. I can't see why you are confused, do you understand why we helped Britain in fighting the Nazi's? Same answer goes for why we are helping Israel.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and our only real ally.

We are not involved. We help broker the peace.
And it is not Israel and Lebanon - its Israel and Hezbollah.
