But resuming, it's shortsighted to say that Hezballah's kidnapping of the israely soldiers was the trigger to this conflict. They where in turn reacting to the shelling of a family in a Gaza beach by Israeli artillery. And the Israel did that in retaliation for something else, and so on. It's all a regrettable vendetta cycle. Now, you said that israel refused to negotiate with Hamas and they have the right to do so. Maybe they have, but then they risk to be perceived as acting in bad faith towards its neighbors. They moved there to the middle of the Arabs, not the opposite, so they should be able to concede to negotiate as well. About your question, what where the alternatives to Israel, the smart answer would be to contribute to end the root of all the conflicts in that region: follow the path that Itzack Rabin and Arafat tried to draw years ago and recognize the state of Palestine. And of course, dismantle the illegal settlements in the occupied territories and stop the economical embargo to Palestine. Start, for example, by enabling a win-win situation and negotiate the soldiers in exchange for palestinian political prisioners. I actually liked the analogy you used before between the terrorist attacks in Israel and the tsunamis in Japan and earthquakes in Indonesia. It really became a "feature of the region" and the founders of the state of Israel should have predicted so. It's like when a problematic neighbor moves to your building. But they are still in time to deserve their acceptance by the nations around, if only they really have the will to do so. Of course, that could require Israel's eternal protector to feel a little bit of shame once in a while and stop sending them inconditionally money and weapons.[/quote]
