world becomes used to seeing Israel not react decisively to increasing levels of terrorism.

A real problem. How much is enough? That which will stop it,of course. And that seems, from past experience, to require occupation, and a wall. So that is where we are going.

>>"This point may never be reached, however, precisely because the world becomes used to seeing Israel not react decisively to increasing levels of terrorism. Along the way, we are not only defining terrorism down for ourselves, but for the whole world."<<

This stuff real boils my blood....hit them with missiles, kill the kids, assassinate anyone they want to, destroy their homes, destroy their infrastructure with their tanks, keep them in concentration camps and occupy their lands with crazy fundamentalists...that is what the world is seeing of the Israeli state. This is the new holocaust pushing the Holocaust from the world's memory.

OK Israel, become decisive! Nuke them.....oops, what about the settlers......oh, forget them, they are expendable, just collateral damage.

Terrorism is different - its whole purpose is to shock an entire public, or the world. Terrorists must by definition try to top themselves in order to overcome the "defining down" of what is considered a major, newsworthy attack.

Bingo!!
