I had enough, I am going to be political incorrect and say what I think even though I have tried to keep my opinion separated from this blog.
We went out of Lebanon a few years ago. A one sided action on our behalf to give peace on our norther border a chance. We then disengaged from Gaza (something I myself strongly objected), threw hundreds of families out from their homes that hade built their life there and turned the sand into an agricultural haven. Again, a once sided move.
The Sharon led government, argued that we had to make this painful concession since it would lead to peace. I never believed it for a second, but many wanted to.
As a sign of weakness on Israels side, Hamas gains significant popularity, wins the elections forming a terrorist government.
Since we left Gaza, there has almost not passed a day without us being attached by Kassam rockets from within Gaza. The situation got worse. Hamas brought even more poverty and corruption upon their own people. The people they claimed to fight for.
18 days ago they crossed the Gaza border into Israel, attached a tank, killed 2 soldier and kidnapped Gilad Shalit. The day after another group kidnaps and executed a young civilian.
Then yesterday, Hizballah crosses the Israeli border (see why we needed a security zone?) attacks two patrol viecles, kills 8 soldiers and kidnaps two. When Israel responds to the aggression - the Iran and Syria supported Hizballah terrorists, starts attacking all the north of Israel including Haifa. And the world wants us to show constraints? Let's see what you would do if it happened to your country.
This is the psychology of the Middle East - give them a hand and they'll take an arm. We are being punished for showing more than goodwill, for making concessions for giving up land. And what do we receive in return - terror and war.
No more soft talk, no more concessions - the time has come to defend our existence (again) - we have no other choice - we simply have no other place to go.
This will be my only post on the subject.
