What should be obvious to most observers is that this is a contest between those who want a return to the age-old policy of status quo ante - i.e. moral equivalency, "terrorists you're wrong but so is Israel - show restraint!" - and those who want a serious solution to the problem.
It has been clearly demonstrated that the Palestinian jihadists - Hezbollah, Islmic Jihad, Hamas, etc., - are an inherent part of the global terrorist network.
Israel is a democracy, a U.S. ally, and a progressive island of Judaeo-Christian Western civilization in a sea of Islamofascist failed states living in the 8th century.
To even pretend that we can seriously negotiate with terrorists and expect them to adhere to their "word" is absolutely ludicrous. By definition the terrorists are beyond the pale of civilization.
Spoke it, told it, and nailed it! Spot on!
