Gus > "It was supreme tragedy," writes Arnold Toynbee, "that the lesson learnt by them [the Jews] from their encounter with the Nazi German Gentiles should have been, not to eschew but to imitate some of the evil deeds that the Nazis had committed against the Jews." You posted this elsewhere but it puts the historic situation in a nutshell. And, of course, today, the situation is no better, in fact worse, as no political accommodation with the Palestinians has been achieved whatsoever but the demographic threat to Jewish exclusivity in Israel is already great and is growing all the time. It's clear, to me at any rate, that Israel is damned if it "does" and damned if it "doesn't". Israel's "misadventure" with Hezbollah shows that it cannot continue forever waging wars against its numerous enemies but it dare not make peace for fear of being overrun in any democratic dispensation with the Palestinians. Talk abut painting oneself into a corner!
