Israel vs. Hizbollah

Simply put, it's not looking good.

Israel is bombing the hell out of Lebanon under grounds that Hizbollah has been shooting rockets at Israel over the border and has captured two Israeli soldiers. For those who don't know, Hizbollah is an Islamic Extremist organization, widely considered in the west to be a terrorist organization with power in the area.

Hizbollah rocket attacks have purportedly killed 15 people, whereas Israeli has killed over 300 already confirmed in the fighting.

The UN is urging that the fighting be stopped, claiming that it will cause a humanitarian crisis (and it will). At first the US's position was silence, but once they release an official statement they came out in full support of Israel. And it's only going to get worse. Israel is apparently planning ground-manuvers not just air strikes.

Just about every country in the middle east that's opened its mouth condemns Israel's actions. Mark my words, time will tell, that our support for Israel will be a bigger threat to national security than anything that's happened since 9/11.

I don't think anything exposes the true nature of Israel like this particular detail. A UN outpost on the border badly damaged in all of this. Israel claimed that Hizbollah attacked it with a rocket. But firsthand UN witnesses claim Israeli Artilery Fire is to blame.
