Israel and Hezbollah

A peace treaty between Palestine (whoever that is), Israel, Lebanon, and Syria has brought nothing to the area. Hezbollah used the opportunity to move weapons into the southern Lebanon area in preparation to attack Israel while Israel was removing squatters from the Israeli-occupied areas. There was alot Israeli emotion behind adhering to this treaty and when all was said and done, Israel lived up to its part. However, other anti-Israel political and terrorist organizations would or could not allow for it.

Citizens from both the Gaza strip and Lebanon CROSSSED the border and kipnapped Israeli citizens. Paramilitary organizations (also known as terrorists) started bombing (using rockets) Israel indiscriminately. These organizations wanted to use the "prisoners" as leverage to further barter with Israel for the release of prisoners Israel had captured prior to the treaty.

From Israel's perspective, what good is a peace treaty or "cease-fire" when those who sign it continually show no intergrity? Any agreement is AND WILL ALWAYS BE worthless. From Israel's perspective, they get nothing but temporary peace until the other side decides to wage war again.

The war is between two peoples with the following motives: Israel - the desire to exist, Radical Islam - Jews to be exterminated. Make no mistake about it. These are and have been their respective goals since 1948 as witnessed through their leaders and literature.

The only way that Israel can find a lasting peace is to eliminate the threat of those who desire their destruction.

Who is more just? Those who seek to merely exist in peace or those who seek genocide for their enemy?
