"Are Israel's enemies not allowed to fight at all? If they have to audacity to challenge Israel in any way, do they automatically become terrorists? Is arguing with Israel also an act of terrorism? These days I wouldn't be surprised. I imagine they'll call it verbal terrorism. Sorry, I didn't mean to give them any ideas."Why is Israel allowed to take bold and aggressive military action (let alone the US) and no one is allowed to respond? If anyone has the nerve to fight back -- terrorists!
"I wonder how many of us would be "terrorists" if we were attacked and occupied by a foreign country?"

This Isrealis will become terrorists when they start targetting civillians; when they grade the success of their military operations by the number of civillians that they kill and by the amount of terror that they inspire amoung civilians.
As Six has pointed out, if people in Lebannon stopped attacking people in Isreal, nobody in Isreal would attack anybody in Lebannon and the Lebannese borderw would not shrink by a single inch. Conversely, if people in Isreal stopped all attacks on Lebannon, the attacks from Lebannon on Isreali civilian targets would increase.
A different (better, even) question:
If you launch attacks targetting civillians from hideouts amoungst civillians, is there any possible way for your enemy to counter-attack without killing civillians?
Consider these questions, and their obvious answers:
1) What does Hezbollah want of Isreal?
Answer 1: To cease existing, even if that means the death of every resident in Isreal.
Answer 2: In the meantime, to kill as many Isreali civillians as possible, and to cause survivers to live in *terror* of their northern neighbors.
Answer 3: Also, to provoke Isreali military responses that kill civilians, the more the better.
2) What does Isreal want of Lebannon?
Answer1: To economically thrive, establish friendly relations with Isreal, and establish a government in which its people have religious and other natural, universal rights.
Answer2: In conflicts with Hezbollah, zero deaths of any non-combatants. Civillian deaths harm Isreal's objective of peaceful and prosperous relations with the people of Lebannon. Conversely, lack of civillian deaths undermines Hezbollah's goal of achieving a maximum amount of anti-Isrealli sentiment within Lebannon and the world.
3) What does Hezbollah want of Lebannon?
Answer1: An islamic dictatorship in which people have no freedoms of religion, thought, speach, or conduct.
Answer2: A maximum amount of anti-Isreali sentiment.
4) Who benefits from civillian deaths in Lebannon from Isrealli attacks? Hezbollah, because it increases anti-Isreali sentiment.
5) Who benefits from civillian deaths in Isreal from Hezbollah attacks? Hezbollah, because it increased terror amoungst the Isrealis.
6) What do Isrealis want of the muslims that reside in Isreal? To live and prosper and enjoy the right to worship and express themselves, and to participate democratically in Isreal's democratic government.
7) What do Hezbollazis require of jews and christians and athiests who live in areas under their control? Forced conversion, or expulsion or death, with no right to object.
That's some nice bunch of "freedom fighters" you've alligned yourself with, Nadir! Where would *you* rather live, in Isreal, or in a nation run according to Hezbollah's fantasies?
