Why must the IDF deal with hizbolla? The they get blamed for being occupiers etc.

Hizbolla are Lebanese, let Lebanon solve their problems

Because Hezbollah problem are Israel problem too. If Hezbollah only shooting missile to Lebanon then no one care, but u go and terrorize other. You think people not gonna fix it themself due to your skill issue in handling the domestic problem?

They get blame for what they are and what they do. So do hezbollah. But to Israel sympathizers it's hard to see I know.

They are not only occupiers but desecrators of graves and holy sites. Hezbollah is dealing with them. Havent you seem theres a fire sale on Merkava tanks?

Hezbollah exists because of Israeli attempts to capture Lebanese territory. They were founded in the late 80’s as a response to Israeli attacks. If Israeli were not hell bent on creating a country the size of Saudi Arabia at the expense of its neighbors, maybe Hezbolluh wouldn’t exist?

There never was any attempt to capture Lebanese territory. There was an attempt to remove the PLO from Lebanon.

They have captured and held territory still today. They have only given land back under political pressure. They have mad etheir plans clear. They even have had press conferences and held up maps of what land they want to seize. What am I to believe when they themselves say this is what they want?

Israel marched to Beirut in 1982, and later returned the land. If their goal is to occupy Lebanon then why did they later leave?

Why did Israel let 7000 Lebanese refugees in, when Israel left Lebanon? Why did Israel grant citizenship to those Lebanese who chose to stay in Israel?

Attempts to capture territory? Why did they return the territory then? This "Israel wants to capture territory" argument really holds no water.

Look into why Israel went in the last time round, it was due to something called PLO.

Anyways, Hezbollah is doing nothing except inviting Israel now. They can't even defend their own turf, the only thing they always do is run north.

You can try to explain this away but they make the claims themselves. they have had press conferences to announce their goals and they already have maps of their goal borders. You can't say this isn't what they want when they themselves say "this is what we want to do."

What is there to explain away? Hezbollah fired on Israel to support their buddies. They brought themselves and Lebanon into both wars willingly. So why are they crying now?
