Israel tricked the Syrians. Fine. The purpose was to control the Golan
Heights so as to provide a safe buffer between her and Syria. It was a
completely *defensive* strategy. Has Israel used this strategic advantage
against Syria in an offensive way? Would Syria have continued to use this land
against Israel offensively had it been allowed to retain it?
But your little story only talks about Syria. What about Egypt and Jordan?
Explain why Israel would *want* to be attacked from all borders.

Which they have returned, BTW (Sinai).

Sure, to try and get their land back *and then some* (destroy Israel).
Interestingly, Sadat failed in that attack at great military cost, and yet he
was able to get all of Sinai back to Egypt at Camp David without a single shot
being fired (except, I guess, for the ones that assassinated him)

You stated that you believe they have the right to fight back. I'm wondering
whether you think that that right specifically includes the use of terrorism.
A simple yes or no.
Assuming you say "no", then why are you sympathizing with them? If the world
would *condemn* them and their use of terror, then they would be motivated to
change their tactics. But just the opposite is occuring. People *sympathize*
with their plight and even *admire* the extent to which they will go to "obtain
their freedom" (suicide), never once considering the ramifications (innocent
women and children murdered in such attacks). It's absolute insanity. Or it's
veiled anti-semitism. Either way, it's wrong.
And please don't bring up alleged terrorist violations of the US or Israel
anymore because all of that is irrelevant (unless you are trying to argue
somehow that 2 wrongs make a right).
