one side needs to be completely annihilated for the other to know peace
The people making up Hezbollah do not need to be annihilated for that. Hezbollah needs to retreat above the Litani and surrender their weapons to Lebanon
because you had a hunch the side that was honoring it was only doing so as some kind of trick
Well that's, indeed, where we differ. And why I posted that article of Hezbollah boasting that they used the previous ceasefire to do exactly that.
Imagine your neighbours attacked your family and when you fight them back into their basement they shout "Time-out! Ceasefire!!".
Sure, you might want to give peace a chance and act righteous. But now imagine that this already happened numerous times before. After you agreed to a ceasefire last year, they've been posting on facebook how they tricked you and restocked their ammo. How eager would you be to, again, agree to a ceasefire in that scenario? How (un)reasonable would it be to at least make them move a few blocks (so they can't shoot your family as easily) part of that ceasefire deal?
