An Island For Israel?

221 words.

Nothing to talk about today except Israel and Lebanon. I can sum it up pretty quickly: They’re, um, shooting at each other. Again.

One could refine the discussion a little by noting that Israel is actually shooting at Hezbollah, the terrorist organization that essentially rules southern Lebanon and takes orders from Iran. Hezbollah made the puzzling decision to kidnap two Israeli soldiers right after Hamas did the same thing in the south. They figured they could trade them for Lebanese prisoners held in Israel. Unfortunately, Israel was still in a particularly bad mood from the affairs in Gaza, and they now seem intent on erasing Hezbollah from existence.

That seems like a good thing to do, but the UN and most countries are inexplicably condemning Israel. I guess you could argue they are pushing back a little hard, but it’s not like they don’t have a reason to. I tend to favor the idea of blowing up as many Hezbollah targets as possible. But then again, Hezbollah and Hamas want Israel to wage war on its neighbors. It helps their anti-Zionist cause.

At this point, I’d have to wonder if Israel wouldn’t like to move to a new neighborhood. Maybe we could find them a nice island somewhere, where they wouldn’t have 50 neighbors trying to kill them all the time.
