Min. Landau: “Weakness Invites Terrorism”
Israel National News ^ | 11:50 Aug. 13, '03 / 15 Av 5763

Posted on 08/13/2003 4:38:25 AM PDT by yonif

(IsraelNN.com) Minister Uzi Landau said last night that “all of our gestures to the Palestinians and the Hizbullah are interpreted as weakness by the other side; and weakness invites terrorism, murder and death. Therefore, we must cease all good-will gestures.” The Road Map, Landau said, will be a trap for us as long as the Palestinians are not carrying out their obligations.

Regarding the conflict in the north, Landau said, “In Lebanon, we’ve got to put an end to sending messages, as they have just brought terror down on us. It is time to start striking Syrian and Lebanese targets. When that language is clear, we will not need ‘messages’.”

He made the comments to an ITIM correspondent at the Klezmer Festival last night in Tzfat (Safed).

So good to see you, I have missed your talented threads. We will never forget, no matter how much the manipulative media hides the evidence in their litter box.

True, all of our gestures of 'goodwill' to the terrorists are seen as weakness.

The road map is a trap for the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, one must resist the temptation to retaliate until and if the trap is set.

You should see this thread on what the DNC is asking people to do for Billy Jeff's Birthday.It really is beyond the pale,but upon further reflection, should've been expected from someone appointed by "The Skunk" to that post.

This is what a friend in New York who worked for Rand said.

Bush appointed Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace, and will recess appoint him over the Kennedy-Dodd obstruction.

There is a fist inside Bush's diplomatic glove.
