I didn't count "seven major factors", but never mind. Global jihad is being encouraged by the cowardice of the appeasers in the West. There will never be a concerted response of the democratic world to global jihad until other countries suffer what Israel has suffered. Only then might they stop regarding terrorism against "us" as bad but terrorism against Israel as OK.

WITHOUT a chamberlain like peretz at the helm!

With Irans' RG going to the Syrian border soon, we will be attacked even more. Any attempt to do anything but build up arms and military superiorty, and pursue increasing training for the IDF, would be like the fool playing with the gun, and shooting themselves. Harder times are in the future, let's hope that the leftist liberals realize this. We need their help, the whole countries help to defeat the enemy in the coming years.

The fact that Israel rewards the jihadist and retreats befiore them should be at the top of his list. Aweak Israel which fails to enforce any red lines and always capitulates under pressure only emboldens the enemy. An Israel subservient to US pressure and failed policy is an Israel headed for the abyss.
