plus pointing out the moral lesson that when you do the right thing the first time it's always better for everybody.

The right thing from whose point of view, Romulus? There are people who will beat up on Israel for doing what you call the "right thing". Israel is damned either way when there is a "disagreement" between Muslim and Christian. Of course, there have been plenty of times during Israel's short existence when the state has been damned by both groups. Ah well. At least you're happy today.

As if the right thing were a matter of subjective interpretation. Huh!

There are people who will beat up on Israel for doing what you call the "right thing". Israel is damned either way...

Then Israel had better decide: is it about doing the right thing, or is it about worldly success? Naturally, for those who worship the State as their new golden calf, there's no contradiction.

Either the State of Israel is self-justifying, self-interpreting, and self-authenticating or else it is not. If it is, it's your god. If it is not, you must direct your allegiance to a higher power. Make up your mind.
