Hezbolah does not exist because of what happened 24 years ago. It was created in 1983 by Iran, and not by an indigenous response to local conditions. It exists in its current state because of Iran (mostly) and Syria.
This current war started when Iran coaxed Hezbolah to act as the G8 was meeting. Iran wanted to show the world that they could shake things up. Well, they shook things up and now there is a war.
We can debate whether or not Israel's response was appropriate, but no one is debating about who killed the first person. It was Hezbolah doing the dirty work for Iran.

PLO aren't terrorists though.
PLO is better than Hezbollah and Hammas by a long shot. I'm not saying Iran doesn't control Hezbollah, but without Israel creating a bunch of conditions, then neither Hammas nor Hezbollah would exist, at least not as they do now. Bulldoze people's family's homes and run over teenagers with tanks anywhere else in the world, and you get human rights protestors from every country in the world that cares about such things. Say
anything bad about Israel and you are terrorist if you're brown and anti-semetic if you're another color.
