Hezbollah is also a humanitarian agency that is the primary distributor of food aid, medical aid and education in southern Lebanon.
So glibly implying that Lebanon has some kind of control of Hezbollah and is thus responsible for their actions is false and incoporates and laughably simplistic outlook on the situation.

If Lebanon can't disarm or force the Hezbollah to stop thier attacks on Israel, and the UN hasen't been able to stop these attacks, then it comes down to Israel to protect thier citizen's so in my mind, that justifies Israel's response.
who gives a crap if Hezbollah is a humanitarian agency, its akin to saying that what Hitler did could be justified because he fed his people. The world would be a better place if Hezbollah was erased from the southern terrorities
Sorry, If Lenanon wants to consider itself to be an actual government in charge of an actual nation it has to bring these elements to heel. What really ****es me off is that people are giving them a free pass here. Lebanon should be demanding more action from the Hezbollah members in thier own government.
And its not that simplistic for Israel to expect its neighbours to keep these lunatics from murdering its citizen's with rocket attacks from thier territory.
You can't give a free pass because you can't control them.
