I am disappointed that Israel accepted a cease fire under such PC kissieass terms. I guess that is the price they pay for electing a Prime Minister with a name like Ol' Mert. Wasn't he the former landlord of Lucy and Desi?

Most of the world seems to be content to sacrifice Israel rather than confront the long-term push by Islamic radicals to wipe it off the face of the earth.

But consider two things: Israelis remember when Jews tried to deal with oppression by getting along, and as a result were marched into death camps by the millions.

And they have a nuclear arsenal.

Would Israel, if threatened with being invaded and overrun by radical armies that would surely march its citizens into new death camps, use the bomb?

You bet it would. Under similar circumstances so would France, Britain, Russia, the U.S. and other countries that continue to urge peace and cross their fingers.

Under similar circumstances so would France, Britain, Russia, the U.S. and other countries that continue to urge peace and cross their fingers. I have to disagree. I think Israel is the only nation that would use the bomb and have a majority of it's people behind the move. I also believe they are the only ones who can use the bomb without nuclear retaliation. I don't believe we'd use ours, I KNOW France wouldn't their politicians would sell it for profit first. Same goes for Russia. The US and the UK might but I don't think the citizens have the stomach nor the historical understanding to back such a move. Remember pulling the strings of all of these Islamofascists are the communists. They seem to back the underdog Shiites and Saudi Arabia represents the in power Sunnis who are more cozy with us than the communists. The cold war is still on, it's just being fought thru islamofascists now.
