You cannot reason with me and yet you insist on replying?

I was pointing out that violence begets violence and that it is cyclical. The view from the other side of the fence looks exactly the same (i.e., there are plenty of missle damaged houses in Gaza and Lebonnon, as well as Haifa and Northern Israel, etc).

If you cannot see what your encourages support for your enemies you will never understand how to undermine that support. Bombing them back into the stone age clearly isn't working.

You can call it 'justifiable homocide' if you like, but's still murder, for all the neutral language.

But you have not shown as I pointed out, (and cannot show because the empirical evidence contradicts it) that passivity reduces violence. Standing peacefully in the face of violent assault results in injury or death, not tranquility.

Your apparent refusal to comprehend this leads me to question your intellectual capacity - long quotes from lengthy dissertations (which are similarly disconnected from reality) not withstanding.

So by all means show me where 6 months of passivity on the part of Israel has ever resulted in 6 months of Israelis not being killed by Mohammedans. You may look for any period from 1948 to present. That's 58 years. Demonstrate the validity of your argument. If such validity exists.

We haven't even started "bombing them back into the stone age", yet. Of course, they're not far advanced from stone age peoples. Flintstone nazis.
