Netanyahu has gone war-mad.
Israel are striking daily into Lebanon, committing war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank and have also been hitting Iraq, Syria and Iran.
It's such short term thinking to remain in power while putting every single one of their neighbours against them. Long term, they've extended their own danger from these neighbours by at least a generation. And for what?
There's over 100 million Shiite muslims across Iran and Iraq. Killing a few of them isn't going to change anything militarily. Pissing off millions of them will (as well as the Sunnis who might decide, like in Saladin's time, that teaming up for a short while to remove the crusaders should take precedence and they can go back to Islamic sectarianism later)
Hamas has launch 5 major assaults on Israel. It seems that people just accept this because they are terrorists but then think Israel should do nothing about it.
Also your post show how little you know about the history of the region. The neighbours started war after war and lost time after time and most now have decided to just not bother. Only a few remaining countries bother fighting Israel but mostly its Iran funnelling weapons, bombs and cash to Hamas.
Hamas are happy to fight because most of the leadership are fatcats living in other countries and the Palestinians are their pawns. They dont care how many of their own people die as long as as many Jews as possible die.
