So Lebanon/Hezbollah feels that it is OK for rockets to be fired into Israel but Israel is not justified in returning fire.
This is the same attitude that exists in Gaza.
Officially, we can not do it, but wink, wink here are the supplies needed.:whiste:
And Israel should not respond to stop it; it would be unfair ("disproportionate".

First of all, EK, your report is one sided, Lebanon has also filed a UNSC 1701 complaint against Israel for its disproportionate resultant shelling of Lebanon. And the UN has also sent a IMHO, proper message to both Lebanon and Israel not only calling for restrain on both sides, and also making it clear, its not Lebanese Hezbollah but rather Al-Quida stateless terrorists who are trying to provoke both Lebanon and Israel to attack its other.
Something clearly not in Israeli or Lebanese interests.
And to maybe toot my own horn, a Stateless terrorists tactic a I have been warning this forum for years about. And now its happening and its not just the first incidence. As stateless terrorists can easily smuggle in a few rockets into various countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and even Jordan, simply because most of the Territory is ill policed by the home country because its mostly uninhabited desert. And then peg them into Israel hoping to suck Israel into massive retaliation. And as soon as Israel starts to massively retaliate against one Arab State, the Stateless terrorists will peg rockets into Israel by sneaking into another State. And soon it will become a war of Survival, of Israel against all Arab States. Leaving the Arab States no choice either, they have to throw all State assets into attacking Israel or perish.
Is Israel justified in demanding all surrounding Arab States prevent trespass by Stateless terrorists up to no good? That is the key question.
Or we could ask if the USA could do the same given our porous borders. As we have at least 12 million mainly Hispanic illegal immigrants sneaking into the USA to find work. A situation that has persisted for many decades without grave consequences. But what has changed recently is Mexican drug gangs have corrupted and run a muck in Mexico itself. Now suppose these Mexican narco terrorists decided to take a page out of the books of Stateless terrorists in Lebanon and Egypt, smuggle in rockers into the USA, peg them into Mexico from US soil, in the hopes of provoking a shooting war between the USA and Mexico. Would the USA be any better prepared to stop them compared to Lebanon, Jordon, Syria, or Jordon?
That is the question, EK really has to think about and answer in this thread.
