It is most natural that the Israeli government and people would be anxious for peace. After all, when leaders of the Zionist movement began to press for the establishment of a Jewish state, few beloved that the new country would be in constant conflict with its neighbors. This attitude was naive but understandable. Now, after six decades far too many Israelis succumb to the natural but dangerous delusion that peace with the Arabs is possible. A more realistic appraisal of Israel's position can be gained from the Bible. Conflict with neighbors runs like a thread through the Bible. If Israelis want to hold onto the land that generations of Jews prayed for and thousands of Israelis died for, the country must come to the realization that the only way for “peace” with the Arabs is for all the Jews to leave the area. God forbid that a catastrophe should ever happen but it might if the peace movement gains ascendancy in Israeli politics.

Okay, name us one Peace Party in any major area of the world at any time in history, whose myopic view was nothing but an innocent childs dream.

Just one.
