Shaken Awake by War
[Los Angeles Times] David Grossman - There is no justification for the large-scale violence that Hizballah has unleashed from Lebanese territory on dozens of peaceful Israeli villages, town and cities. Israel has counterattacked, and it has every right to do so. No country in the world would remain silent and abandon its citizens when its neighbor strikes without any provocation. Israel had no choice but to respond to the severe attack on its territory. Hizballah is, openly, an Iranian agent in the Middle East, a bridgehead for its murderous plans against Israel. Iran's aspirations do not include an equitable peace between Israel and Palestine. Its ideology and actions demonstrate that, even if Israel and the Palestinians reach a peace agreement, Hizballah will oppose compromises.
