muddled question- it's not about land occupation but about establishing a "BUFFER ZONE" to prevent Hezbollah rocket attacks...

Oh, it's probably something to do with your neighbour throwing bombs at you all the time & you getting tired of it. I guess it could happen anywhere. Is that so hard to imagine?
Seriously, I reckon if Israel had stronger neighbours, they'd be better off. It's the ones who are weak that believe the next life is better & they get points for sending people there. Poverty does that. I think it was considerate of Israel to drop leaflets first, in all different languages, warning people they would start bombing. Not many countries would do that for someone who wanted to kill them all. I can't think of many offhand. Still, so long as we're OK, who cares? Everyone has to fight their own battles, right?

Israel has done so in the past with Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon. Personally, before this whole thing started several weeks ago, I had a feeling that Israel was going to try to use any excuse to nab some more land in the name of security, occupy it, and then build settlements on it. Im not anti-semetic, I just follow historical patterns

Two Arabs boarded a shuttle out of Washington for New York. One sat in the window seat, the other in the middle seat.
Just before takeoff a fat, little Israeli guy got on and took the aisle
seat next to the Arabs. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll go up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the Israeli. "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, the Arab picked up the Israeli's shoe and spit in it.
When the Israeli returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good. I think I'll have one too." Again, the Israeli obligingly went to fetch it, and while he was gone the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spit in it.
The Israeli returned with the coke, and they all sat back and enjoyed the short flight to New York.
As the plane was landing, the Israeli slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
"How long must this go on?" he asked. "This enmity between our
peoples.... this hatred... this animosity... this spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?"

Basically that's what it boils down to, yeah.
It says in the Bible that God will restore the Isralites to their homelands, so they think the land is theirs. Everyone else who's been living there for a couple of thousand years thinks the land is theirs...
Result: what's been happening for the last 60 years.

What if your neighbors always blew themselves up when they visited, came in and kidnaped your friends, everytime you see them on TV their wearing mask and dancing around in fatiques and carrys RPG's. Their so called God Allah, tells them to go out and kill everyone who isn't Islamic. Wouldn't you finally say enough already and start taking care of business.
Remember entebby? The Israelies are no one to fool around with.
Go Israel, take care of business..........

How many neighbours does Israel have? Are they friends with any of them or just America? I guess in order to have good neighbours you have to be one.

Yeah, it's something that's been boiling for decades now. Something like this was inevitable.
