Israel is getting hit from rockets fired by Hezbollah every day. These aren't isolated incidents, there are loads of the rockets hitting Israel every day and Israel is expected to sit back and think "yeah well if they want to bomb the crap out of us, that's their choice." It's hypocritical for us to condemn them. 9-11 was one incident. A damn big incident but only one incident none the less and yet based on that we launch a massive ground invasion on Afghanistan yet when Israel does the same from constantly bombardment they are internationally condemned. If you take the approach that we have towards Afghanistan and Iraq, Israel pretty much has a moral obligation to go in to Lebanon and destroy Hezbollah. If we should be doing anything it is sending support troops in to help them. And that is only if you class Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation. If you look at it in the way that Hezbollah virtually acts as a government in Lebanon (I realise they have a proper elected government but according to CNN, they are effectively running the country and if you look at it like that it's simply an act of war and so Israel has even more right to fight back and indeed invade and conquer Lebanon if it wishes.
