Hizbollah has scared Israel, Haaretz

The strength of Hizbollah in Lebanon has caused the Israelis to reconsider the military option. This is the last paragraph of an Haaretz editorial: Bypassing the factions

Faced with these two threats, from both north and south, Israel can no longer sit with arms folded or make do with military bombast. It must also examine the diplomatic alternatives and make immediate and wise use of them while they still exist.

There is a sense of despair in the NeoCons developing in Haaretz, This from the opinion pages:

Haaretz to US, lets part as friends

By way of www.whatreallyhappened.com I saw this article:

Haaretz guidelines for commenting

I decided to leave a comment on the haaretz article.

Saying a lawyer needed to propose a law to stop warmongering, racist and the far right pushing the country into absurdities.

And that the article whispered of a post zionist mature country, as do other articles on the net.

I don’t expect it to be published so I have typed it here.

Anyway I was surprised that the comments guidelines forbid the use of the words ethnic cleansing.

The Comments on Israels most prominent Left Newspaper, don’t allow for one commenter to be seen with another. Instead each comment has to be opened in a separate window.

So there is no real thread or conversation to follow, Just a disparate noise.
