Middle East Inside Line: War between Hezbollah and Israel?
Monday, January 25, 2010 at 8:24
This weekend, following The Washington Post's report that Hizbullah had moved long-range-missile launch pads into both northern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, Israel's Minister-without-Portfolio Yossi Peled said that another war with Hezbullah was "inevitable". Peled continued:
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not see eye to eye with Peled. A statement issued by his office assured, "The State of Israel does not want any confrontation with Lebanon."
Without a doubt we are heading for another round (of fighting) in the North. No one knows when, but it's clear that it will happen. We did not know that the Second Lebanon War was going to break out.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not see eye to eye with Peled. A statement issued by his office assured, "The State of Israel does not want any confrontation with Lebanon."

Shame on you, EA. You describe Hezbollah in the above item as a 'terrorist group'. Surely you are free to use more accurate terminology. If not, your credibility will take a hit.
Fred, can you please clarify your point? What makes you get that impression above?
The posting I refer to has apparently been corrected. If, however, I am guilty of misreading, and therefore mistakenly accusing EA, shame on me.
