Israel, Lebanon and Hizb'Allah.

OK Kaz, but sometimes you have to go on the offensive.

Where are the negotiators from Hamas, Hisb'Allah, IS, Al Qaeda, Houthis, ISIL and Iran to calm things down? Nowhere to be seen or heard.

Those groups, and some other Arab nations, have officially stated that they want to wipe Israel off the map. What is Israel supposed to do?

I really would like to know.

I agree WM.
If the Israelis lose that is the end of their country.
Their enemies are not interested in peace - unless they are losing, when they start demanding ceasefires.
One side wants to live, the other side wants to kill them.
I can't ever see an end to it.

Everyone has been waiting for the move in Lebanon. The Hisb'Allah have been firing on and killing Israeli's for months now and Israel has been biding its time.

Now the hammer is going to fall and people are going to die. Why? Because people in Lebanon thought they could attack and kill Israeli's without any penalty. I have no idea why they think like that but they do.

Now we have Iran getting in on the act and trying to kill Israeli civilians. The response may take time but Iranian's are going to die. some of them will be civilians.

I would say just stop killing people but that part of the world think it is a natural state of affairs.

I agree too. Israel is fighting for survival, all very sad, but what else can they do............

Not survive. Some countries have taken this approach. Israel? After 2,000 years in the wilderness? Not so much.
