[Ynet News] Sever Plocker - Hassan Nasrallah's supreme strategic objective when he provoked Israel was to expose what he views as the fundamental weakness of Israeli society (which is made up of "spider webs," as he characterized it); adoration of stability and the good life, and as a result, an Israeli unwillingness to risk a war. The Zionists in Israel are not as determined to fight as we are, claimed Nasrallah. This conception collapsed in the second Lebanon War. Israel proved that its strength has not been eroded and that its motivation to respond to a threat perceived as existential through total war has not been eroded either, regardless of this war's price in both human lives and economic terms. This willingness of the Jews to defend their country is a basic component in the Israeli power of deterrence. Ever since the war of the cities between Teheran and Baghdad in the early 1980s, no geographical area has sustained such a large quantity of rockets and missiles as the Israeli north did during the second Lebanon War. Nasrallah, take a look: Those who survived your 4,000 Katyusha rockets constitute an unyielding home front. 2006-08-16 01:00:00Full Article
