I think that the vision of a "greater Israel" is the natural response to the Palestinian vision of a "Greater Palestine". There is an old biblical dictum "Haba lehorgecha, haskem lehorgo", if someone declares he'll kill you, preempt him. Do you think that Israel's preemptive strike against the nuclear facilities of Iraq in 1981 was justifiable? Is that not exactly what we are seeking to do today at a much higher cost of civilian lives. There were no civilian casualties in the Israeli strike, a pure clean surgical preemptive operation, of course, condemned by the "enlightened world" in public, but lauded in private. That is what I call hypocrisy, and that is why the "opinion" of the rest of the world, while important, to the Israeli, is far from a paramount consideration. Their point of view is quite Shakespearian "Pox on both your houses" (g).
