The more horrific the atrocities radical Islamic terrorists commit against the peaceful people of Israel, the more the media have been conditioned to keep urging Israel to give yet more land and more concessions - in short to commit national suicide, rather than to defend itself.
As Jacoby says: “If Lieberman is as good as his word - and if he is backed up by Benjamin Netanyahu, the new prime minister - we may finally see an end to Israel’s fruitless attempts to buy peace with ever-more-desperate concessions and retreats. Under Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert, Israel surrendered the entire Gaza Strip, released hundreds of arrested terrorists, and even offered to divide Jerusalem with the Palestinian Authority. “But none of these far-reaching measures have brought peace,” said Lieberman. “To the contrary.” The steeper the price Israel has been willing to pay for peace, the more it has been repaid with violence: suicide bombings, rocket attacks, kidnapped and murdered soldiers, and wars with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

God bless the Israelis. They seem to be the ONLY ones left in this world with a brain!!!
I especially loved this quote; “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace,” affirmed President George Washington in his first address to Congress..
If only the people of this nation understood that. Peace is not gained through weakness. In weakness it is all but assured that a threat caused by someone possessing greed, hunger for power, and a determination to rule over that weak nation will rise — whether from inside, or from outside the nation.
That is not PEACE. In fact, it leads to some of the WORST massacres our world has ever seen...
I wonder if Israel ever had a plan to overthrow the US Government, its not like other nations don’t do it all the time.
I can just imagine the Mossad greeting Obama in the Oval room.
Liberals start wars, and Conservatives finish them.
That is the way of history.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

bump for a good leader. I’ve been waiting for many years for Lieberman to be empowered.
Finally, harsh realism from Israel
