32. Arabs Are Free To Do As They Wish - Only In Israel
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (04.08.07)
The ONLY racism in Israel is against Jewish nationalists. If anyone takes the time and studies this subject they can only come to this vile conclusion. Muslims are a protected minority. They build illegally ! ALL OVER Israel. They are not harassed nor threatened about it. They stage violent protests, not demonstrations with singing and dancing, yet are left unimpeded. They spew intifada venom from the mosques and at EVERY Arab Muslim event, yet no one stops them. Salah is out and about screaming for jihad. Yet no one molests him. Ain't life grand when one is a hostile fifth column in Israel? The Orwellian worldwide left and Arab hoardes dare to call Israel racist against Arabs!
33. If this was 1948
zionist forever   (04.09.07)
There would be no State of Israel not because of anything the arabs would have done anything different but what the jews would not do..... FIGHT. The oslo fantasy and the dominate left have killed the fighting spirit that Israel once had. If this was 1948 there would be no will to fight for a state instead the attitude would be better to accept the arabs dont want so lets work out some kind of compromise we dont get a state but maaybe the arabs wont send us back to Germany but we will be ruled by arabs. If this was 1976 there would be no Entebbe rescue the would be no courage to send men half way around the world to rescue the hostages the politicans wouldnt have the courage to take a risk like that better to accept the terrorist demands. The decision to go and bomb Saddam Hussains neuclear reactor wouldnt have been taken today because nobody wants to take a risk flying all the way to Iraq and back instead the politicians would be saying we cant do anything to stop him getting nukes so lets just hope that when he gets them he wont use them against us. The left have turned slavery into the prefered lifestyle especialy under Olmert. The slave doesnt take risks he does as he is told just to enjoy the easy life and our masters wont punish him Olmert is doing as he is told the arabs want terrorists with blood on their hands and Bargouti so thats what Olmert will give his palestian masters. As much as I feel sorry for Gilad Shalit and his family and wand him back alive this isnt the way all it will do is make everybody in Israel the next terrorists target. If the arabs know they can get so much and all they need to do is kidnap a single man then next time they want something they will kidnap somebody else who it is doesnt matter they know that whoever they take Israel will be willing to pay a very high price to get them back. Other options must be considered and if Olmert inisists on prisoner exchanges then he should say no killers and no Bargouti and stand his ground if the terrorists didnt think they could get away with things like this they wouldnt do. Taking the easy way out today and letting somebody else worry about the consequesnes has taken over Israeli politcs and its irrisponsible.
34. Look who's making demands!
TA, IL   (04.09.07)
Gaza is smaller than a pacific island, completely dependent on Israel for electricity, water, sewage treatment and many other services, with little more than infantry, short-range rockets and anti-tank forces on its side. Amazingly, the groups based in Gaza make such great demands, refusing to put anything but a single captured soldier on the bargaining table. Do they have a strong military ready to crush us? Do they have the rocket capabilities to make the average Israeli scared? Can we not avenge the casualties they have caused us sevenfold? We can, but we don't. Like a dog bound by chains, we are forced to stop short when we are taunted. This is what has become of the Western world. Dozens of dogs bound by chains. The tactics used by Palestinian terrorists, and terrorists around the world, rely on this fact. They act as they please, thriving on a culture of death and martyrdom, exploiting the modern world's culture of life and the laws created to preserve it, to reach their goals. The very people who practice the art of waging war against civilians, by disguising as civilians or using civilian homes for military purposes, are the first to shout out in protest over the loss of the innocent lives behind which they wage their war. The Palestinians stride into the headlines as victors because they can eat the cake and have it too. They can use their civilians as weapons of war while receiving the world's sympathy for their death and suffering as innocents. Caving in to their demands wouldn't empower any moderates. The moderates sat around and talked while the extremists waged war and delivered the goods. Caving in to their demands would make the situation even more absurd. Not only can they receive pity for the civilians they use as military hardware, but they can also retake their captured warriors and generals, be they prisoners of war or convicted murderers. Instead of caving in, we must show them that they are in no position to use violence and expect results. Everyone has a breaking point, and it includes every last one of the small organizations that capture soldiers, launch rockets and send suicide bombers. Instead of dragging the conflict over decades, it should be ended in a matter of months, or years. by forcing the fanatics to surrender.
35. Government refuses to make it uncomfortable for terrorist
Reuven ,   Tel Aviv   (04.10.07)
prisoners. Barghouti and others like him can give interviews, and run their terror orgainizations while in Israeli prisons. Israeli gov has no imagination. Giving back terrorists in exchanges has proven to cause the death of more Israelis yet they still do it. Why? Why can't they make it unrewarding to kidnap our soldiers. Why don't our leaders and our people have the stomach to fight and win. Ultimately, less will die, not more. These policies just continue the cycle of death.
