To cedarford: Israel has not lost its fighting spirit. I think many were hoping that at least one of the soldiers would come back alive.
And another thing: diplomacy and multilateralism isn’t dead. Israel and the US can fight, but we must not forget that the military should serve political goals and ambitions. It should be a option of last choice, when all else fails. Unfortunately, due to wars and terrorist attacks, the militaristic way of thinking reigns supreme in many aspects of politics in Israel. Thats understandable, but we must try to change it. Israel has good diplomats. We should go in the international community and participate and negotiate in every forum, no matter who recognizes us, or doesn’t.
