		<description><![CDATA[If there were some imperative for war (e.g. the potential for destruction), then, certainly, the peril would have to be met with equal or greater opposition.

But there is no existential threat (leaving aside Iran&#039;s nuclear drive as a separate discussion). No Arab country is threatening Israel or global Judaism. Even terrorism, truly a scourge, cannot possibly terminate Israel or global Judaism.

Your POV does not deal with the world as it is. It certainly fit in the 1950&#039;s and 1960&#039;s, but in the world of the past half-century Israel has been freed of the threat of impending annihilation. Israel and global Jewry need to begin dealing with reality. Because in reality, throwing around our weight so imprudently only strengthens opponents.

Military strength and belligerence have limits. WWI did not create peace. The Allies&#039; humiliation of Germany sowed the seeds for Nazism and WWII. It was the Marshall Plan that created peace between Germany and Europe / the rest of the world. The only long-term solution is peace.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;When your enemy is dead...&quot;
&quot;...sub human muslim savages...&quot;

It seems you&#039;re suggesting the wholesale murder of all Muslims, everywhere. You are allowing your paranoia to drive you to maniacal, homicidal fantasies. And, long before such genocidal dreams could be achieved, they would induce such fierce &quot;blow back&quot; (from the entire civilized world) that would Jews would be isolated forever. This is aside from the fact that all of Jewish post-ancient history argues for the absolute immorality of even such a suggestion.

No middle ground? Really? How do you account for Rambam&#039;s glorious life..in Egypt?? Similarly, many thousands of Sephardi Jews, over the course of multiple generations, chose to stay in Islamic countries, and achieved great success there.

You fail to distinguish between Islam vs. Islamists (hard-core fundamentalists). It is a fatal failure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have dealt with these sub human muslim savages since I was 17, in a very nasty place called Beirut. Islam is islam and where ever islam goes, the blood always flows, without exception, period, it all comes down to a very simple equation, it is either you and yours survive and thrive or theirs. There is no middle ground where islam is concerned and never has been. Good luck with your utopian world of kumbaya and a COEXIST sticker on your Prius, I&#039;ll say a prayer for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says I&#039;ve whitewashed anything? The problem is that you fail to distinguish between terrorists / Islamo-fascists vs. all Muslims (or Islam itself).

I wholeheartedly support the war on terror. However, it will never ON ITS OWN bring us peace. If you want to enslave all Jewish children to an eternal war, where we are vastly outnumbered by our enemies (Israel vs. all Arabs, or worse, all Jews vs. all Muslims) then it&#039;s not my hold on reality that ought to be questioned.

Peace, ultimately, is the only lasting solution. And, given that, there can be little doubt that the timing for making peace will likely never be better than now (where &quot;now&quot; is in terms of this half of the 21st century). Jews now have a state, and it is very strong. Israel is a vital part of the West, and has critical support from an alliance of nations whose global vitality the world has never seen before. West Bank Palestinians have been taking security responsibility for years. NOW is the time to drive a wedge between the West Bank&#039;s (relative) moderation vs. Gaza&#039;s fundamentalism and militarism. NOW is the time to negotiate with them in earnest.

Fight terror, with all our might.

Seek peace, with all our resolve.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, nu, who said &quot;non-threatening&quot;? I said that the terrorists are not an existential threat. Big difference.

Israel has always been subject to heinous terror. But focusing EXCLUSIVELY on strong responses to terror actually enhances the power of the terrorists. It leads us to abandon the initiative, and it gives terrorists ultimate veto power over any progress the nation may be able to otherwise achieve. Thankfully, Israeli leadership has always known to avoid this trap. So for example, we made peace with Egypt (despite their sponsorship of the Fedayeen terrorists). And Rabin famously said that we&#039;ll &quot;fight terrorism as if there is no peace process&quot; and &quot;pursue peace as if there is no terrorism.&quot;

War, though necessary in some circumstances, certainly does NOT provide a lasting resolution to intra-nation conflict. In case you haven&#039;t noticed, the world has changed. In ancient times, wars meant the complete eradication of the losers. That&#039;s how conflicts with the Edomites, Hittites, and countless other civilizations, all ended. But in the modern world, this form of resolution is not at all accepted. And with globalization, financial integration, the U.N., etc., the world has the mechanisms to enforce it. Admittedly, the Holocaust, Rwanda, and other genocides, are proof of the fallibility of the mechanisms. But there can really be little doubt that, if Israel were to completely destroy Gazans or the West Bank, Israel would be totally ostracized from the rest of the world. So your &quot;solution&quot; would simply never work.

I, also, don&#039;t have the &quot;solution&quot;. But I DO know that, ultimately, it will involve making peace with our enemies. After centuries of killing and repression, England and Ireland are on the path toward peace. Is there some reason why Jews and Arabs would be less able to achieve the same thing...??]]></description>

It amazes me how often the israeli dove camp deludes itself with this notion of how non-threatening wanting to kill us all while supporting/commiting heinous terror attacks.


Before the gaza and lebenon withdrawls most of israel did not live under the threat of missile attacks? After the withdrawls all of israel is in range.

