You need to understand the terrorist mentality, for them, Israeli actions in 2006 were counted as "aggression" and not as a counter-offensive to their act.
Israel's cease-fire agreement was mostly accepted because of the UN assuring Israel that Hizballah would cease arming itself with rockets.Apocalypse, let them attack Israel again and THEN we can speak. They have NOT attacked Israel since 2006, isn't that what Israel wanted ?
I do not care about their charter as much as care about their 32 page letter that they just read to the Lebanese.
Many charters have come and gone, don't you think that actions count more than words ?
They haven't fired a single rocket on Israeli towns since 2006 and they are now talking about DEFENSIVE measures and not OFFENCIVE.
If they ever fire another rocket on Israel, THEN we can speak about the application of the charter.
Israel's cease-fire agreement was mostly accepted because of the UN assuring Israel that Hizballah would cease arming itself with rockets.
Hizballah has sent a message not long ago that they now have rockets that can reach Tel-Aviv and beyond it.
This means that Hizballah has a very real intention to light up the fire all over again, it's not like they've lost public support for the last time.
Things are different now.That's what I said and I think you're refusing to understand. LET THEM FIRTS FIRE ONE SINGLE ROCKET AT ISRAEL AND WE WILL TALK AFTER THAT.
Are you saying that Israel is going to stage a preemptive attack against Lebanon in order to get rid of Hizbollah ? In 2006 it launched a defensive attack and Hizbollah is still there. What are you sugesting should be done ?
I'm all ears.
Things are different now.
Hizballah is part of the Lebanese coalition.
An attack on Israel would mean State of Lebanon attacking State of Israel, that's a war between states, and if the state of Lebanon would target civilians.
I thought you follow Lebanese politics.Hizbollah has been in the government for ages and already was in the government in 2006. The coalition that Hizbollah and the Christians formed did NOT win the elections. The current government is pro-Western.
I thought you follow Lebanese politics.
Hizballah was in the opposition during 2006's Second Lebanon War.
A member of the Coalition attacking Israel is a whole different thing, it means that the government of Lebanon has attacked Israel and it equals to the State of Lebanon attacking Israel.
A parliament is not a government.They already had seats in the Parliament in 2006.
Mira, a parliament is not a government, but the body that establishes and changes the rules in the nation.Lebanese general election, 2009 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preliminary results indicated that the turnout had been as high as 55%.[4] The March 14 Alliance garnered 71 seats in the 128-member parliament, while the March 8 Alliance won 57 seats. This result is virtually the same as the result from the election in 2005. However, the March 14 alliance sees this is a moral victory over Hezbollah, who led the March 8 Alliance, and the balance of power is expected to shift in its favor.[5] Many observers expect to see the emergence of a National Unity Government similar to that created following the Doha Agreement in 2008.[6]
Despite a parliamentary loss, the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, claims to have received a higher percentage of the popular vote than did the March 14 Alliance. Although this figure is non-verifiable, the minority claims that out of the total votes cast, the March 8 Alliance won 55% of the popular vote, while the parliamentary victors, the March 14 Alliance, won only 45%.[7][8]
A parliament is not a government.
Parties that gain a specific number of votes in elections get seats in the parliament.
From the parliament, the prime minister and his elected party join up with other parties from the Parliament that they select, and form the coalition, which is the government of the nation.
The parties in the parliament that were not chosen are forming the opposition.
Hizballah, until a few weeks ago, was never in the Lebanese government, but in the Lebanese Parliament.
It was never in the Lebanese coalition, but in the Lebanese opposition.
A brief lesson about state and law.
Either Hizballah would have to restrain itself from attacking Israel in the future, and especially from attacking Israeli civilians - or the State of Lebanon would have to suffer the consequences for attacking the State of Israel.Yes, you're right, and that gives them more responsibility toward Lebanon. It's rather good news for Israel.
The more you alienate a party the more you they can legitimise guerilla activity which in this case would have been terrorism against Israel.
Either Hizballah would have to restrain itself from attacking Israel in the future, and especially from attacking Israeli civilians - or the State of Lebanon would have to suffer the consequences for attacking the State of Israel.
Hizballah is way more limited now.
A government, by definition, is a coalition of parties that act as the administrating entity of the state.By the way, you got me all mixed up when you called the government a coalition. It's the unity government. There is the March 8 coalition and the March 14 alliance. Hell, even I get mixed up between coalition, alliance, unity :doh
Let them get their act together and push the country forward, that's all waht matters to me.
