...it will start with a surprise attack, like Pearl Harbor or Germany's invasion of Poland... America's full military might behind Israel is NOT for Israel's sake, it is for America's own future survival... Israel waited for Hizbollah to take the first step when it suited Hizbollah. For six years Hizbollah built and fortified, dug and covered... The situation has not changed almost four years later... Morale was low during and after the war. A million Israelis fled their homes in the North to the Center... The missiles targeted cities indiscriminately. Israeli Arabs were warned to leave Haifa and the Galilee, to flee before Hizbollah hit these exact locations... Thousands of missiles later, Israel understood her failures... We must remember this was a war on only one front -- with Hizbollah in Lebanon. It reached every household from the Northern border down southward beyond Haifa. Operation Cast Lead and the ground incursion into Gaza at the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009 was a three week limited repeat engagement. Hamas learned and implemented the lessons from Hizbollah. The flow of armament arrived via the Sinai Peninsula and the Mediterranean Sea rather than via Syria, although the main supplier was the same: Iran. The range of rockets from Gaza reached a Sixty Second radius – to Beer Sheva and the outskirts of Rehovot. Thus, once again, the Center was spared, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem were not in harm's way.Thanks Ari Bussel.
