"You cannot say to the Lebanese today with all bridges destroyed with thousands and thousands of living units in shambles, that this strategy was effective. This strategy did not protect Lebanon."
Even talking about the possibility of talks with Syria right now is a message of surrender and is as good as Israel coming out and saying to the Syrians and Iranians look guys you beat us, tell us your conditions for ending the terror we will pay your price whatever it is. This is certainly not the image Israel wants to be sending to a hamas run PA. One minute the messaqge is terror gets you nowhere next minute its terror brings rewards The Israeli government should be feeling ashamed they seem to surrender to terror at every point. Now even as Syria rearms hezbollah, calling for Israels destruction and publicly promisies to continue supporting hezbollah Israel is talking about negotiations with Syria. If Israel is ever destroyed it wont be Iranian nukes it will be weak Israeli politicians. After Assad`s hostile and stupid declarations, someone in Israel is now thinking of resuming "talks?!" with this dude?
God please save us from Peretz and Livni!!
Will the Olmert government fall? Will the debacle benefit the Right or the Left? Will the chief of staff, Air Force General Dan Halutz, be forced to go, as several Israeli commentators are demanding? In 34 days of war, his forces failed to stop Hizballah's rockets, while his vaunted air force was guilty of war crimes.
What we see today is an image of the crimes Israel has committed ... there is no other description other than a criminal act that shows Israel's hatred to destroy Lebanon and its tourism and economy .
