Following the 9/11 attacks, I was sickened to see TV news footage of Palestinians celebrating in the streets the deaths of almost 3000 innocent people. Therefore, I find it impossible to share the sense of outrage that many people are displaying at Israel's actions.
Let’s get real here. How long could you last if your neighbor was throwing hand grenades and firing rocks at you incessantly? No other country in the world would have allowed its citizens to have been fired on indiscriminately for the past eight years. Israel does not deliberately target civilians unlike Hamas, a terrorist group. The sooner Hamas stops launching rockets into Israel the sooner things will improve.
Israel is a tiny country surrounded by enemies that is fighting for its very existence. This war is being fought in order to eradicate terrorists who are trying to destroy her. Israel has been attacked in two other unprovoked wars – The Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War.
If Israel can remove Hamas it will create the first opportunity for peace since the British lead “Partition” in 1947. Let’s not forget that in 1948 the Arabs refused the two state solution and attacked Israel. If they had accepted the two state solution the “Palestine” they would have gotten would have been much bigger then the one they received in 1967, which in turn is much bigger than what they may have to settle for now or in another 10 years.
The so called “Palestinians” should recognize the war with Israel is over and that they have lost. They should surrender and negotiate a secure future for their children. They should realize that even though other Arabs claim to stand by them the other Arabs have moved on. Three generations have been wasted in fighting for “Palestine”.