Palestinian Arabs – The People Who Always Refuse a State
Lee S. Bender and Jerome R. Verlin 
FEBRUARY 18, 2014 

There are many peoples on this planet that would do anything for their independence, sovereignty, and a state of their own if it was offered to them. Just ask the Kurds, Tibetans, Basques, and Chechens. ‎

Yet there is one singular group that continues to spurn offers of statehood, missing and wasting numerous opportunities, and blaming others for its “victimhood”- and then commits horrendous acts of terrorism and violence when offered almost all of what it wants. We are referring, of course, to the Palestinian Arabs – a people who, unlike the Kurds, do not have their own religion, language, or culture that’s different in essence from their Arab brethren in neighboring ‎Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The Palestinian Arabs have answered every peace offer for their own “Palestinian” state with one unequivocal word, “no,” and then initiated a wave of hatred, violence, and terrorism. The reason? Because it would also mean recognition of and co-existence with a non-Arab people, the Jews.

Actually, there has been a Palestinian Arab state in the region since 1921, located in the eastern 78 percent of the Palestine Mandate designated for a Jewish National Home: ‎Jordan. Even today, more than two-thirds of the people of Jordan are Palestinian Arabs. The offers of another Palestinian Arab state (which would be the 23rd Arab state) in the remaining western portion of the Palestine Mandate date back to the 1937 Peel Commission. That began a consistent pattern of rejected offers through to the present: 1947 UN Partition Plan, 1967 at Khartoum, 2000 at Camp David, 2001 at Taba, the 2008 Olmert Plan. The current Kerry-led negotiations also appear to be heading in that direction. Yet the Palestinian Arabs still adamantly reject the “two state solution” of an “Arab State” and “Jewish State” referenced in the 1947 UN partition resolution.

So it is instructive to ask, what do the Palestinian Arabs really want? If we would only listen to what they persistently say and read their charters, we would understand: the eradication of ‎Israel through armed struggle, replacing the Jewish state with a Palestinian Arab state. Just read the charters of the Palestinian Authority, PLO, Fatah, and Hamas, and it is laid out in straightforward unambiguous terms. It really is no wonder they say “no” to a state if it also means that they have to recognize the tiny Jewish state alongside it. There are already 22 Arab states with a population of 400 million and land mass 625 times that of Israel, versus 6.2 million Jews in a sliver of land the size of New Jersey.

We have seen a preview of what their state will be like: ‎Gaza, which has become a terrorist launching pad for tens of thousands of rockets and missiles into Israel since Israel left and uprooted 8,000 citizens from their homes in 2005. It is a failed entity ruled by the corrupt, genocidal, terrorist entity Hamas, which steadfastly refuses to recognize Israel. A Palestinian Arab state in the West Bank/Judea-Samaria, the cradle of Jewish civilization, on the high ground overlooking the heart of Israel’s population centers from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, will only pose a more lethal danger to the safety and security of Israel. And the Jewish claim does not rest just on security, but on a continuous three-millennia presence in the land.

The pathology of the Palestinian Arab movement, which is actually a part of the larger Arab war on Israel, is violent rejection. It is partly fueled by Islamic beliefs that any Jewish presence on the land is a crime against the Islamic “natural order of things,” the crime of a ‎dhimmi people, the Jews, having sovereignty in their midst.

Yet Westerners fantasize and delude themselves that the Palestinian Arabs actually want to live in peace alongside ‎Israel. This was recently epitomized by Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni, who told Knesset members that they should “expect to be surprised” regarding Palestinian Authority willingness to recognize Israel as a Jewish State.  But her fairy-tale beliefs defy reality, and the bubble was burst immediately when PA negotiator Saeb Erekat reiterated yet again that the Palestinian Arabs would never accept Israel as a Jewish State.

Sheikh Jabari, the strongman of ‎Hebron, put it concisely: “We can never recognize the Jewish state. I can’t. It goes against the Koran. Tel Aviv is Waqf [Muslim] holy land. I can’t recognize you de jure, but I also recognize that you’re not going anywhere. You’re here to stay.”

Western intervention only makes things worse, and leads the PA to believe that it can maintain a culture of victimhood and pay no price for its maximalist, uncompromising beliefs. Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Arab culture of incitement, terrorism, and resort to lawfare has only increased, in absolute violation of their commitments to teach and preach peace, dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, confiscate weapons, and arrest terrorists. The PA has not kept those international commitments; so what gives ‎Israel and Western diplomats confidence that any future accords – which will presumably involve Israel relinquishing vital land areas necessary for its security – will be honored? In Arab-Muslim culture, agreements tend to be broken when one side gains the strength to overcome the other, i.e. hudna. In the Middle East, the current status is what peace actually looks like: no paper agreements. At best, a détente, where only force and power prevail and are respected. That is what has enabled Israel to miraculously survive as an oasis of hope, democracy, and freedom in the midst of Arab-Muslim dominated totalitarian states, military dictatorships, and theocracies.‎

Israel ‎‎has no reliable “peace partner” in the Western sense, no matter how the mainstream media, EU, diplomats, and elites want to spin it. These apologists will always somehow find a way to rationalize and justify the Palestinian Arabs’ predictable resort to violence and in turn seek to delegitimize Israel for not making further concessions – regardless of whether it puts the Jewish State in deadly danger. The diplomatic process is not working. There must be far more onus on the PA to make true peace and prepare its own people for it. If and when Palestinian Arabs are ready, willing and able to say “yes,” Israel will be there – but not any sooner.]]></description>
