A salient fact most people tend to disregard, its the loonies on both sides that keep this tragic situation running.
Nutters firing rockets indescrimately into Israeli towns week after week is bound to bring a response, and anybody who has followed this mess over the years know only to well that the Israeli response will be brutal.
The current stand-off has gotten nowhere since the 67 war, it must be plain to both sides the only real solution is a deal akin to the road-map, there is no military solution for either side.
Also general elections are due soon in Israel, so I imagine any future leader wants to come across as tough, but what worries me is that the Israeli's are now more likely to vote in the hard liners from Likud.
