"Well, at least the Israeli bad guys aren't attacking people all over the world."

So that's all right then - Israel is quite within it's rights to bomb innocent civilians under the guise of defending itself.

Hezbollah aren't attacking people all over the world either, and never have done (with the exception of attacks on Isreali and Jewish targets in Buenos Aires and London, neither of which were ever proved to be Hezbollah attacks and may well have been the work of other Arab militants). Hezbollah (formed after Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the early 1980s) have won the hearts and minds of many in Lebanon after starting many social development projects in the region which have benefitted the people who lived there - ordinary folk from across the religious spectrum.

Of course none of this excuses the fact that Hezbollah, like Israel, are engaged in the indiscrimiate slaughter of innocent people, but don't try to oversimplify the situation by suggesting they are al Quaeda or some sort of global terrorist force. That type of rubbish may be what the White House and Yo Blair would like everyone to think, but hopefully most people will have more intelligence than to fall for that weak propagandist tripe.
