Withdrawal from Lebanon brought a war last year; withdrawal from Gaza lead to terror in Sderot and all of western Negev. So, people who support such ideas as concessions to the Arabs should really move to Sderot and other communities in the south and experience what other Israelis go through. Perhaps then people open their eyes and see what is going on (I said perhaps and I expect no miracles). You might be able to go for a coffee in Jerusalem but can the people of Sderot do the same? Jews must accept that we have to be able to stand on our own two feet and not expect from anyone any help. Presently Israel has a mighty ally, but alliances can always become obsolete. Concessions to the Arabs, no matter what the Western World believes and how it views such gestures, are perceived as a great sign of weakness by the Arabs and since Jews have to live side by side with them, just listen to what your neighbours say not what others want you to hear. Nations stood by when Jews where killed by the millions and I'm certain they'll do the same if/when it happens again. No concession will ever make the Arabs happy apart the total annihilation of Israel and they are fully committed to this purpose. No matter how many Israeli and Jewish organisation protest about summer camps of terror, daily rockets, multiple attempts for terrorist attacks nobody cares. When two parties negotiate, it’s a give-and-take situation. Israel gives and the Arabs take-that's surrender, not negotiations.<BR/>Chanukah Sameach<BR/>Shalom, your Greek friendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-51779324360872869282007-11-26T06:06:00.000+02:002007-11-26T06:06:00.000+02:00Great post!
