I didn't realize that my knee had jerked...who knew? I read all I can every day to be better aware of the situation in the Middle East and think I have a clue now and then. The Israeli media was against a cease fire and so were many of their top military leaders. The cease fire came about due to US pressure, according to most Israeli sources I read. It all makes little difference as the Hezbollahs will never disarm and the UN will be powerless to make them do it. How did you become such an "expert" on matters in Israel?
Though I have been studying this situation for 30+ yrs. one need not be an expert to realize that the Israeli cabinet voted 24-0 for this ceasefire. Israel's media is likely of no more value than ours.
One factor that has not been considered is the negative impact on the American effort in Iraq produced by the Israeli response. Israel understands that these are two fronts in the same war.
