<< I wish the Israelis threatened to be as bad as everyone always claims they were...for one day. If the Israeli Government said, for the next year, we are going to keep track of all the things we are wrongly accused of. At the conclusion of that year, we are, for exactly one day, going to be as horrible as you have made us out to be by doing all that accuse us of. If you accuse us of killing thousands of innocents, we will kill thousands of innocents. If you accuse us of driving thousands of Muslims from their homes ... we will actually drive thousands of Muslims from their homes.
We wish there were a better way to make clear the difference between the reality and the Arab's lies, but unfortunately, there is no other way left after 50 years of trying.
After that 24 hours is over, no one will ever mistake our extremely limited precision necessary defenses as brutal or extreme again. If you refuse to put your rhetoric in context, we will put it in context for you. >>
You are seriously in error about the timing of such an action.
Israel's suggested twenty-four hour period of acting out the "palestinians" and the world's lies should begin Right Now.
And the next twelve months -- or so [We can take it!] -- be spent listening to the whimpers -- from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan -- of the survivors of the abjectly defeated and ejected barbarian occupiers of Sumaria, Judea and Gaza.
And to those of their Foggy Bottom, East River, EUro-peon and other turd-world inciters, enablers, facilitators, apologists, financiers and profiteers.
Israel is, and always was, a decent, fair and humane country. I think it appropriate that they give their enemies fair warning of their course of action, and allow them one last (resolution 1441 type eighteenth last) last chance to be engage in dialogue based on actual reality.
