“Our media is giving the impression that Israel is only fighting along the border in a defensive manner. The map exposes this lie of ommission — this is an all out attempt to destroy the country of Lebanon.” (via here and here)

Israeli Military Using Post-Structuralism as “Operational Theory” by Eyal Weizman
Weizman interviews Israeli Military officers who work through a ‘theory focused’ approach to assist their battle.

“… I asked Naveh why Deleuze and Guattari were so popular with the Israeli military. He replied that ’several of the concepts in A Thousand Plateaux became instrumental for us […] allowing us to explain contemporary situations in a way that we could not have otherwise. It problematized our own paradigms. Most important was the distinction they have pointed out between the concepts of “smooth” and “striated” space [which accordingly reflect] the organizational concepts of the “war machine” and the “state apparatus”. In the IDF we now often use the term “to smooth out space” when we want to refer to operation in a space as if it had no borders. […] Palestinian areas could indeed be thought of as “striated” in the sense that they are enclosed by fences, walls, ditches, roads blocks and so on.’5 When I asked him if moving through walls was part of it, he explained that, ‘In Nablus the IDF understood urban fighting as a spatial problem. […] Travelling through walls is a simple mechanical solution that connects theory and practice. …”
Israel needed to hit the terrorist of hisballah where ever they were.
they are hiding among civilians.
the are like cancer
sure they went inside!
pity they didn’t have to time to eliminate more terrorist out there!
the civilians many times are hostage of the terrorist who hides among them.
the middle east is in danger not because of Israel
but because the growing fascism of extreme Islam
look what they are trying to do the innocent people who take an airplane
they are not humans
they are animals that are being feed by hatred, and drugs.
THEY ARE LIKE CANCER
