Our country has risen in justified outrage and has gone to war to pursue those who have inflicted 4,000 casualties on us. Israel has 1/50 of the population of the United States. The about 500 Jews who have been killed by the Palestinians in the past 18 months corresponds to about 25,000 killed in the United States. Would the American people stand still for that?
The about 500 Jews who have been killed by the Palestinians in the past 18 months corresponds to about 25,000 killed in the United States. Would the American people stand still for that?No. Indeed its almost unbelievable how passive the Israelis have been. But that's part of the problem. When Bush acted after 9-11 he tried to gather allies. But even if NO ONE would agree to help us we would have gone in a taken care of business anyway, and screw what the world thinks about it.
Israel needs to stop worrying about what the rest of the world thinks, wage full out war against the Palestinians. Then, and only then, when they are defeated, impose a peace settlement at the point of a gun. That's the only way this thing will ever end.
