Gaza again

Actually he did answer it.

Tribesman asserted that the "strong" efforts made by the IDF in Gaza and Lebanon made no lasting impact on the terrorist organizations they were attempting to degrade, despite claims of success on a superficial level. He asserts that this shows inherent "weakness" in that Israel, while trying to demonstrate power and resolve, displayed an inability to critically damage their chosen targets.

By extension, he's suggesting that military force is doomed to failure in this context and that Israel needs to negotiate with Hamas, Hezbollah and the other groups, or more probably with the nation-states that underwrite them, and then stick to the deal as written even though some of the real fringers will kill Israelis regardless of any settlement agreement.

Mind you, it would have been kinder if he'd explained the comment rather than zinging in the tagline and moving on, but I suspect he enjoys leaving you confused and frustrated.

Seamus, i asked him what he would do, if negotiation nor military force worked, to reduce the radicals.

also, asking the israelis to not do anything while israelis are dying is absurd. the politicians who werent doing anything would be voted out really quickly, and replaced with those who would act.
