The worst violence we've seen in a while is going on in Israel right now. Hezbollah has fired rockets from Lebanon that have hit Israeli cities in the north, including Haifa. I briefly lived in Haifa last year. This is very scary. On the one hand, it seems wrong to give in to Hezbollah's demands for prisoner release. On the other hand, Israel may have to take the high road eventually, evacuate from Sheeba Farms and release prisoners too. But it just doesn't seem right in the face of these attacks. Israel no longer occupies Lebanon; the Sheeba farms are technically in Syria, though Syria calls them Lebanese. It's a bit confusing. But the reality is that Israel did not provoke this attack from Hezbollah.
