Missiles' goal: To perpetuate the occupation

[Phx_Dem]

All Israelis had good reasons to support the recent war in Lebanon, as well as in Gaza. All had good reason to regret it didn't end in victory. This is the obvious part. It is the self evident interest of all those who wish to see a peaceful Middle East to prevent Iran, Syria and fundamentalist Islam in general from achieving hegemony in the region.

But the left and center – together they're the majority in Israel – had specific reasons to be especially supportive of the war. Because it was a war about what the left and center most cherished: Israel's need to end the occupation. Most Israelis now believe, rightly, that without partition Israel's future existence is dubious. Hezbollah and Hamas attacked Israel's ability to extract itself from the occupation. And, for the time being, they have succeeded.
