Nasrallah: Israelis haven't learned lessons of Second Lebanon War
2009-01-01
"The Israelis claim they have learned the lessons of the Second Lebanon War, but they haven't," Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday night. In a televised speech, Nasrallah said that Israel had not set a clear target for the current Gaza operation, asserting that the IDF wasn't sure it would achieve anything and that the military action in the Strip would end in failure.

#3  You are probably right. I was hopeful they might be serious this time. But as no ground invasion begun yet, it looks like just another round of the same ol' abusive and dysfuntional relationship. The have a knock-down fight. The neighbors call the police who will drive by and tell them to keep it down. Another year will go by.

#2  Actually, I don't see this current endeavor as accomplishing much. The Israelis are obsessed with keeping a nonsensical status quo, and absolutely refuse to do anything that would eventually lead to a forced resolution.

It is like a great big prisoner sharing a prison cell with a small, insane psychopath prisoner, who constantly attacks the big guy in annoying ways until the big guy loses his temper and punches the small guy once.

Then the small guy gets up, dusts himself off, and starts attacking again. Eventually, the little guy is going to come up with some way of injuring the big guy, but the big guy just can't bring himself to throw the little guy out of the cell entirely.

#1  He's right. They haven't learned lessons of second Lebanon war. They went back and learned lessons from wars that they won.
