How Is It On Your Side Of The Fence?

........things here are not tense but people are firm in their convictions that this situation must be dealt with.
Lebanon is under duress from Israel and rightfully so, this because the 'boola boys are part of the governing coalition within Lebanon, that makes the Lebanese govt. responsible too for what happened on Israel's side of the border yesterday.
Remember now, Lebanon was supposed to disarm the 'boola boys after Israel pulled out of Lebanon, they have had nearly six years to do so, but instead of disarming them they have allowed them to enter the govt. as an accepted political party and also permitted them to continue their struggle against Israel.
So I ask (jokingly), where is the love?
And again let's point out, it was Israel's side of the border, we pulled out of Lebanon almost six years ago. The border area had been certified as recognized by the U.N also as being under correct boundaries.
Thing about this nonsense is, most of us in Israel know Lebanon and particularly many of its citizens want nothing to do with the 'boola boys, we know Syria and Iran do. This conflict will be hard to extinguish and will probably ignite into a greater regional conflict. I imagine that if one more major incident happens and Syria sits in the background smiling or issuing statement against Israel that we will begin to see Israel hit Syria and hard.
Now as i have asked before, there is a major question - what is it that the 'boola boy and hamas is hoping to gain from all of this? What is it that they know. i believe they want a conflict with Israel which is kept at a low burn in order to gain political and propaganda points among thier supporters.
They are hoping to kill some israelis, kidnap some soldiers, and hoping to make Israel negotiate under duress.Believing Israel will keep things in perspective and let the enemy live to fight another day.....
What they are keen miscalculating though may be the size of Israel's response. Just how much can Israel be held on a short leash when it is clear that Hamas and the 'boola boys were the ones that started this fight? Just how much will Israel hold Syria and Iran accountable for what is going on when it is so obvious?
Here is the thing, this is a giant test...
Hamas and the 'boola boys do NOT think Israel will counter with blowing up whole towns, entire govt. buildings, take out a swath of the population in order to kill armies and bring their enemies to their knees.
and they may be correct,
but i believe they - hamas and the 'boola boys - have miscalculated.
I believe that if they have been given a green light from Iran and Syria to test the waters much like Arafa-quack did with his failed intifada that these parties are at risk of being destroyed in a way that they cannot imagine.
And it is time, it is time for Israel to take these corrupt and hostile goverments out. It may cost the lifes of 1000 - 5000 Israelis in battles and missile attacks, but it is time to make these fanatics and corrupt institutions understand that we will no longer tolerate their madness.
We want peace, we want it on our terms no doubt, but we have been willing to give up much of the West Bank and Gaza for a long time. But apparently that isnt good enough, and just like in the 30's and 40's with the Nazis, the Jews are facing a threat against their existence.
In short Hamas and many other Palestinian elements, the 'boola boys, Syria, and Iran want to wipe Israel out. It may be tough for people to accept this, it is however more important for Israel to realize this and act upon this known reality (it is not merely philosophy).
In short the other side has committed acts of war, good for them, now they should not be surprised when we actually fight a war instead of merely acting like a tough cop.
