Great article by Sharmine Narwani at The Huffington Post on Israel beating the drums of war one country at a time. There have been rumors floating around for quite awhile that another attack on Lebanon will take place shortly.
The link can be found here.
So instead of self-examination, Israel's conflicted, and increasingly right-wing political body unleashed a belligerent tone -- angry, defiant, threatening, unfocused like a petulant and wounded child. Diversionary tactics came into play to focus domestic and international attention elsewhere and fill the frustrating void -- Hamas in Gaza, the potential nuclear aspirations of Iran, Palestinian intransigence on peace talks, Hezbollah's weapons, Syria, Turkey, anti-Semitism, the Goldstone Report.

Not that I have much respect for the Huffington Post, but... everyone is beating the drums of war all the time in the Middle East. You just have to find the right person to interview.
