And that has worked so well hasn't it? I guess the IDF is backing off by way of the scenic route then?

If that's all they can think of, they are remarkably stupid. I have said before, the way forward for the Palestinian people is peaceful, non-violent protest. Accept the state of Israel, and show they can be trusted to be peaceable.

Protest injustice with peaceful marches, hunger strikes, symbolic acts of refusal. Occupy settler sites both proposed and current with hundreds or thousands of people peacefully sitting on the land they claim as theirs. Yes, some will be killed, martyred if you like, but not as many as now, and with far more effect than the nameless casualty lists now weighing down the world's news sites.

Israel may continue violence, but faced with peaceful responses of dignity and power, they would rapidly be shown up as bullies and overlords. The US would be shamed into pressing moderation. Most importantly, ordinary people could choose to participate or not, a choice the militants deny them through violence.

Use your powerlessness to greatest effect through peace. In sixty years, trying to match Israel for violence has resulted only in misery and destruction.

Hezbollah cannot win by force. Ever. So stop it. Now.
