Israel is begging to lose me

In the last two days, Israel has bombed a Red Cross facility and now a UN peacekeeping force. They've apologized, but it seems increasingly clear Israel is simply bombing for bombing's sake, i.e., there is no rhyme or reason to Israel's strikes. And as many commentators have pointed out, there is a certain logical inconsistency in demanding that the Lebanese govt. crush Hezbollah while Israeli warplanes continue to hammer at Lebanese military targets.

It's depressing how unsolvable this crisis is. Get ready for the long, slow burn.
