Well, at least we can say it is not over yet. It may be that the Israeli govt. realizes that they have to carry out their threats to destroy Hamas in Rafah, but they want to time it with an assault on Lebanon and will hit both with maximum force and no holds barred. Maybe not. But whatever the case, surely the time must come when the Israeli government will realize that they have no alternative - and if they were to really inflict swift and crushing blows to destroy Hamas and break the power of Hezbollah permanently, this might provoke such a violent reaction in the western countries people will finally wake up and realize that Israel's enemies are our enemies and deserve no more toleration and consideration.
Nothing undermines the Israeli government's negotiating position more than the demonstrations in Jerusalem & Tel Aviv urging an immediate deal.
