Another Explosion in Jerusalem

Israel needs to look back to WWII and take a lesson from the Allies' playbook.

The problem is not the military: the Israeli society has been afflicted by the same self-doubt that the rest of the West experiences. It's the leftists in their midst that are the problem. And, of course, the "world opinion," which sides with the Arabs: Israel is not a large country like ours; it cannot ignore the world to the extent we can.

sick over this cycle of violence,

There is no cycle of violence in the Middle East.

It is the same cycle as here at home. Criminals continue to rob and murder, and police apprehends them using whatever force that is justifiable under each particular circumstance. Is this a cycle of violence? Of course not: if criminals stop their activities tomorrow, there would be no police action taken.

The same is in the Middle East. There is a murderous aggression against Israel for its annihilation (as declared), counting five wars in fifty years and terrorist campaigns.

Calling it a "cycle" of violence implies that Arabs respond to the actions of Israel. This is not true. Their goal is to wipe our Israel from the face of the Earth. The PLO charter still states that, I believe. The actions of the Arab countries in the last 55 years show that very well. Israel wants to be left alone to grow oranges in the desert. Arabs want to turn orchards into dust, as long as the Jews eat the fruit.

Sorry, but I find it disgusting that a self-proclaimed "conservative" on this board subscribes to the "cycle of violence" mantra of the Left. I am disgusted particularly because it is on the thread dealing with the latest murder. Read Post #211. Cycle of violence, you say?

He was looking for a fight. Does he support setting a boundary for Israel and sticking to it? Or are we witnessing a replay of manifest destiny? Israel should go ahead and build their wall and be done with it.

My solution: Warning, religious dead enders should probably not read this, it might interfere with their work toward armageddon.

Israel should be walled off until such time as an understanding can be reached between Islam and Judeo-Christianity. The WTC site should be rebuilt as a faith and theological center used to foster understanding. The work done there should be focused on building understanding and strengthening ties between all faiths. I don't know what to do with Jerusalem. Suggestions welcome.

Have a nice day.

what do you call it? One side throws a blow, the other side responds with a blow, ad naseum. sure seems cyclical to me. The muslims have their heads screwed on backwards and need to be reformed. They teach hate as a way of life. Their current crop of theologians are a bankrupt bunch of dead enders for sure.

Happy?
