It's a shame the Israelis don't understand that their latest reckless gambit will have the opposite effect: by attacking the Dahhiya they are only ensuring more Hezbollah rocket attacks on the Galilee.
It's a shame the Israelis don't understand that their latest reckless gambit will have the opposite effect: by building a fence they are creating more resentment and more future suicide bombers.

It's a shame the Israelis don't understand that their latest reckless gambit will have the opposite effect: by attacking the Iraqi nuclear reactor they are only making Saddam even more determined to build nukes without foreign inspections.
It's a shame the Israelis don't understand that their latest reckless gambit will have the opposite effect: by insisting on US recognition of their capital in Jerusalem, they are driving away moderate Arab regimes who might otherwise make moves toward peace & even normalization.
