Yep, Jon Snow on C4 News always gives the Israeli spokesperson/govt minister a good verbal kicking. There are a few videos/reports made by people in Lebanon on youtube.com that are rightly terrifying.
I've been watching/studying the middle east and the Israeli conflict a lot and I think it's safe to say that noone has a fucking clue how this is going to end. I can't see Israel attacking Syria, nor Iraq, but still, it could happen. The sooner they get a token UN force in there between hezbollah and the IDF the better, then we'll see how far Israel is really prepared to go, and how far it's willing to risk its extraordinary (and IMO completely unwarranted) respect it has in the non arab world.
