re: #23 Obdicut

I really hope this action from Israel was necessary, and that this isn’t just the new ultra-right coalition flexing their muscles and trying to look tough.

The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. There is much criticism within Israel, especially from residents of the south who have been in the line of fire for years, that the Likud-led government has not been tough enough. With the recent upsurge of missile fire, the action being taken is likely necessary from both a security and political perspective.
