4) Accept the fact that Hezbollah can't be destroyed.
5) Enjoy the nice weather. Israel is a beautiful country.
1.) No but they can throw rockets and kidnap your people.
2.) Repel, OK, but how about killing them before they rocket and kidnap your people.
3.) What do you bomb? You can't bomb the Insurgents in Iraq so why would you bomb Hezbollah. Besides, the evidence is that this does not work. Other things work much better.
4.) That's asking a lot of the average Israeli, and their physical destruction is not required. Their consistent suppression is.
5.) Can't enjoy the weather if you spend all day in the shelters while the Arabs shoot Kasam at you. Ask the populations of Haifa, Kyriat Shimona, and Sderot.
