If I walked up and started punching you in the face because I said you looked like you were about to punch me...
Would you just let me beat you up to prove you weren't gonna punch me?
Especially knowing there's no one that would stop me from beating you up if you didn't defend yourself?
What if after the fight I said I punched you for something you did last week?
I'd think what would have worked best was an immediate response, which is what you're criticizing Hezbollah for doing...
But it sounds like you didn't understand who was who in that metaphor
