There will never be peace in the Middle East.
It's the age old battle of Richerd 1st v Saladin. Christian v Muslim.
It'll never change.
Israel is a milatary outpost belonging to the USA. Take a look at the weapons the Israelis are using - all American.
Israel has more than 200 nuclear warheads yet they don't belong to the nuclear 'club'. They are simply an arm of the USA military machine.
They ignore the UN completely.
They obey the US implicitly.
As far as Hisbollah goes - they are a military outpost of Iran. (Leaders of Saladin's old setup).
Take a look at their weapons - all Syrian and Iranian.
You cannot bomb South Lebanon without killing civilians - as the civilians are Hisbollah and their families and Hisbollah are the civillians.
Why does Hisbollah have so many missiles? (over 12,000 of them)
It's not for defence as they are surrounded by their allies Syria and Iran.
It could only be to attack Israel.
So the game is Iran attacks America through Hisbollah and America attacks Iran through Israel.
A good little punch-up where the real protagonists don't get hurt. It's a sort of 'war by proxy'.

I'm not very clear as to what Hezbollah's real aim is. Some say that they do not want Israel out of Israel, but Israel out of the disputed territories seized by Israel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah
Maybe they even want the repatriation of the Palestinian people with a self-governed Palestinian homeland.
Others may well say Hezbollah's main aim is to remove Israel from the map. Unfortunately, there are serious axes to grind on many sides and we usually won't hear the truth, whatever that may be. Each side wishes to demonise the other and portray their own course of actions as the only reasonable option in the circumstances.
It appears to me that maybe Ariel Sharon, whose past is not without censure, may have taken a huge step towards a lasting peace with plans to withdraw from disputed territories unilaterally, before his untimely ill-health.
Now we appear to be going backwards with certain countries stirring the pot, as others have rightly said.
I still believe a two state solution is the way forward and ultimately this has to happen or we will continue with potentially escalating violence in the region and spread abroad.

I agree about the Arab governments apparent silence. With the right intentions they could play a major role in brokering a peace, as could America. Why they don't appear to be doing so is sad.
As you rightly say, there are many rivalries especially between Shi'ites and Sunnis but also many very unstable or dictatorial states don't help.

If you don't like to see photos like that, then stop coming here saying that things like that should happen.
And a reminder to the mods:
Your removal of that photo was another example of your hypocrisy and bias, and has not gone un-noticed, and as you can see from comments I'm not the only one who thinks you were wrong to do this.
