......yet so much controversy just recently when, although UNrecognized as a separate military WITHin AN 'OFFICICAL' Lebanese government military, Hizzbollah gave measely $12,000
payments to each INNOCENT Lebanese family whose homes/apartments had been destroyed by Israeli bombs?
Israel gave these now EX-settlers' families tens of thousands of dollars EACH.
This was US tax dollars funding new housing for these families.
The monies these Lebanese families received did not come from American taxpayers.
...and before you zero in on Hizzbollah's contributions, look at it this way also....It' s like your credit card company or mortgage company when payments are overdue: They don't really care where you get the payments from. They just want to be paid.
...The DISPLACED INNOCENT Lebanese people didn't much care where the money came from either. They just wanted a roof over their heads.....and food to eat

Good for Israel, giving money to ex-settlers for leaving their homes behind.
Are you asking why Israel doesn't give money to people in Lebanon whose homes they bombed? I guess because it was a military operation aimed at destroying Hezbollah. And Hezbollah was entrenched in Lebanon. Israel now has its own homes to repair, due to the rockets fired at them by Hezbollah terrorists. They need to take care of their own people first.
Just a note: According to your suggestion, why isn't Hezbollah giving money to repair the damage they did to Israeli homes?
