And this is the point the Palestinians need to understand. So long as
they threaten Israel, Israel can do nothing less than take steps to
assure the safety of its people. Unfortunately, sometimes the only way
to make sure you are safe from your neighbor is to attack them. I am
convinced that Israel is over reacting. I am also convinced that the
world has taught the Jewish people that NO ONE can be trusted to uphold
your rights other than yourself (which ultimately is true, and is THE
reason for the 2nd amendment to the US constitution). Now it happens to
be true right now that the US for the most part is for Israel (which I
think is probably a good thing, I'd really prefer not to see nuclear war
start, and my personal feeling is that Israel is quite capable of
launching a nuclear attack if they get backed into a corner).
