>>On another topic, you were wondering about the connection between Israel's actions in Gaza and Hizbullah's attacks? Here is an explanation of the connection:<<

Nadine -

Thanks for posting that. It does provide good information about the connections, as well as about the psychology of the Arab/Islamic coalition.

But listen, Nadine, you keep trying to show me how evil and stubborn the Arabs who want to destroy Israel are. You don't have to do that. I know it already.

That doesn't justify Israel being evil and stubborn as well. People and nations still have to be accountable for their own actions.

Once again, Israel not only sees its actions as justified, but as being beyond their control. They have no choice.

Here's what really bothers me: "'All operations are legitimate to wipe out terror,' said Israel's northern front commander Major General Udi Adam."

That's just wrong, in two major ways. One, it's wrong morally, because harming the innocent is never justified under any conditions. Two, it's wrong on a practical level, since there is no way to wipe out terrorism by force.

I'll repeat this point. History very clearly demonstrates that trying to combat fanatical terrorists with violence creates more new fanatical terrorists. It's a never ending cycle.
