Of course they did - that's become SOP for Israel.

At this point, mass murder is such an integral part of their national image, their political system and their economy that they have to do whatever they can to keep engaging in it. They cannot allow peace under any circumstances, because then they'd have to stop murdering people and stealing their land and without that, they'd have nothing.

This isn't new on any way. That's how Mossad has always operated, just like the CIA. It's just that until recently people didn't notice little old Israel much hiding behind their US guard dog. Blaming the US for everything was usually correct, but also meant that others were able to hide in the shadows better.

If it came out that Hezbollah or someone did this to Israel the amount of rage would be incalculable. but since Israel did this, there won't be any reaction from the powers that be.

It's pathetic.

Don't forget that they also made enemies out of friends along the way

Visiting occupied southern Lebanon earlier this week, Netanyahu declared to Israeli troops that "our insistence is that we will not leave... until the threat is removed."

Clever terrorist, you are the threat

If I was trying to make a peace deal, and some other country would go to such lengths to sabotage them, I know that i would do my part to make that countries future a hell.
