Don't You Love It When Some Of The Clearest Solutions To Israel's Predicament Are Prescribed By Guys With Names Like 'Mohamed' And 'Mario'?

As Mohamed Eljahmi, a Boston-based Libyan American activist whose brother, Fathi Eljahmi, is imprisoned in Libya for speaking out for political reform, said recently, in calling for a "permanent solution," which at present can only be a military one, not political or diplomatic, because:

"Refusal to accept Israel’s right to exist is the root of conflict in the Middle East."

And:

"On the Arab side there are no legitimate and visionary leaders who are willing to take the risk [for peace]."

Meanwhile, Mario Loyola, a former DOD official, states that the only way to stop the missile terrorism, the purpose of which is to "depopulate Israel," is by requiring (e.g., through a Security Council resolution, authorizing "all necessary means, including the use of force") Iran and Syria to stop supplying Hezbollah. Loyola then makes this observation:

In the meantime, the world must recognize something about the innocent civilians in Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon whose homes and lives have been devastated by this war. Over a third of Lebanon’s population voted for Hezbollah in the last elections. They did not cast their votes for peace. What they voted for was war, and war is what they got.
