It's high time western governments grasped the fundamental truth that Israel is pursuing an agenda that conflicts directly with their own. In the context of the fight against terrorism and the need to promote international cooperation, the west's interest must be to remove the Palestinian question as a source of grievance among mainstream Muslims in a way that guarantees justice for the Palestinians and security for Israel. A settlement of this kind is perfectly feasible and has been outlined in countless documents and initiatives over the years, most recently in the Geneva accords. But the main reason it has proved illusive is that Israel is not, and never has been, prepared to make the territorial compromises required. It still believes that it is entitled to the victor's spoils by annexing large tracts of Palestinian land.

I'm still absolutely amazed that anyone thinks that Israel have any regard for Lebanese and Palastinian innocent lives.
The deliberate targetting of infastructure, and seemingly civilians themselves, goes no way to stopping Israel themselves getting attacked.
It's collective punishment and it plays directly into the terrorists hands.
Israel must know this, they aren't stupid. So why are they doing it? Are they misguided? or do they have a different agenda to the one they wheel out to the media...
