There is a resistance, and, therefore, any time there is occupation, there is resistance, there is a problem. And we've been calling for the last 18 years to solve this problem peacefully. And this is the result of this attitude. Now, in the past, since 1993, we've had an agreement which is called, you know, the July Agreement of 1993, which asked each party not to fire on civilians. Now, this agreement, every once in a while, somebody starts something, and it gets out of hand.
Pressure comes on both sides, and it stops.
One wonders why this time as soon as this thing got out of hand, it really got out of hand, and Israel came with all its force. Well, I think, I think it has, of course something to do with Israeli elections to show that Mr. Peres is, is a very powerful person, a strong man and so on. I think that this has a lot to do with it. I believe that there is a misconception on the part of Israel, that like I said that the problem of Hezbollah, the problem of the southern part of Lebanon can be solved by force, and, uh, and I think that is the result of this kind of attitude. I mean, the first incident that happened in this sequence was an attack by Israel on a civilian target, a building that they destroyed and killed a number of people in it.
