Note To A Friend
I have a friend who staunchly insists that Isreal has to "account" for its actions towards the Palestinians. In withdrawing from Gaza, Israel has done something with which he agrees, for the first time in a long time. So how do the Palestinians thank Israel for this move? (HT: Captains's Quarters)
So as you ponder the issue, remember this -- at least one side in this conflict is playing an all or nothing game. The last time the world found itself in such a setting it was us and the Japanese and we ended it by convincing them we really could utterly destroy them. Can you think of another solution with these circumstances?
Twenty-one people were wounded Sunday, two seriously, in a suicide bombing at a central bus station in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba, Israeli officials said.Now, is it clear? the Palestinians do not want land -- they want the destruction of Israel, nothing less will do in their minds. And apparently many of them would rather die than see it's continued existence.
