Hezbollah was indeed founded as a direct response to Israeli incursion of a small part of southern Lebanon. However, this occupation ended in May 2000. In order to maintain the legitimacy of Hezbollah, Lebanon then claimed a tiny piece of land in the Golan Heights which is still occupied by Israel but recognised internationally as Syrian territory.

You seem to be suggesting that the current Israeli offensive against Lebanon is a reprisal for actions carried out by the Palestinians. This is simply not true, it is a direct response to actions carried out by the Lebanese.

I don't agree with you here either. Israel has the capability to kick any kind of shit it wants to out of Syria and Iran is situated on the other side of Iraq, safe and secure from Israeli aggression. Which is no doubt why their lunatic President feels so safe in provoking Israel and in using Hezbollah and other factions as puppets in their unofficial proxy-war on all things Zionist. I seriously doubt they would be quite so bold if they were within reach of Israel themselves.
