That's a bit of a harsh view.
Yeah, I'd say that Hezbollah are definatly a fundamentalist group, but you can't really fault Isreal for this kind of respose.
Puttin aside whether or not you beleive Isreal should have ever been created, you have to admit that it's pretty tough for a country that is surrounded by neighbours that don't think the people there have a right to live, let alone have their own country.
There isn't much we can do to fix the fact that rightly or wrongly Isreal was carved out and set up as the jewish homeland. Sure most of the groups that are dedicated to doing away with Isreal are crazy Fundamentalists, but does that mean that the soldiers and government of Isreal are on the same level? I'd say no. The whole country can't just pack up and leave, so at this point I'd chalk their "Fundamentalisim" up to a desire to keep living.
Sure I'd love to see Isreal stop lobbing rockets into Palestine, Lebanon, or where ever else, but right now they have no choice, as if they don't show their strength when things like this happen, they're pretty much dooming themselves.
It's a crappy situation that is surely being made worse by teh religious differences in the area, but the problem was created out of politics.
