My understanding of the Israel-Hezbollah Conflict

[tongodeon]

I intended to post this a week or two ago, but the Syria/Lebanon/Israel/iran issue is rather complicated. It's taken me a lot of reading to untangle the threads and make sense of what's going on over there. Incidentally that's my major problem with almost every opinion piece I've seen written about the issue: there are many uncomfortable truths

I can't find a single thing with which to argue here. (Of course that could just mean that we're both wrong, but I have a great deal of respect for your opinion, especially when it comes to politics and world events, so I'm just grateful someone could lay out the facts and arguments better than I could.)

Please friend me.
I observe that there are no civilians in the middle East. Everyone, Israeli or Arab is a potential killing enemy of the other. So if you subtract the issue of civilians from the article you are left with one-upmanship.
Israeli's are trained to be instant soldiers. The Arab world is armed and committed to the destruction of Israel. Therefore --

(As Morrisa's Jewish Mother this is not a comfortable solution for me)

The only solution is the "final solution of the "Third Reich" the destruction of all Jews which now translates into Israel.

Then, of course, the Arabs would be free to turn on each other as they have in Iraq. The Iraqis can also go back to fighting the Iranians. Then people in America can write more articles and blogs

Pretty much. It's not just Arabs either.
