Israel is fighting its war on terror about the same way the US lost

rely on the mainstream media to dutifully report that one more

The difference is that they are fighting for their survival, against
barbarian creeps who want them all dead.
 
 

Don't judge, as i'm not there and the truth is the first casualty in
war. The way I read it is: Release all the hostages and stop trying to
destroy Israel, and then they might talk. Horrendous suffering on both
sides, but how else to deal with murdering savages ?...

Talking with Israel never achieved anything. They don't compromise on
anything. As for the murdering savages, the pager business is clearly
state-backed terrorism AFAICS. And now we have the walkie-talkies! Looks
like Hezbolla are going to have to learn semaphore. ;-)
