Reason Number 486 to launch strikes against Iran

Israeli Insider reports today:

"Islamic Jihad members said Wednesday they were hoping to provoke Israeli retaliation and sabotage the truce to restore Palestinian unity against a common enemy -- Israel....Islamic Jihad takes orders from Ramadan Shallah, a Palestinian from Gaza who now lives in exile in Syria."

Add this to what Haaretz reports today:

"Syrian President Bashar Assad asked United States Senator Arlen Specter to convey a message from him to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, asking him to tell the prime minister that 'Syria is interested in peace negotiations with Israel.'"

Add the above two to this report from the Jerusalem Post:

"Hizbullah is paying Palestinian splinter groups "thousands of dollars" for each Kassam rocket fired at the western Negev, The Jerusalem Post has learned."

Finally, add this from YaLibnan:

"Mohammad Ali Jozu said of Hezbollah that they are in the middle of a coup against the government in which they were a major partner for one and a half years.He added " they are threatening to close roads , airports, ports etc….this is no more a peaceful demonstration , but a coup against the state"."

So, we have Islamic Jihad who is firing Kassam rockets into Israel for $1000 per launch by Hezbollah, a terrorist organization funded by Iran, supported logistically by Syria, and attempting a coup against a democratically elected government in Lebanon. We have Assad saying he wants peace negotiations with Israel while still funneling arms to Hezbollah. And finally we have Iran, who is in violation of UNSC Resolution trying to make nuclear weapons.

The question is:

Who is the knucklehead here?

The Palestinians, Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran....

or

The US and Israel for not bombing these jokers out of existence.

More to the point, why does the ISG recommend talking to these talking to these jokers about helping out in Iraq. I guess we figure they will help out in Iraq like they are helping out in Palestine or Lebanon.
