Beruit

When I was growing up in the 80s, comparing something to Beruit was to indicate utter devastation. It was a city destroying itself with civil war.

Let's hope know it does not become a city destroyed from the outside- and left with factions to fight over the rubble.

The escalation of the conflict between Israel/Hezbollah/Lebanon is very disheartening.

My question to the Israeli government: Do you really believe that this escalation is improving the chances of recovering your soldiers alive?

I cannot see how.

A proportionate action (limited troop interventions, special operations forces, etc.) would have been justified and appropriate. It may also have yielded positive results. Isreal has gone well beyond proportionate action.

We can only hope that other nations are not drawn into this conflict (such as Syria).
