“Haniyeh and his co-horts should end this war in boxes or (perhaps worse) in Israeli prisons.”

Most definitely boxes, Soccerdad, boxes. If Haniyeh and his cronies end up in Israel prisons, how many kidnapping attempts do you think the Palis will make to spring them? Trading hundreds of Pali prisoners for a couple of Jewish corpses is no good trade at all. Kill the bastards.

Part of the reason they desire Israel defeated is that they’ve purchased into this idea that Western pride, Western posperity, Western know-how, Western technical expertise, that somehow all of this combined makes for intrinsic humiliation for the mohammedan.

And that the mohammedan can’t take it.

Thus the prob with the mohammedan flows from Western arogance.

Few there are with the cultural confidence to say the Arab lives on top of a dung heap because of Arab pathology, excerbated and compounded by the manifold pathologies of mohammedanism.

anon,

I probably didn’t phrase it as well as I should have.

In terms of materiel Israel clearly won. But Israel wasn’t perceived as winning. Worse, Israel squandered any gains it made by agreeing to 1701 and allowing Hezbollah to re-arm. But maybe the war in 2006 scared Hezbollah off.

Still what’s probably most important is that the leadership of Hamas does not emerge from this war intact. Haniyeh and his co-horts should end this war in boxes or (perhaps worse) in Israeli prisons.

As the world is becoming more and more anti-war, the evildoers of the world are becoming more and more brazen. Evil only understands strength. This is unfortunate, but history has proven this again and again.

(Part of Kristol’s optimism is that he
views the unsuccessful war against
Hezbollah as a success on some level.)

—

I have ALWAYS viewed the 2006 war against
Hezbollah terrorists as yet another Israeli victory.

Israeli boots on sacred Muslim ground. Huge Hezbollah casualties vs. much smaller IDF casualities. Barely a handful of IDF Armour vehicles destroyed.

The proof is that now in 2009, Hezbollah TALKS a good game, but cowers in Lebanon,soiling their pants, afraid to commit even a symbolic war crime in support of their Arab Brothers and Sisters in the Gaza District Terror Enclave.

Each day it should become more and more obvious that those who accept facts and not falsehoods can only conclude that 2006 was an Israeli Victory.

ALL GLORY TO THE IDF!
AM YISROEL CHAI!
