Financial Support to Lebanon?

Have you been following the war in Israel? If you have then you are aware of the enormous damage done to both Israel and Lebanon as a result.

Hezbollah, a known terrorist organization (according to the press) are leading the rebuilding campaign in Lebanon. “In Sreifa, a Hezbollah official said the group would offer an initial $10,000 to residents to help pay for the year of rent, to buy new furniture and to help feed families.”

Hezbollah is seen to be the “winner” by the Lebanese government and people. They are “winning the heart” of the Lebanese people and spreading anti-Israel and anti-American theology (this of course already existed before the war).

So here’s the question: Should America offer financial support to Lebanon even though Hezbollah has not been disarmed? Will America be seen as “paying off the ‘winners’?”

Is this what Jesus meant when he said “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you?” What do you think?
