For the first time ever, I agree with your post.
Only one note: "Good job Israel" should be "Good job Israeli government".
Many Israelis, including myself, don't agree with our government's actions.
Can we do something about it? Yes we can.
Next elections they won't get our votes.
I can only hope that by then it won't be too late.
Here in the U.S., it appears that 90+ percent of the people strongly disagree with our governments open borders policy...That does not however, deter the President from pursuing his agenda...
I wonder what the majority of Israelis think of this current maneuver in Israel...
Sharon appears to be tying the hands of the IDF and I believe this action will guarantee you a lot of activity in the near future...
The "right wing hawk" "Bulldozer" was overwhelmingly elected in response to this failed "peace" nonsense last time. Israelis wanted change. His platform opposed unilateral withdrawal from Gaza.
Labor, Likud, it makes no difference.
The change required is much more fundamental than just a new leader. Israel must decide that they want to survive, in the long term, not by absorbing some number of daily terror attacks and capitulating to genocidal arab muslim terrorists and calling that "life" in Israel, but by proactively aggressively killing the enemy with extreme prejudice, fury, and finality.
Passivity and weakness *invite attack* and that's exactly what will happen to Israel regardless of how many "painful concessions" are made.
Stand up, act, fight, take charge, lead, win.
Do it now.
Return Israel to her former respected self.
Only problem is the last election they did not get your votes. They just did what they wanted anyway. Traitors in a time of war should be executed by a court of law, not put up for re-election.
