===> "get into a political process where some of these underlying issues can be resolved satisfactorily for the long term," Blair said." <=== But, what if the world is dealing with uncompromising hatred and racism, similar to what we witness here on SI, thru Emile and Len and Thomas and Gustave? Unbending and unreasoning hatred. What if the only solution is either the destruction of Israel, or the destruction of the Palestinians (meaning the withdrawal of all Arabs from the West Bank, Gaza and Golan)? What if the world is given only those two choices. Israel pulls back and offers a just peace, and the Palestinians counter with increased violence and bombings, as they have for 60+ years? What then?

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israeli jets and artillery hit targets across south Lebanon on Saturday in retaliation for the most extensive guerrilla attacks on the Jewish state's armed forces since they withdrew from the area two years ago. The clashes, which have expanded beyond the foothills of the Golan Heights, could mark a change in the low intensity conflict between Israel on one side, and Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrillas and their Syrian backer on the other. Just before the clashes erupted, Syrian troops in Lebanon pulled out from positions nearest to the Israeli border, continuing a redeployment apparently designed to limit the impact of any Israeli attacks. Lebanese and Israeli security officials said Katyusha rockets and mortar rounds fired from Lebanon hit Israeli military positions in Israel proper and in the occupied Golan Heights on Saturday. Israeli security officials accused Hizbollah of launching the attacks, but a Hizbollah official denied the claim, saying the party's attacks on Saturday were limited to Israeli troops occupying Shebaa Farms in the foothills of the Golan. Israel Radio said two children were hurt when salvoes hit Ghajar, a village on the Golan southwest of Shebaa Farms that Israel occupied in 1967. Hizbollah fighters, who are backed by Syria and Iran, have stepped up a campaign to drive Israeli troops from the foothills of the Golan Heights in response to Israel's military invasion of Palestinian cities in the West Bank.
