ISRAEL IS SUCH A NICE AND DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, AND IT WILL RECIPRICATE ONLY WHEN ATTACKED. WE MUST ACCEPT AS FACT THAT THE TERROR GROUPS ARE PRACTICING AND TRAINING TO ATTACK ISRAEL OR ISRAEL INTERESTS AND THEY HAVE ALL THE FREE TIME TO DO SO. WE KNOW THAT THE ARABS HAVE PLENTY OF TIME AND THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL CHOOSE WHEN TO ATTACK ISRAEL, AND WHERE AND HOW ETC. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT THEY ARE GETTING READY IN THE SOUTH, IN THE NORTH AND IN THE " WEST BANK ". THEIR WEAPONS WILL BECOME MORE SOPHISTICATED THAT ALL OF ISRAEL WILL BE A POTENTIAL TARGET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. USING DEFENSIVE MEASURES AT SOME POINT IS USEFUL, BUT PURELY DEFENSIVE MEASURES MEANS THAT IT KEEPS ON GIVING THE ENEMY MORE AND MORE TRIES AND ATTEMPTS TO REPEAT THE ATTACKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND ARE GIVEN SO MANY CHANCES, THEY MAY AT SOME POINT BE ABLE TO INFLICT HARM ON ISRAEL. DEFENSIVE MEASURES IF SUCCESSFUL, IN MY OPINION BRINGS YOU BACK TO WHERE THE FIGHTING STARTED.............AND UNCLEAR WINNERS AND LOSERS. THE BUYING OR BIDING OF TIME BY ISRAEL, JUST WAITING FOR SOME ATTACK AND THEN TO MERELY TO RESPOND TO IT AND FEND IT OFF ETC..........THIS IS BADLY THOUGHT OUT DOCTRINE. IT IS NOT A FIGHTING TO WIN DOCTRINE. IT IS AN APPEASEMENT DOCTRINE AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ISRAEL. HOW MANY CHANCES WILL ISRAEL GIVE TO THE ARABS TO KEEP ATTACKING ? I HAVE SAID THAT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS, BUT YOU CAN'T KEEP ON GIVING THE MILITARY ADAVANTAGE BACK TO THE PEOPLE YOU KEEP ON BEATING AND BASICALLY SAYING....................TRY IT AGAIN ! BECAUSE THEY WILL ! ... AND THEY ALREADY HAVE DONE MANY TIMES. THE ARABS ARE INTENT ON ATTACKING ISRAEL THROUGH WHATEVER MEANS THEY CAN. GIVING THEM MORE FREE TIME TO BUILD UP AND PREPARE FOR THE EVENTUAL AND INEVITABLE NEXT ROUND OF FIGHTING IS NOT A WINNING POLICY. IT IS A SIT AND WAIT POLICY. IT'S BASICALLY ONLY HOLDING YOUR OWN GROUND, AND UNTILL ONE DAY MAY COME WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO DO SO. LEADERS OF ISRAEL SHOULD DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT ISRAEL DESPITE THE DEMANDS AND RESTRAINTS OTHERS MAY DEMAND OF ISRAEL. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF ISRAEL, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
