Israel and the movement of things

[Kralizec]

But honestly, what have they really done to reign in Hezbollah? Have they made any arrests, closed down any headquarters, stopped any arms shipments coming in from Syria and Iran? While Hezbollah's number 1 goal is the destruction of Israel, continuing a pro-Syrian regime is a very close second. Did the Lebanese independists think that Hezbollah was just going to sit by and watch them toss all the Syrians out?

Trying to disband Hezbollah would have resulted in nothing less then another civil war. Do you think that's a reasonable thing to ask from the Lebanese?

For many Lebanese Hezbollah is foremost a liberator that drove away Israel that occupied and screwed over part of their country for almost 20 years. For us it's easy to make a global assesment of the situation, but if you and I were born and raised in Lebanon neither of us would be at the forefront of tearing down Hezbollah.

Israels approach of acting without any regard for the official Lebanese government is playing into Hezbollahs hands, it adds to the image that they're calling the shots in Lebanon and will probably gain them more real influence.
