They are also attacking Lebanon, a soveriegn state with a large Catholic population that didn't do anything to be attacked.

If I understand you correctly, you maintain that Israel is deliberately attacking parts of Lebanon not involved with the terorists. I suppose taking out the airports, some roads and bridges could be interpreted that way. But I see no deliberate attacks upon non-terror civilian populations. Are the terrorists leasing or appropriating office space in the Christian part of Beirut? They use their own women and children as human shields, why would they hesitate to use Christians?

As for Shiite/Sunni distinctions, a Muslim is a Muslim; the "good" ones are only biding their time until they are strong enough to strike.

Lebanon has forfieted its national sovereignty by allowing the terrorist cancer to grow in it without opposition. Lebanon's only hope is to remove all Muslims so the largely Christian population can live in peace. Who better to assist in this endeavor than Israel?

They are bombing civilian infrastructure (airports, bridges, and seaports), that are of no use to the terrorists, as far as I can see. Now maybe I'm wrong: maybe the terrorists are using these things in ways that I don't see. If that's the case I'm open to correction, but given the information I have before me, it doesn't seem likely.

The point isn't that some Moslems are good. The point is that the Lebanese Sunnis aren't supporters of Hezbollah and don't have much animus against Israel. That's a fact, like it or not.

Lebanese Sunnis don't like Palestinians very much, either.

Lebanon has forfieted its national sovereignty by allowing the terrorist cancer to grow in it without opposition.

This is absurd. Lebanon just got its sovereignty less than a year ago. It is weak, poor, and has next to no military resources. It has been under the thumb of a pro-Hezbollah Shiite Syrian occupation for more than 2 decades. Now, you expect them to get rid of a Syrian and Iranian-backed Hezbollah, less than a year after their occupation ended?

Get real.

I agree. It doesn't look to me, however, that Israel's current actions are doing anything to lead to this result.
