Israel

Some articles of note.  The Jerusalem Post reports that captured Israeli soldiers are being moved to Iran by Hezbollah.  The US has vetoed a UN resolution condemning Israel for strikes in Gaza.  Ken McCraken comments on the Syria connection to terror, but in my opinion he is in error to suggest that Israel use the latest crisis as pretext for an assault on the Syrian regime.  Powerline reports that Israel has no intention of widening the scope of its operations.  Tom Bevan suggests that Lebanon has committed an act of war against Israel. 

For many years I have suggested that Israel capitulate to a Palestinian state.  Then the Palestinians would have the rights and responsibilities of a nation state.  When events such as those in the last few days take place Israel would then be in the position of taking legitimate action against a sovereign state and not have the public relations problem (however unjustified) of attacking an "occupied people."
