We all know the two soldiers are just a convenient pretext for Isreal to reoccupy the territory of those it does not like. Countries no longer declare war, they wage peace in the misguided belief that if they kill a few hundred people, this will cow the other side into submission.

"If we kill all the militants then they will stop attacking us"

"But you can't kill all the militants, and when you try, you invariably kill civilians"

"Yes but there are now less militants, peace is inevitable"

"But killing civilians encourages more militants"

"Then we'll just have to kill them too!"
