>Instead, the Arabs just figured that Israel was weak and demoralized and their hopes of destroying Israel rose. Come on, hopes for destroying Israel rose...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Israel is the strongest country in the region and is here to stay...only lunatics like Osama and his followers believe this crap. >This is why we have seen a massive PR campaign to deligitimize Israel as a state, which culminated in Israel-is-the-only-racist-state hate festival we saw in Durban. Pardon me, but it doesn't take much not to conclude that how Israel treats the Palestinians is not racist or brutal! And, there we were again, standing up next to our ally thumbing our noses at the whole world AGAIN! Re: Peace >Whose cost? At our politicians war chests (I always hated that expression, a WAR chest!) from the Jewish lobby primarily. And the cost of greatly diminished (and very likely eliminated) suicide bombings and endless suffering of civilians in the area, assuming it is a just peace that lets the Palestinians live with dignity...
