>>>Look, 95+ percent of the people here, the so-called public opinion, don't remember, and probably have never heard, that Israel was regularly violating the truce. For them, it all began when Hezbollah attacked. And that's also the current administration's story as well. CNN as a weapon, remember?

>>You make it sound like Israel is to blame. BOTH sides regularly violated it. Usually - but not always - Hezbollah attacks, Israel responds. See http://www.aijac.org.au/resources/hezb_00-06.html.

Well, I reckon they got their information from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Which I'm sure you will also dismiss as biased.

Wikipedia lists the following:

* On October 7 2000, Hezbollah kidnapped (captured) three IDF soldiers from the Mt. Dov sector: Adi Avitan, Omer Soued and Binyamin Avraham .
* On March 12 2002, In a Hezbollah shooting attack on the Shlomi-Metzuba route in northern Israel, Six Israelis civilians were killed.
* On August 10 2003, a 16 year old Israeli boy was killed by shrapnel from an anti-aircraft shell fired by Hezbollah, and four others were wounded.
* On April 7 2005, Two Israeli-Arabs from the village Rajar near the Israel-Lebanon border were abducted by Hezbollah operatives. They were later released.

There are other, more neutral web sites that list past Hezbollah activities as well, but the noise level on Google is pretty high at the moment.

You can cast Israel as the villian all you want, but the truth of the matter is that Hezbollah has been going after them for years, and the Israelis don't hesitate to retaliate.
