Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu answers the questions of British Sky News regarding the war with Hizballah, Syria and more. He gives a very good synopsis of Israel's position. (I would seed a transcript if I could. The video is only a few minutes long and is worth viewing).

Some noteworthy points (my summary, not direct quotes):

  • The British and the US should not be ones to talk about "responding out of proportion", considering the British response to the Blitzkrieg in WWII and the US response to 9/11
  • Hizballah is firing missiles with the direct intention of harming Israeli civilians. This is not morally equivalent to the incidental deaths that occur when Israel fires on Hizballah forces embedded in civilian areas (which Israel regrets).
  • Regarding Syrian offers for dialogue: Instead of offering dialogue, it would be more helpful if they (and Iran) stopped supplying Hizballah with weapons. If they did this, the situation would stop much more quickly than it would as the result of any "dialogue"
