Israeli Strikes Resume After Brief Lull

I have refrained from saying anything about the proposed 48 hour cease fire in the Israel vs terrorists. I wanted to see how it came about. Well, according to the AP, it didn't.
But Israel left open the option it might hit targets to stop imminent attacks or if the military completed its inquiry within 48 hours.
With a couple of exceptions, the world has been decrying Israel as the aggressor. Where was the outcry from the "world" when Israel was being attacked by murdering bombers? Silence.
The Israeli army justified the action, saying the leader believed to have been in the car was a threat to Israel. Instead, the car was carrying a Lebanese army officer and soldiers.
Perhaps if Lebanon has disarmed Hezbollah, as the UN had "insisted", a Lebanese soldier would not have been killed. (Question: No one else listens to the UN, why should the US?) Why should Israel "justify" its actions to anyone? Haven't they been dealt enough blows by the Muslims terrorists?
"It's forbidden to agree to an immediate cease-fire," Peretz told parliament as several Arab legislators heckled him and demanded an immediate halt to the offensive. "Israel will expand and strengthen its activities against the Hezbollah."
Arab legislators. Interesting. Are there any Jewish legislators in an Arab country?
The bombing of the Lebanese village of Qana on Sunday led to demands around the world for an immediate cease-fire.
Consider that Hezbollah uses "civilians" as shields. Civilians will die. How about the "world" call for an immediate execution of anyone using a child as a cover?
