In answer to your question, ponydriver:
One of the most horrific things any terrorist could do - something that is everyone's worst nightmare scenario - is something the hezbollah is guilty of. When they're searching for someone in an area they occupy, they grab random young people (teenagers who live in the neighborhood) around the neck and hold them in front of them as human shields as they search with their weapons drawn. Sometimes the hostages are killed in the process and sometimes they are made to drag out the bodies of the people killed.
That image is horrific and would make anyone's blood boil. It's like something from a movie, but it's real with no fake blood or special effects. If one of the hostages were, heaven forbid, a relative, you'd want revenge and would be capable of strangling the terrorist with your bare hands, wouldn't you?
The tactic is called the "neighbor procedure," and it has been an
Israeli military tactic, not a hezbollah tactic. You think I'm nuts or making it up, right?
Well, the Supreme Court of Israel had a hard time stomaching it, even though the government attempted to justify it. Even after the Supreme Court placed a temporary ban on it, the IDF continued to do it in violation of their own Supreme Court because it had become part of the culture of the Israeli military.
The Israeli Supreme Court documents are available.
LinkThis just illustrates the futility of the region. It seems as if everyone on both sides has a personal grudge, or knows someone with a personal grudge and the cycle continues.
There are many villians on both sides.
