Mahmood is asking<\/a> why Israel is still bombing lebanon after it proved its point. I join his question, though i’m not sure i have the answer he wants to hear. Israel is under attack, and the only way to save it is to stop the fighting. In order for us to be at peace we have to be sure than once we stop bombing Hizbullah\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s targets in lebanon we will not be fired rockets again<\/p>\n

In the meantime, our ministers aren’t doing a very good job at presenting the public opinion. Saul Mofaz, the former Military chief of staff, and former minister of defense, currently holding the position of minister of transportation. Following the missile attack on the Haifa rail station, he commented that the missiles are Syrian, showing his ‘expertise’, and today he commented<\/a> in Ma’ariv, Israel’s second largest newspaper, that:<\/p>\n

\n

The world must understand: Hizballah is Al-Qaeda. Nasrallah is Bin-Laden<\/em>. No less. And out of that, it must be clear that no Hassan is Immune. Not out of revenge, but from an enlightened view of reality. Israel shall not rest and shall not be silent until the soldiers will return healthy and at whole to their homes, and until order and peace will return to the northen border, and this time for the long run.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How do i make myself clear, Mofaz, though he is a senior participant in the government, acts like a general, he does not understand the israeli public good. The world has to understand that though Israel has many voices, the only voices that people are hearing now are the voices of the extremists. Guns are the uncivilised way of arguing.<\/p>\n

Whilst Uri Avnery writes against this war<\/a>, i cannot agree with him in full. I think that this war is not a planned one. I know that the Israeli leadership didn’t plan it. Whether the army planned it or not is another question. Though i seldomly trust my government, i know that it is not in our interest to go to war. Israel’s economy has started to recover and the high-tech industry is booming, we are not in a state where we have to gain something from this war. We do not wish for further territory and we do not want to hold another nation, again, under occupation. There is no justification for this war, and we did not initiate it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, even though we did not plan this war, we have to do whatever it takes to stop it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
