do the israelis deserve this fate for failure to annihilate the palestinians? May I give you my MHO. Do you really know the meaning of your words, "annihilate the Palestinians?" I bet you don't. It would be a next to impossible task and the Israelis (Jews to be exact) damn well know it:- i) the Israelis are afraid to annihilate the Palestinians because they don't want to contend with world opinion and condemnation. What they have been doing is a tit-for-tat thing or so the Israelis keep on saying is the case; ii) there are far fewer Israelis than all Arabs combined, let alone the Palestinians themselves in Palestine and, in the game of killing by attrition, Jews will be depleted much faster than Arabs. Mind you, Palestinians are not the only Arabs. iii) in spite of their possession of tactical nukes, the Israelis are afraid to use them because they and the Palestinians are living so near to one another. (Nuke stuff is not "clean" stuff and it is better to use it on the enemy farther afield, if need be.) ---------------- do israelis have an excuse because the anti-semitic u n, muslims and europeans have pressured iraelis not to defend themselves? There are lots of folks who will say the Israelis don't need any excuses at all! Also many believe that Right is Might. The Israelis have had excuses galore! Even if an excuse does not exist, they can easily "contrive" getting one in a jiffy. I suppose you meant getting an excuse to attack the Palestinians. I think it is vital for folks like you to ask why the UN is acting the way it does towards Israel and to figure out ways by which its unfavourable attitude towards Israel could be removed. You should also consider why Israel's efforts to spruce up its image abroad have failed. Why are so many folks disinclined to trust Israel? Can so many non-Israelis worldwide be wrong? If so, why are they wrong? What can be done to turn them around and see the light? <g> Think what can be done about it! It is far better to put on your thinking caps to figure out solutions and to act on them than to habitually flip your lids! <g> and join the rah-rah chorus of condemning the Moslems and reiterating how crazy and dangerous they are! Remember! ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! TALK IS CHEAP! ----------------

hdl. You asked...." do the israelis deserve this fate for failure to annihilate the palestinians?"...... The Israelis restraint is amazing and I guess for them world opinion is very important. Do they deserve what is happening to them ? No. No people deserve that sort of thing and if the arab/palestinians could somehow get rid of the thugs and murderers that rule them they also may have a chance at peace. Much easier said than done though.... what is to become of all the arab kids that have been taught from birth by the mullahs to hate Jews and that their sole purpose in life is to murder Jews or infidels. How can they stop hating? How could parents let this kind of thing happen to their kids? What a mess.
