uh did you not get the memo? Because of WW2 and the Holacaust, Israel has a perma get out of jail free card. They could put 100 Lebanese school children in front of a firing squad tommorow. Doesn't matter. It's all in the interest of national security.
I agree with you that their mindset is not a good one, but this whole mess is coming close to being a sequel to the Crusades for Christ's sake. Holy wars = bad news for everyone.
I understand. But if Israel allows itself to be hamstrung by these tactics, hizbolla will always be safe to carry out it's agenda: the destruction of israel.
The Arab psyche is a very interesting one. They are always looking backward, to wrongs that happened thousands of years in the past, not to what the future could hold for them.
