This latest round of the oft-repeated scenario results in Israel giving up land and pride for empty promises, promises which are instantly broken. The pity is every thinking person with a historical perspective beyond 24 hours knows this whole affair is a political and PR farce. It is also a strategic disaster in that our enemies are emboldened. How many more deaths will this cause?
How many times in the past, after another land for peace deal with the Arabs, have I heard the phrases "This time we will hold them to account" or "We'll call their bluff". The nation of Israel, a microcosm for the entire civilized western world, has been steadily retreating, giving up territory so that US and European and Israeli liberals can feel good about their "quest for peace in our time".
What will be astounding to future scholars of the demise of western civilization is that we have the physical power to completely rout our evil enemies, but lack the will to apply that power. Has there ever been such a case in history: a nation walking a path to its own destruction when it had the might to avoid that path?
It is amazing, but we are throwing out the Constitutional limits on Government over terrorism, but we have the ability to wipe Mecca from the face of the earth with 15 minutes notice 24/7.
I kinda guess a lot of people are gaining a whole lot of power, and it is not the Islamics. Islam is a tool of the Globalists, that is working very well. Like someone said, those who will trade freedom for security, will have neither.
Doesn't say much for Churchill, now does it?
I mean, Israel traded land for peace with Egypt in 1978. Oh yeah, and did the same with Jordan in 1994.
Hmmmm. Were you even aware of this? Or did you think we weren't?
