POPSIsrael-Lebanon War Part II Coming Soon Especially as the US transitions to a new President, Israel will be sure to provoke and establish its agenda (and the neocons) for the next administration to support. Note the misleading sub headline, as if Israel's war is restricted to Hezbollah, while last time they bombed over 70 percent of Lebanon's civilian infrastructure which brought only faint and temporary cries of protest from Congress as "disproportionate response".

POPSLebanon: The 33-Day War Nasrallah defined the practical position of his movement as such: to abide by the ceasefire; to fully cooperate with "all that can facilitate the return of our displaced and refugee people to their homes, to their houses, and all that can facilitate humanitarian and rescue operations." He did so while expressing the readiness of his movement to continue the legitimate fight against the Israeli army as long as it remains in Lebanese territory, though he offered to respect the 1996 agreement whereby operations of both sides would be restricted to military targets and spare civilians. In this regard, Nasrallah stressed that his movement started shelling northern Israel only as a reaction to Israel's bombing of Lebanon after the July 12 operation, and that Israel was to be blamed for extending the war to the civilians in the first place.
