Do you rise up with your neighbors and throw the armed men out? Hell no, they will kill you. So the rockets are fired and the guerrillas move to a new neighborhood. Next thing that occurs is your neighborhood is destroyed by Israeli bombs. What the crud are you supposed to do? Your government cannot control the guerillas.

1. The guerrillas are willing to sacrifice you and your family for the "greater" war.
2. Israel will hit the neighborhood knowing full well civilians that live there that have nothing to do with the war will be killed even, if you have been warned to leave, your life is destroyed.

And now on a Palestinian "Representative" says the Hezbollah kidnappings were a natural reaction to what was happening in Gaza. And the Hezbollah missles are an attempt to defend themselves?????? Exactly what, as a peaceful person living in Lebanon, are you supposed to do? Who do you hate for this? Who do you blame for ruining your livelyhood?

It is complex. But its pretty clear to me what the answers to these questions are.
