I'm not sure what your point is, but mine is that Hezbollah will get props from many people for fighting Israel.

No idea. Did those protests accomplish anything? Did that government even pay lip service to the notion of removing the private army that had occupied the country's southern region?

I think the protests achieved something, but progress is slow, and we seem to agree that the Lebanese government was not strong enough to get Hezbollah to disarm. Wrecking the country seems like a bad way to get a strong central government that Israel can deal with, though.
