"Israel has allegedly brought upon itself the next string of terror attacks" , that's it since 1948. Why lacking the elimination of those dangerous figures terrorists wouldn't do their dirty job?

Too many commentators are stuck in the ghetto mentality. The "lets be quiet and hope they won't hurt us" strategy of Europes Jews was a resounding failure. Israel is the last place on earth that should believe in that strategy. When you see forces building up on your border you hit them as hard as you can. Start the battle when things are in your favor, don't wait for the enemy to grow. Israel should be hitting Hezbullah constantly and any Iranians caught in the area are a bonus. The "another person will take their place" argument is pathetic. Have you ever heard of an army that goes into battle but doesn't shoot because "more soldiers will take their place"???You are in a war, kill the enemy whereever they are until the war ends....

This typically idiotic article by Barnea serves to emphasize his profound discomfort with Israeli victory. He shares this sick sentiment with the entire Israeli left.

Yes, the Iranians are fond of using proxies. It makes them feel safe. Proxy fighters (Hezbollah) and even proxy victims (the Argentinian Jews in place of Israelis). But this is a problem that was solved more than 50 years ago, when it emerged that the Soviet Union had placed missiles with a proxy close to the American mainland. In October 1962 the American president, John F. Kennedy, made his response: He announced that an attack from the proxy (Cuba) would be regarded as though it had come from the Soviet Union itself. That is, he refused to allow his enemy its disguise, its costume, whereby it pretends to be somebody else and thus avoids retribution. And ultimately the missile were withdrawn. This episode has come to be called the Cuban Missile Crisis and Israel has much to learn from it.
