Hamas and Hezbollah. Do you need to know the difference?

Umm, yea I've already posted the 100-200 million dollars in funding by Iran. You still have no evidence that there was a spike in funding after the 06 war. The link clearly stated that analysts upgraded estimated annual funding. So no, it's not like you just said.

Next, you're assertion that southern Lebanon was a desert wasteland before the 06, just shows how little you know.

Israel destroyed or damaged in south Lebanon 1489 buildings, 21 of 29 bridges over the Litani river, 535 sections of road and 545 cultivated fields during its 34-day military offensive.

Hardly a indication of pre-conflict wasteland.
Do you just make this shit up as you go?

Next, Hezbollah scored a PR victory by fighting the most capable military force in the Middle East to a stalemate, this is true. That "victory" cost Lebanon Almost 9.5 billion dollars, and 40% of GDP. But the strategic advantage still belongs to the IDF. You're completely obsessed with the short term, when Israel thinks long term when it comes to security.

1500 buildings isn't nothing is a country the size of Lebanon, glad you think that. Not sure the inhabitants of Southern Lebanon would agree with you. Apparently you've never looked at the map of the Middle East. You can google bud, I suggest you that before you make another stupid assertion. Once again, I'll try to make this simple so you can understand.


Hezbollah's PR victory cost Lebanon a estimated 9.5 Billion USD, that's 40% of the country's GDP. Do you understand simple math? When you look at the big picture, the real losers in 06 conflict were the Lebenese people.

The cost to Israel of the war is covered in American aid.

For the last nine years, Hezbollah hasn't attempted cross border raids, and there's only been 15 separate rocket attacks resulting in little damage, So yes, the long term outlook since the 06 war, as been favorable for Israel's security concerns on their northern border.

If you weren't on PF's Persian cheerleading squad, you'd might be able to take a objective look.

They both start with "H". Know what else starts with "H"? HEATHENS. That's all you need to know.
