If Israel is not willing to do what's necessary and defend its right to exist, I'm not sure why anyone here has any right to complain. It's clear as day what is needed -- for Israel to make Syria, which has basically declared war on Israel by heavily supplying armed groups that are waging war on it and targeting civilians, experience so much pain that it will stop arming these terrorists. And I've often wondered over the years why Nasrallah was not simply taken out by the Israelis. But Israel does nothing to go to the root of the problem and defend its citizens and very right to exist. A people that won't defend its own people and way of life by any and all means necessary doesn't deserve our sympathy, sorry. And at this rate, it eventually will be nuked by Iran who will have smuggled a nuke into Lebanon via Syria (give it a few more years); and Israel (or whatever is left of it and its people) will have no one but themselves to blame. At this rate, and given the apparent mindset of the Israeli leadership, it is going to get nuked. That's what this is about, people, wake up.

No complaints for me with your philosophy whatsoever.My major complaint is where the IDF is currently dropping their bombs.I think that they have not expanded their target lists to includ the fortified bunkers inside South Lebanon and the towns in the Bekaa Valley(along the Syrian,Lebanese border).Why has the IDF not gone after the fortified bunkers and Hezbollahs mountain trails with the amount of zeal they are doing in Beirut? It seems to me that if the IDF have gone after those things (the bunkers and mountain trails),the ground forces would have a quicker time taking territory and it would be over in two weeks and Hezbollah would disappear. The IDFs goal is to permanently deny Iran and Syria a means for them to project their power through a "proxy".The can only be achieved by destroying those fortified bunkers and choking off their overland trails(either by surveillance or aerial bombardment). Hezbollah has all "their eggs in one basket" such as food water,ammunition, everything you need to conduct war in those bunkers. Destroying all these bunkers with bunker busters bombs will end the war very quickly because Hezbollah will have nowhere to rearm and they will collapse Right now, these bunkers present an immediate threat for all IDF troops on the ground. If the IDF begins to bomb the supply routes along the Lebanese/Syrian border and those bunkers this war will come to a very quick end.In other words, have the IDF expand their target list. When time comes to bring that war to Iran or Syria, the leadership of the IDF will make that decision and I will support that decision. I think that the IDF is waiting for Iran and Syria to make a move "overt" move. They will decide the time to strike.

And I've often wondered over the years why Nasrallah was not simply taken out by the Israelis

Maybe he just got lucky.

Well the reason we should worry about Israeli lack of desire to defend themselves decisively is because this is an opportunity for US to join Israel in wiping out the Syrian and Iranian regimes quickly.

Bottom line is ... eliminate the Iranian regime this year or get nuked by them next year.

We need to take advantage of this Hezzbolah/Israeli war and join in and stamp out Tehran ASAP. Next year will be too late for the Israelis and soon after that - for US.
Our troops would be better used attacking Iran or Syria instead of doing bullet magnet and IED patrols in the middle of the Iraqi cross fire.
