Let's stop for a second and consider the reasons behind Israel's recent deployment, bombings, etc....

The confrontation began July 12 with a Hezbollah's raid inside Israel in which two Isreali soldiers were captured.....EDIT:  the day before the kidnapping of the soldiers, Israel kidnapped two Palestinians (And here we are now, July 22) Since then:
LEBANON: At least 372 have been killed and 1,482 wounded, according to Lebanese security officials. Among them are 20 Lebanese army soldiers and at least eight Hezbollah guerrillas. Among the civilian deaths are 8 Canadians, 2 Kuwaiti nationals, 1 Iraqi, 1 Sri Lankan, 1 Jordanian. Among the latest deaths Saturday: • Two Hezbollah guerrillas in clashes at border. • One in strike on Lebanese Broadcasting Corp.'s transmission center in Fatqa, northeast of Beirut. • Two in strike in southern village of Kafra. IN ISRAEL: 34 Israelis have been killed, including 19 members of the miltary, according to authorities. More than nine soldiers have been wounded, and 231 civilians, according to rescue officials.

Did Israel go too far? Deploying and bombing over 2 soliders captured is worth the price of what's happening now?

Consider....
Respectfully,

The fighting was sparked by Hezbollah's July 12 capture of two Israeli soldiers and the killing of eight others in a cross-border raid. A massive Israeli offensive followed and Hezbollah responded by firing hundreds of rockets at Israel.

Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah acknowledges that Israeli troops can sweep across south Lebanon. But if he and his militants can survive and keep fighting, he will cement his image as the unlikely new hero of Arab nationalism.

yes it is but it  might also be a clue for you how dangerous it is to wave with a american flag in internet.
that flag is a symbol for something bad for the rest of the world.

Level, i do admit that  i can be prejudgious about this, and who nows if you and me would meet in reality we could could  have hell of a good time over a couple of beers, but hey hey hey...you have no idea how bad the symbol of that flag is to the rest of the world.

Imgaine 50 years of your foreign poiltics, how that have humilited people from all around the world,  american companies that have had no clue about the cultures in europe and the arabic world that have pretty much raped us, and our goverments.
This is just pure facts. The world is feed up.
There are tons of fantastic people living in your countries and i have many american friends, but someone must stop that incerdible bad foreign poltics that your country and your company have done over the last 50 years.

Yes we have all contributed good and bad stuff the the world, even USA , but there are...just...way way way too much bad stuff now from your country now.

My adivse is that you should keep what you like in your own country, and when any of you in your country acts , in any way, outside your borders, you MUST MUST MUST start to listen.

If you dont, your country will self die.

Which is sad in the long run as there are so many things that the anglo english countries have in common, which should  be the community.

do any of you people actually know anyone who lives in israel? I lived there with my cousins and uncle and great uncle for three and a half years. My cousins currently serve in the Israeli Defense Forces, on active duty. It's the constant global pissing match that fuels the fires on both sides. 98 percent of the islamic population of the middle east and 98 percent of the jewish population of the middle east just want the radicals on both sides to leave them the hell alone. Then someone lobs a rocket, or fires a missile or whatever, and this is what happens. You people need to shut the hell up and let them take care of their own problems instead of judging them and dissecting everything. The whole media concept of "if it bleeds it leads" has created a ton of bloodshed over there, and you people are feeding RIGHT into it.
