31. 29: Rather, redmike seems confused
David ,   Rehovot   (09.28.08)
It's pretty clear that radical settlers set the pipe bomb. It may surprise you to know, but the settlers tend to live, by definition, outside the GL. While Dichter needs to be searching within the GL, it's the IDF, under Barak's direction, that must crack down on the settlers where they live. It's long past time for the rightists who endanger Israel to be treated as harshly as leftists who are regularly hosed, beaten, shot at and arrested. Only when people on both sides who endanger the State are treated equally will we maintain democracy.
32. #31, so one professor gets very lightly wounded

and we need to turn the West bank upside down but when IDF soldiers are regularly wounded and abused by "left-wing activists" they shouldn't lift a finger? Again, whilst condemning the attack on someone's right to voice his views, the IDF has far, far, far, far, far, far higher priorities.
33. 32: Reading comprehension problems, Danny?
David ,   Rehovot   (10.09.08)
What about "It's long past time for the rightists who endanger Israel to be treated as harshly as leftists..." seems to confuse you? Did I say the left shouldn't be treated harshly? No. Did I say that people who endanger the State, whether from the Left or Right, be treated equally? Yes. "the IDF has far, far, far, far, far, far higher priorities." No, it doesn't. A terrorist is a terrorist, regardless of which extremist wing he comes from. They all endanger Israel and must all be dealt with.
