Hizbullah's brazen stunt

This could be why (as I posted earlier in the Syria Roundup) Israel was conducting aggressive overflights of Lebanon:

Nasrallah's Kidnap Plan Boomerangs

Israel was ready for this stunt, and made Hizbullah pay for it.

Seems like Nasrallah is acting like Syria's stooge. If he wants his people and/or bodies back, he is going to have to wait till the organization signs a peace agreement with Israel (not going to happen if you ask me.) Maybe someone should explain to him that in a war, prisoners are not exchanged until AFTER the war is over.

This should be no surprise, the UN (un)Security Council failed to agree on how to condemn the violence. Like that would have any affect anyway. Algeria and the US couldn't agree. Now why would that be? Algeria did not want to lay the blame on Hizbullah. Excuse me? It is easy to see how this started, but you have to look at reality straight in the face. If you can not look at reality, then it is easy to see how this is ALL Israel's fault.

France wanted to condemn the military exchanges started by Hizbullah AND condemn Israel for violating Lebanon's airspace.

So let's put this in a different light. Suppose that Israel allowed terrorists to operate from their soil, and those terrorists blew up bombs in neighboring countries. Now how do you think that Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan would respond? Not exactly the same way that the world expects Israel to respond.

[Update] Naharent is reporting that Hizbullah is claiming Israel started this:

The UN peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL squarely blamed Hizbullah for igniting the new wave of hostilities. But Hizbullah parliament member Ali Ammar said Party of God fighters went into action when an Israeli mechanized patrol penetrated the Blue Line shortly before sundown Monday. Ammar also denied that Hizbullah motorcyclists had stormed across the Border on hostage-taking forays into Jewish settlements.
