"<BR/><BR/>You've got a point there, I'm sure, but I doubt this assertion is strictly true in every sense it could be reasonably parsed. Even an Israeli soldier is liable to go berserk or simply exhibit poor judgment under duress. Even an Israeli commander is liable to deliberately place innocent civilians at risk for the sake of a goal, the relative weights of which reasonable people might disagree. i.e. You don't have to deny imperfections or instances of corruption to argue why one institution is a lot better than another.MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341704109256270557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-51062419111396922142008-03-02T19:12:00.000-06:002008-03-02T19:12:00.000-06:00Shicago?!

Since when was war ever "fair and square"????<BR/><BR/>It really is just about aggression--terrorist aggression. Israel is not, and never has been, the aggressor. If the Arab/Muslim nations/terrorists ceased fighting, Israel would put away their weapons and live in peace. If Israel stopped fighting, we would be annihilated. THAT is the difference. The world consistently fails to recognize,let alone support and defend, Israel's right to self-defense. What is even scarier (to me) is that in their hurry to blame Israel for the world's woes, the world seems to conveniently ignore the fact that terrorists really don't care who they target. If not Israel, than another nation... history does repeat itself...<BR/><BR/>When the Nazis (terrorists) came for the communists,<BR/>I remained silent;<BR/>I was not a communist.<BR/><BR/>When they locked up the social democrats,<BR/>I remained silent;<BR/>I was not a social democrat.<BR/><BR/>When they came for the trade unionists,<BR/>I did not speak out;<BR/>I was not a trade unionist.<BR/><BR/>When they came for the Jews,<BR/>I remained silent;<BR/>I wasn't a Jew.<BR/><BR/>When they came for me,<BR/>there was no one left to speak out.<BR/><BR/>Safe travels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-85972763313420993322008-02-27T16:13:00.000-06:002008-02-27T16:13:00.000-06:00Look, I'm not calling anyone a monster or anything...Look, I'm not calling anyone a monster or anything like that. People are good. But it does seem that this situation is out of control. <BR/><BR/>So many Arab lands. So many Muslim states. <BR/><BR/>One tiny Jewish country, smaller than the state of Rhode Island, and shrinking all the time. <BR/><BR/>And the Jews don't get to keep it, although they won it in wartime, fair and square. Slice it up and share it with people who want ALL of it, who say they won't be content without all of it.<BR/><BR/>No, not everyone says it, but enough do to make that a meaningful statement.<BR/><BR/>And the neighboring Arab countries will not absorb the Palestinians, will not feed them, put them to work. It's not like in America (used to be), Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, anywhere else in the world. But it should be. <BR/><BR/>If I were not a religious person, I would think Israel has something to worry about.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-7633323862691107012008-02-27T15:30:00.000-06:002008-02-27T15:30:00.000-06:00Dear Doc, sometimes functioning (read productive...Dear Doc,<BR/> sometimes functioning (read productive) societies are overrun by barbarians. History records these events. Sometimes the functioning society has scruples-has some moral restraints---doesn't want to fight the barbarians.....And sometimes we over-think.....Survival is survival and Israel is compelled to fight for her survival. Complicated--yes. Necessary yes. And sometimes might is right (Abraham Lincoln) Abraham had scruples too...he wanted his fight to be correct in the eyes of the old mighty. History proved him correct.bjurstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075698121876121820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-4774046657009392972008-02-27T15:28:00.000-06:002008-02-27T15:28:00.000-06:00First of all, I'm new here and I did not have any ...First of all, I'm new here and I did not have any idea that you are located there! :) That explain that one post we compared security in schools with that of Israel's. <BR/><BR/>Next, I really understand what you're trying to say here...and that is what I always tell to people here in my country with regards to dealing with terrorists here to. We can never win against those people because why we worry about civillians...morality and safet of majority, those people don't even care for their kind (read: fellow terrorists!) and they hid amidst civillian, women and worst children. IMO, the main root has to be cut or their branch keeps extending creating havocs, not only in your place but anywhere in the world.Sai Hijara - Ferrarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520502217532479038noreply@blogger.com
