While everyone's attention is on Lebanon, Israel has been quietly operating in the West Bank as well. Israel has never been happy with the results of the last elections in Palestinian territories, so Israel has simply decided to "arrest" the elected officials they don't like, how very convenient.
That kind of operations shows that the Palestinian territories have become nothing more than bantustans, territories granted with a fake automomy (the fact that Israel can kidnap and throw in jail *elected* officials with no charges and no trial for an indefinite period of time shows how inexistant that automomy is) which allows Israel to deprive their populations of full citizenship (and use them as a cheap workforce with no rights) while keeping effective control on those territories.


Also, Israel has already violated the ceasefire in Lebanon, but of course the usual double standards apply, Israel can continue the attacks on Lebanon under the 'ceasefire' but Lebanon is not allowed to defend itself.
