I have no idea why. Are the terrorist groups in Lebanon gonna suddenly disband and stop being terrorists if Israel doesn't bomb the eff out of them and plays nice? What are they gonna do if they disband? What opportunities even exist for them? Are they gonna become Rhodes scholars or something?
Like my comments about Russia, it's another history book lesson. In the Middle East, unless they have oil and in many cases even if they do, they run their countries like sh1t, treat their own people like sh1t, and hate the Jews.
None of the terrorism and obsession with the state of Israel has helped the people over there too.
Also, given how Jews had been mistreated both in the Middle East and in Europe ... for centuries... just for global peace and decency, the creation of Israel was a good thing. Jerusalem was supposed to be an open city too ... but again wars and terrorism changed the whole landscape.
Or, we ALL can just hold israel to international standards and apply accountability.
