Our support of Israel, at least for the last 20 years or so, has been equivocal at best. Gratitude mixed with admiration but aiways publicly balanced with criticism. Ad nauseum and a very western cop out. To ask Israel once again to save not just itself, but the rest of a cowardly west, by risking everything to defeat Hezbollah, without support!, is to ask for its suicide. How dare we? This mess, thanks to Obama's pro anti-west regime, is an existential attack on our entire concept of civilization. Either we defend America's future, or we surrender to unaccountable regimes, which include international institutions. If we don't lead, we must follow. That's a fact of human's being.

But Israel could not calmly reorganize and wait to attack while hostages were/are being held by the terrorists. Israel’s families would never have allowed it and Hamas would never have bargained a release of any hostages without all out war. Hold the line; you have the moral ground and your survival is at stake.
