Remember, in their opinion, as long as parts of Lebanon are occupied, Hizbullah is still at war with Israel. That this incident occurred on the border rather than, like last time, on the Golan Heights is unessential. Hizbullah has conducted numerous raids across the border since the Israeli general withdrawal. Israel has also captured many Hizbullah militiamen. In my opinion, they shouldn’t venture into Israel at all.

Detestable indeed. That would be the indiscriminate bombardments I mentioned.

No choice eh? Hizbullah is hiding behind civilians, so that is why roads, bridges, residential areas, and Beirut airport had to be bombed? Israel is terrorizing the Lebanese populace. Period.

Tanks, aircraft, smart bombs, warships, and some of the most highly trained combat troops in the world versus unskilled militiamen. A massacre. But you are quite right, Hizbullah’s armed wing should never have retaliated with terror against the Israeli terror-bombardments in Lebanon. In fact, Hizbullah’s armed wing should be disarmed and disbanded. Preferably sooner rather than later.

And I’d love to tell you into which body opening you can insert the “your brave warriors” comment.

Until they disband the armed wing, I’m inclined to agree.
