There's a big controversy going on over Israel's actions...not just here but among Israelis themselves.
They seem to blame their own government for its handling of the crisis, not the U.S. And all along that government lauded our diplomatic efforts and seemed to try to tie them in, awkwardly it would seem, to their use of their military.
That government delayed an offensive to the Litani River that could have been had 3 weeks ago, that they are now doing last-minute.
It's ok if Israelis have a controversy over whether to continue to fight or have a cease fire, and it's also fine for us to debate what Israel's best course of action is.
But when American freepers start comparing Israel to the French, then I'm ready to ship some freepers to the front line and see if they still want to call Israel cowards.
