Hassan Nasrallah yesterday defined his cease-fire model: "When you stop attacking our cities and villages, we won't attack a single Israeli community."

<snip>

The cease-fire consists of three components - stopping Israel's attacks, removing all Israeli troops from Lebanese soil, and returning the Lebanese refugees to the villages they fled from in the south of the country; in other words, restoring the pre-July 12 situation.

<snip>

Hezbollah is conducting a violent dialogue not only with Israel but with the Lebanese government, using the present stage of the campaign to set the terms for the arrangement now being drafted in various world capitals.

<snip>

By declaring his own separate conditions, Nasrallah is claiming a right to veto any Lebanese government decisions, and establishing himself as a central power that must be reckoned with. He is saying that any agreement with Lebanon will be invalid without his approval.

7. To me its not a binary thing

There is more than enough blame to go around. Israel, US, the UN, EU, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Saudia Arabia etc all have blood on their hands.
