Your views, as you probably know and don't care, are extreme and out of touch with reality. I recognize, and oppose those who are religious zealots in the government of Israel. However, I also recognize that it is no where near the level of cynical fundamentalism as is in the driven world of the terrorist Palestinian organizations. They are the ones who use their religious beliefs, e.g. the promised virgins, the martyrdom, the call for "jihad" to accomplish what should be secular goals. When you post that the Bush administration is controlled by Israel, and you would be saying the same thing if a Democrat were in power, perhaps it is because they recognize the moral equivalency with the US in the way Israel operates as compared to the tyrannical regimes of the Arab countries, that encourage terrorism to keep these regimes in power. That's all beside the point I'd like to explore. You, and others like you who constantly post against Israel, seem to do nothing but point a finger of blame. Do you have a solution other than the destruction of Israel? Have you ever posted a criticism of the Palestinians or Muslim terrorists? Do you approve of 9/11? Do you approve of suicide bombers tactics? What would it take to get Arafat to negotiate in a reasonable fashion? He can't even limit his powers enough to let his own hand picked PM go forward? Israel feels it has nobody with whom it can negotiate and is involved in a fight for its survival. It's easy to sit in Belgium and be critical but what would you do if you lived under the threat of terror on a daily basis?
