Are you kidding? Do you know what Lebanon was like thirty years ago? I'll give you a hint: It didn't have a strong central government that then ceded authority and autonomy to Syria and Lebanon.

Are the masses of refugees coming out and decrying Hezbollah or Syria. Is their blame spread all around? What would these same innocent cilivilans be saying if the battle went the other way and Hezbollah moved into large parts of Israel and Syria moved into the Golan? I think that in part speaks to their neutrality and innocence.

Why do you think their neutrality and innocence matters, then? And can you understand why they might critical of Israel?
In point of fact, I think there were a lot more people, including Arabs, prepared to be critical of Israel two weeks ago. But the military campaign since then has changed hearts and minds. And distracted from the fact that Hezbollah is not even trying to aim at military targets, but is launching rockets at Israeli cities.
