They are far far smaller in number. It won't be hard to quash them. Sit back, and watch history made, and see firsthand what the lecturers will be discussing with their students for years to come. Not that you could grasp any of what you are seeing.

If Israel were able to sign a peace treaty with all its neighbors, with defined borders, it would do so, and honor it. But there are powerful Muslim factions that won't be satisfied with any less than driving all Infidels out of all former Muslim countries. Israel's message is "mess with us and we'll tromp you good" which is about all their enemies understand and respect. Pullbacks in Gaza and southern Lebanon were just viewed as weakness and repaid in suicide bombs and rockets. I frankly wish Israel had a better strategy *that worked* but I can't imagine what it would look like, other than the Masada thing. John

Which makes it OK ? I'm not entirely sure that's true of all the bombed areas anyway ! Even if I thought it was acceptable in the first place. Certainly not true of the UN post that Israel shelled, killing 4 unarmed peace monitors. Israel's out of control. Graham
