Israel will fight its next war “with full force,” Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Tuesday, adding that the Israeli army will not stop fighting the next conflict until its enemy surrenders completely.

“There is no confrontation with half of the power or a quarter of the power, only at full force,” Liberman said. “You don’t stop in the middle – this is the instruction at the moment for the IDF. The next confrontation will be with full force until the other side raises a white flag. It must be a war with the most forceful possible profile,” the defense minister said, according to Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv.

Boom! Of course the u.n. will condemn this type of talk as "counter productive" to the peaceful resolution of hostilities. Seems like it worked in WW I and WW II. At least for a while.

Winning! Hope the Palis aren’t so stupid as to force it because it will cause a lot of tensions that may drag us into a war to help defend Israel, but it would be a worthy cause to clean out the rat nest of the Palis.

I agree with the sentiment, except for the part about “next war”. The war began in 1947, and there’s never been a “white flag”. It hasn’t ended.

Absolutely correct.

Compromise does not win wars, it loses them. Along with a lot more lives.

that’s the way any war should be fought.
make it so hard and devastating that they will sue for peace.

In the words of the immortal Mad Dog Mattis:
“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

It’s the only way to fight a war.
The nations that dare raise their finger against Israel won’t survive.

We should put our Israeli embassy at the extreme edge of the Gaza Strip.

Right. And let's put a U.S. consulate in a sh!t-hole called Benghazi.

How did that work out for us?

Sounds like they are preparing for the next intifada.

We should have the same policy: Finish it.
No more wars simmering on the back burner for decades.

“What are they waiting for?”

They’ve been spending decades kissing up to those who hate them, or don’t really like them that much. It’ll take time to get over it.

Actually, to hell with white flags.
Israel’s next war needs to be an extinction event for whoever starts it. No quarter. No prisoners. No worrying about collateral damage.
Because the IDF is going take a beating; they might not be in good enough shape for a second round. Hezbollah now has thousands of laser guided ATGMs. Not the best versions like the Kornet, but still pretty good ones.
Besides, It isn’t like anyone can hate Israel more...
