The west doesnt have the stomach to fight necessary wars with the exception of the US and Israel. Because of Bush incompetence, the US soon may enter the Euro mindset of peace at any price. Israelis have no choice but to keep on defending themselves. I guess Ted that if folks were lobbing rockets at your house, you would meet them with prayer or just move back to the place where your ancestors came from. Ooops Jews have already been there, done that. The poll numbers you post are very striking. Israel's situation may ultimatley be hopeless. Who knows. But make no mistake, the Israelis will not die as lambs as Jews once did. If they go down they go down as lions. Since this attack on Gaza has brought out all the western pacifists and anti-semitic snakes already, i would maintain that Israel has nothing to lose anymore. To achieve their objective they need to take out Hamas and return power to Fatah in Gaza. I am not an expert on the military situation on the ground buy i expect Hamas will not be able to put up the fight hizbollah did. Perhaps the israelis are prodding hizbolla here either to get them to launch rockets or look like a paper tiger on the sidelines.. Maybe Israel is seeking this two front war. Maybe they have learned from 06. Dont know. Perhaps since 300 deaths causes the west to go into a tizzy, israel has learned that the numbers of casualties dont matter. Maybe they seek to take care of this problem once and for all. I am not sure they can succeed at this without the help of moderate arab sunni states. Maybe egypt takes over gaza post hamas? Maybe syria gets golan back and stabs iran in the back. Maybe this is a pretext for an attack on iran nukes by israel and US??/ Just some thoughts here. I am not calling for any of it. Just brainstorming. PS India and Pakistan could be fighting in a week. That should divert some attention away from mideast. I sense something larger is happening here.
