Tevye's prayer was, for those who've seen "Fiddler on the Roof", is a plea that in light of his people's suffering, that the Almighty could let someone else could be the chosen people for a while.

This is why American support is so critical to Israel. Only with America firmly behind us can we stand up to the so-called "world community", the majority of which would be perfectly content to see us destroyed.
Where I disagree with the author is regarding Prime Minister Sharon's disengagement policy. It should be easier to wall off and contain the terrorists in Gaza than to have them in our midst as we try to live in Gaza in small numbers. This is fundamentally different than southern Lebanon where we had no ability to control who came and went and had to rely on compliance with a U.N. resolution by Syria and Lebanon.
Side note: Isn't it amazing how Syria and Lebanon's non-compliance with Resolution 425 is ignored by the U.N.? Only if Israel does something other than the interpretation-du-jour of a resolution is it worth discussing.
