Clearly the Israeli offensive is not working in Lebanon or Gaza, the tactics of hezbollah
and hamas will always give them victim status no matter how much provocation they cause.

Both groups will attack with or without the go ahead from their respective "political wings"
of the same name so the chances of any lasting negotiated peace appear to be nil.

Obviously Israel has the backing of the US, who upholds their right to exist.
Just as obvious is Iran/Syrias backing of hezbollah and anyone else who attacks Israel,
but their stated aim is the total destruction if Israel, and who knows how soon they may
have the means to do just that. They could probably do it right now if they all got together
openly as they have done in the past.

In hindsight it would seem that the creation of the Israeli state was one of the biggest mistakes
ever made as far as world peace, but also they have direct historical links to that region.

so what should Israel do?...will any border re-alligning ever work? should they not retaliate to anything
and leave that to the UN? or should they admit defeat and dissolve their state and pack up?
