AC, always the Arab apologist. You get to saying that somehow some Arab faction might be at fault, but you leave it vague so as not to have to assign blame to an Arab faction while always assigning same to Israel upon much less evidence or reasoning.

You say you don't know? What does that mean? Is there another logical possibility in the situation where Lebanon won't take action against Hezbollah other than the 2 even you see of "unwilling" and "unable"? If you cannot give another reasonable 3rd possibility other than those two (and in fact acknowledge that it doesn't even matter which of the 2 is true because the effect is the same), then it is dishonest for you to say you don't know and that it is only "possible".

They are willing and they are able but Allah told them to stay out of it. (Of course Allah speaks from many places, including Tehran and Damascus)

Well, when I dont know, I dont know.

Seems when you dont know you assume the worst.

And, yes there are other possibilities: for one the government is very new, since Syria left. Perhaps it was in discussions. Besides all that the Hezbollah has been relatively quiet for years (my understanding is that there have been more cross border transgressions by Israel over the past few years than vice versa - I am thinking of air space violations.

So, when I concede I dont know, accept it. I DONT KNOW. Learn to think in other than black and white.
