Well... Yes, but I would change the word "attacks" with "retaliations". If Hamas didn't abduct one of Israels soldiers, then Israel wouldn't have had reason or cause to go back into the Gaza Strip. If Hezbollah hadn't crossed international borders, abducted Israelis, killed others, and then taken them back into Lebanon, then Israel wouldn't have had any reason or cause to retaliate against them in Lebanon. Israel has tried to minimize civilian casualties, but they aren't pulling any punches in their efforts to put pressure on Hamas or Hezbollah. It's unfortunate, but Israel didn't start it.

They are both funded by Iran and private benefactors within Saudi Arabia, so I would tend to believe that both of these countries are somewhat to blame... Although, Israel has not helped its own cause much mainly, I think, due to the fact that it has such a powerful benefactor itself... The U.S. Therefore, I would have to say that all these countries are partially at blame here. I think we could throw Lebanon and Syria in the mix too. Oh and the Brits have to take some of the blame also due to the fact that they had such a large part in setting up the state of Israel... But, we can't really blame the U.K. without blaming Germany since if it wasn't for their insane Nazi dictator, the Brits never would have had to set up a country for the Jews. Ok, now mix them all together and what do you have? WW III! Quite a volatile concoction!

I'll answer your question with a question: "Did Hesbollah and Hamas kidnap Israeli soldiers before any of these current hostilities began? Did they go onto Israeli lands to do so?" Yes. Yes.
Saudi Arabia doesn't not want to be on the side of Iran in this deal. They don't want to be on the side of maniacs. And I think much higher of the House of Saud now.

I try not to be anti-Israel but as an American, I find that our foreign policy as far as Israel is concerned, is hypocritical.
To answer the question, NO. I don't blame Hibollah and Hamas for the attacks.
They are all at fault.

Saudi Arabia would blame a donkey's a** if Bush told them to.
How can they be blamed? Did they move into someone's country and oppress them and steal their land? Did they create this situation, or were they just minding their own business riding camels through the desert until we decided to tell them who owned their land?
We call them terrorists....but we forget that we created them. We gave them a reason and an enemy to rally against.
We've done it again in Iraq. Iraq didn't harbor terrorists under Sadam Hussein, but they do now that George is in control. How ironic is that? He should be sent to Guantanemo for harboring terrorists that plot against America and our allies.

Saudis were "inviting" Israel to strike iran utilising their airspace for better than 2 years. It´s no longer unusual; Iran is probing the Saudis hegemony contained in the region, and to have Iran as a neighbour in spite of out nukes is a few thing that doesn't make you or absolutely everyone sleep better. And to have Iran as a neighbour WITH the nukes... Saudis , besides as the different arab leaders, understand o.k. that Israel received't attack them in the journey that they do no longer attack her, and the memories they tell about how Israel is "dreaming about conquering the international" are for fools( i propose their arab subdits). yet each and each and every of the arab leaders understand that Iran will be at liberty to attack them on the first chance. in addition they understand that the only usa it truly is in a position to provide up Iran is Israel. What may you do of their position?
