The roots of this problem trace back to the Empire - Britain promised Palestine as homeland to both the Arabs and the Jews during WWI.
The Jews ended up with backing from the US and got their promises honoured, no-one gave a shit about the Arabs and the rest is just history.
Hezbollah are now getting arms and support from Iran & Syria, making the war slightly less 'assymetric'. Gotta love that Orwellian lingo
