Point taken. The point was mainly that the escalations (to which Israel responds with airstrikes or invasions) happen every few years. Most of the time, people in other parts of the world don't really hear about what's going on there in the media. The times when we do are probably because such an escalation happens (e.g. now).

Your links don't work for me by the way, I can see in the source code what you meant to link to, but they don't display as links for me.

Thanks, fixed the links.

What most people don't realize is how much this situation is constant. these escalations are only peaks in an ongoing conflict.

Imagine if Germany launched V2 rockets at Britain for so long the British had built automated defenses to shoot them down.
