Continued threads have priority because they're less likely to be read.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Re Chegitz's comment
I've been wondering about this as well. I suppose if the various armed groups were to make a sustained habit of going after military targets, it would damage Israel's PR.Why does Israel respond so much more viisciously to attacks on its soldiers than it does to attacks on its civilians?
Glad to know our Israeli friends are safe.Comment

SlowwHand's thread was created after the original one hit 500 posts - and hours before this one.
It has a more precise title as well, including both "Israel" and Hezbollah", which is what this is about - not "the Middle East" as indicated in the title of this thread.Comment

Sigh... but the other hadn't been closed yet... people were still posting in it.Originally posted by Winston

So enough... back on topic.Keep on Civin'

It's not because they were soldiers. It was because they were kidnapped. Blackmail can't be tolerated, and torturing and beheading in the media is extremely demoralizing. Couple that with the fact that both of these attacks were far more intrecately planned than others and came from places that Israel had pulled out of. Israel already tried the carrot pulling out of Lebanon in 2000 and Gaza last year and it hasn't helped. Now it's resorting to the stick.Why does Israel respond so much more viisciously to attacks on its soldiers than it does to attacks on its civilians?Last edited by Edan; July 15, 2006, 13:53."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.

A 17 year old settler was kidnapped near the Westbank, after the kidnapping near Gaza and before the kidnapping by Hizbullah. He was murdered after several days. As far as I can remember Israel did not launched a military campaign in the Westbank to rescue him similar the one in Gaza.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

linkOC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh revealed Thursday morning that the youth had been shot in the head immediately after the kidnapping on Sunday.
And unlike Gaza and Lebanon, Israel hasn't pulled out of the West Bank, which would mean that it would be easier to operate there.Last edited by Edan; July 15, 2006, 14:20."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.
