How should the Israeli government have responded to the Hezbollah's abduction of the two IDF soldiers?

Question

There has been so much media talk by a few persons on the "disproportionate" Israeli response to the abduction of two IDF soldiers by Hezbollah. I am yet to hear, perhaps, the "step-by-step" response Israel should have taken before the precipitation to what is happening now. Surely, I wouldn't have expected the Israeli PM & the whole Knesset members going to prostrate before Nasralla and Saniora begging and crying for them to release the two captured soldiers. Someone said: "give a mouse a plate of cookies, it will ask for a glass of milk". So, what should the response of Israel have been?

Answer 1

I think their actions are legal and correct. The U.S. does everything in their powers to have captured soldiers returned, why should Israel be any different?
Remember, who started the violence (recently), becuse it was not Israel.

Answer 2

This is a question that goes begging for an answer because Israel and the US (the United States of Israel, one country) are unwilling to acknowledge or face up to the real problem and have gone into massive denial. The problem is NOT Hezbollah; Hezbollah grew in response to the problem. The capture of the two soldier was NOT the problem either, it was an indication of the real problem that has been ongoing for decades. Until Israel is ready to admit to the real problem these things will continue, and the hatred against the jews will be inflamed even more every time the jews go out and bomb Arab cities into dust and kill hundreds of innocent civilians including babies and young children. Amazingly, the jews cannot figure this out, or maybe their agenda is just to destroy and kill, but whatever it is, as long as they keep doing it the problems will not only continue but get worse. How stupid does any group of people have to be not to realize this? It is utterly amazing.

To understand the root cause of the problem you have to go back nearly 100 years, before the whole thing started. There was no problem then between the jews and Arabs living in Palestine, none at all. The population at the time was approximately 90% Arab and 10% jewish, with a few Christians tossed into the mix and had been that way for hundreds of years, and they lived together in peace. The massive influx of foreign jews from Russia and Europe was the catalyst, and the thing was set off when these Zionists began systematically destroying hundreds of Arab villages and towns and driving the inhabitants off their lands (419 Arab villages were destroyed by the jews in one period of 1947-1949, with most of the destruction taking place in 1948). The jews forced Arabs off the land and occupied it in their stead. This is the real "root cause" of the problem, NOT Hezbollah, and it has had 60 years to simmer.

If Israel is really interested is solving the problem of violence and attacks against itself, Israel needs to come out of denial of history and (1) admit that it destroyed all these places and displaced the Arab population, (2) offer some form of reparations for its crimes, (3) get out of all the occupied territories (right now upwards of 85% of the West bank is occupied by Israel), (4) get the so-called "jewish settlers" out of Arab areas, all of them, (5) provide landmine maps to enable minfields laid down by the IDF in Southern Lebanon to be cleared.

This is the bare minimum of what Israel must do, but being in denial they will never admit to any of it. Until they do, the wars will continue.

Answer 3

as quickly as Upon a time Israeli intelligence could have quietly scooped up the to blame and quietly dropped them in a deep hollow. This outing the Israelis desperate on emulating u . s . a .'s kick interior the door mindset. Too many reruns of 'law enforcement officers' being performed in Tel Aviv. What rather speaks of failure intelligence sensible is that Israel is having a heck of a time pin pointing those rockets. that could desire to have been completed before. yet to come again on your considerable question. those squaddies ought to have had some form of GPS gadget planted on or in them. interior seconds of being snatched up an Israeli helicopter ought to have been interior the air alongside with different gadgets waiting to pass in such situations. Come on Israel, you watch an identical movies as unquestionably everyone in u . s . a .. no person ought to be able to be snatched away noticeably squaddies. the two Israel is getting dumber or Hezbollah is getting smarter. or possibly it rather is all assembly interior the midsection that's a clutter.

Answer 4

How should Hezbollah's have responded to the abduction (more than 2 off course)of their people? How should the Arab have responded to the abduction of their people n occupation of their land? Just label them as terrorist. When its time that the whole world 'eat' this, go for a kill! Can't u see the 'step-by-step' response? people have short memories (except the terrorist) USE EM'!

Answer 5
