this seems to me wholly nuts.
so for one israeli soldier kidnapped, it is ok to invade gaza, shut down water, electricity, cut off food and push 1.4 million people ever closer to what all but the israeli government and the ny times refer to as a humanitarian crisis.
for 2 israelis kidnapped by hizbollah, it is ok for israel to invade lebanon.
i dont follow the self-defense line being advanced by the israelis and the bush squad--i dont follow any of the logic that would explain israeli actions.
meanwhile, if you read any account that still thinks gaza worth talking about, conditions there continue to deteriorate rapidly.
so far in lebanon, israeli military actions have alreaedy killed some 50 civilians.
i dont get it.

You do not reply about the daily rocket attacks that have been going on in the past year. You do not reply about them attacking another sovereign nation.
Sorry but if you keep attacking another country, and sending in hundreds of rockets, you assault people in their country, at some point you ahve to reply back! And you can not just smack back you have to hit hard, and show the country that it is an act of war, and no matter what size of attack you are doing, you have to reign in the militants that are running and ruining your country. Abide by the rules, abide by the peace accords, abide by the UN resolutions you have to disarm the militant groups, or they will never allow peace.
