Haaretz: Major Wishful Thinking

#3  Peace with Syria would have guaranteed peace with Lebanon and peace with both would have prevented Hezbollah from fortifying on Israel's northern border. Peace with Syria would have also isolated Iran, Israel's true, dangerous enemy, and cut off Hezbollah from one of the two sources of its weapons and funding. It's so simple, and so removed from conventional Israeli thinking, which is subject to brainwashing.

Idiot. So Hezb would've had another source of weapons and funding, then your sentence above was wrong. "It's so simple" he can't get past paragraph 2 without contradicting his basic premise. Another self-hating Joooooo/tool for Islam

#2  Israel is reaping what it has sewn. Land is either under the domain and control of a nation, or it is an anarchy. You cannot make peace with an anarchy, because there is no one to make peace with.

So Israel is bordered on three sides with anarchy.

This leaves them only two options. Either they take over the land and manage its people, or if the people are unmanageable, take over the land and drive the people into a nation more capable of managing them.

But you cannot leave barbarians to their own devices, as they have done. This is because barbarians respect no law, and are brutish beasts.

#1  If Israel had returned the Golan Heights and signed a peace treaty with Syria in a timely fashion, presumably this war would not have broken out.

That's all I needed to read. If frogs had wings, they'd be pigeons.
