...Like any of Israel's responses have 'worked' ..... wouldn't a reasonable person perhaps think something else was required ...???? ... from your post ..

"..Given their geographical position and the hatred they are surrounded with, it would be suicidal for them to respond to attack with anything less than they have.."

uh .. really ...??? .. well - the 'failure' of that attack on Lebanon .. has caused a 'great' lack of respect of Israel's powers .. and 'our' powers... think it 's time for another tactic ....... ?

>>>I guess the 1000's of rockets fired from inside Lebanon by Hezbollah are considered friendly by you, huh??<<<


Judging by the damage each side inflicted, those rockets seem to work better as propaganda tools for US/Israel than as actual weapons for the Lebanese.

Civilian casualties from the war:

Lebanon: 1187 dead, 3600 wounded, 1,000,000 homeless

Israel: 43 dead, 33 wounded

>>>I guess Iranian support of Heszbollah - monetary and with weapons should make Israel more friendly towards Iran, right.<<<


No it shouldn't but what's accomplished by pulverizing neighboring countries over minor border incidents?


>>>Given their geographical position and the hatred they are surrounded with, it would be suicidal for them to respond to attack with anything less than they have<<<
