Foolish Israelis...they should still be bombing southern lebanon. Nonstop for months/years/decades until the JOB is finished. Every Muslim army in history sues for cease fires/negotiations until they rebuild their military strength to attack again. There have been NO exceptions.

History shows that if you continue down a path of conquering and forced slavery eventually you the agressor will fall. One can defeat the whole world. The romans tried heck they did a good job but eventually over time there subjects turned against there roman aggresors.
ok Every body knows israel won the wars back in the 1960s or whatever
But what is sad is that these palestinians are being killed humilliated tortured mothers burying there sons etc If you want peace you dont build a house on your neighbors lawn. If you want peace you dont kill kids for throwing rocks at a tank. I mean come on israel will be fighting i predict for the next 1000 years if it keeps its policy of targeted agression .. they have nukes but they wont use it because God would never forgive them know matter what the cost

..... According to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, Hezbollah is not allowed.....

Well, the cancer cell zionists are not allowed to conduct flying sorties or crossing the border according the same UN BS, but they do...

About the remark, bombing Hezbollah for years, one thing you should keep in your empty head. Until the 33 days war in summer 06, you zionists had been fighting corrupted arab leaders. From now on you have a whole different resistance. Your leaders know it and you will feel it much better in near future.

Another proof that the UNIFIL is worthless and that the terrorist private militia hizbollah does want it wants when it wants regardless of any UN stipulations or rules. Israel stopped its attack on hizbollah precisely because the UN promised (a) that it would arrange to free the Israeli captives and (b) would impose strict guidelines that deny weapon re-supplying of hizbollah by Syria and (c) not allow hizbollah to roam anywhere and conduct military exercises or buildups in certain areas.

The UN has failed miserable on all counts. The Israel captives aren't allowed even Red Cross visitation and in fact even whether they exist at all is kept a secret. Syria has re-armed hizbollah with perhaps a greater arsenal then before and Hizbollah conducts military palnning in areas that were supposed to be off limits to them. If there is another confrontation between Israel and hizbollah, any 'ceasefire' based on UN promises should be ignored.

Hizbollah and their Iranian backers lost alot of in the 33 day war with Israel. Their head honcho, Nasrallah likes to say they won but if losing over 600 gunmen --- He never acknowledged or paid tribute to his own dead soldiers because to do so would give Israel a propaganda coup so he let them die in silence without any honor- a real Arab leader he is and having rubble instead of buildings is called 'winning', I would like to see them 'win' even bigger next time.

I think the outcome would have been a little different if US peacekeepers were involved.

Eventually the State of Israel will collapse from within or it will be reduced to ashes by others in the world who are not arab or from the Middle East, but are tired of Israel atrocities and war crimes. Israel is creating more and more enemies each day by its treatment of the Palestinians.

Many in the US despise Israel and want the US to sever ties with Israel, but the US will not do it at this time. However, with Israel's continual spying and stealing secret intelligence, it's just a matter of time before Israel does something unforgiveable. That's when the US will break ties with Israel. I hope it happens sooner than later.
