There is no cease fire in islam!

They are COMMANDED by their state/religion/law, to commit genocide against the Jews, and the rest of mankind.

Why does the civilized world accept genocidal mohammetans?

I have long thought that the Israeli's should name every action taken by the Palestenians 'Provocation1', 'Provocation2' ..., and every resulting military response should be named 'Response1', 'Response2' ...

That way everything is crystal clear as to cause and effect.

Brilliant essay by Sowell.

This is the key sentence...

“In the short run, they save some lives. But in the long run they cost far more lives, by lowering the cost of aggression.”

He should have titled the piece: “The Economics of Cease Fires”.

I remember reading a book entitled, O Jerusalem!, in the early 1970’s that lays out the problem very well. Jerusalem is a holy site of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

As I recall, the book predicts that the feuding which has gone on for hundreds of years will never be solved.

If you want to minimize civilian casualties, then minimize the dangers of war, by no longer coming to the rescue of those who start wars.

I stand in awe of this man...

At one time, launching a military attack on another nation risked not only retaliation but annihilation.
