I understand the need and right for them to defend themselves
but their response is way out of proportion. Instead of forcing the
Palestinians and Hizbollah to hand over their soldiers and to cease
rocket attacks on Israel, they are creating more hatred for the
Israelis. They are creating an entirely new generation of recruits
for the terrorist organisations, who are willing to die to take
revenge for what the Israelis have done to them.
I can understand their plan to force the Hamas government in
Palestine and the Lebanon government to cease hostilities towards
Israel in Palestinians case and to evict the Hizbollah in Lebanon's
case. But the civilian casualties is unacceptably high. Instead of
a peaceful outcome, they are indirectly generating greater support
for these terrorists. Therefore they may win the battle but not the
war.
