Mark Steyn reminds us in a must read article:
Afew years back, when folks talked airily about "the Middle East peace process" and "a two-state solution," I used to say that the trouble was the Palestinians saw a two-state solution as an interim stage en route to a one-state solution. I underestimated Islamist depravity. As we now see in Gaza and southern Lebanon, any two-state solution would be an interim stage en route to a no-state solution.
In one of the most admirably straightforward of Islamist declarations, Hussein Massawi, the Hezbollah leader behind the slaughter of U.S. and French forces 20 years ago, put it this way:
"We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you."
Iranian Soldiers Dead in Lebanon "Yeah ok, keep telling us Iran is not behind this war started by their proxy Hezbollah."

Via LGF we get a sample of objects Hizballah is placing in their Katyusha terror rockets. Click for more pictures that were sent in by an LGF reader in Israel showing the type of damage these objects cause.
The shocking demonstrations supporting the terrorists and condeming Israel continue around the United States and the world. For links, scroll to the end of this post."We are all Hezbollah now"

No, not this demonstration in London, but this equally shameless CNN reporting in Lebanon:
After the Eason Jordan affair in Iraq, does anyone trust CNN's reporting when it comes to terrorists?
