To argue that Israel was more peaceful then, and is more insecure now, is somewhat limiting if it is the whole of your argument. One can also point out with absolute truth that Britain was quite peaceful in the 30s under Chamberlain, and became far less secure from 1940 on under Churchill. Again, a military threat from an hostile state. We were discussing terrorism, and the clear truth that by any objective standard, Israel’s attempts to protect its citizens from terrorism have been ineffective. There is little point in looking in that direction with the intention of learning how to fight terrorism, unless the goal is a permanent cycle of atrocity and reprisal.
