israel continues to respond.

it is high time that israel take the initiative.
the shia axis must be destroyed, or at the very least, diminished.
if israel continues to evade the unavoidable war, she will
have a much harder time to achieve victory and casualties
will be much higher in number.
history teaches us that victory belongs to those who act quickly
and preemptively.

i hvae never read such academic garbage as what yadlin wrote in his piece. you see why he was the security guy for herzog- an absolute wimp who runs at the first sign of hezbollah noise.

yadlin dwells on process, whereas israel needs to show a bottom line. he proposes endless dialogues, a waste of time. russia has interests in syrian ports and bases, and is in bed wiht iran. not unfriendly to israel , yet supporting israel's enemes, israel has to do for itself. like herzog, he says let talks to the various powers of how to preven this or that. wrong-israel has to do for itself.
