Reply #14: In-depth reading... [View All]

These were not isolated terrorist attacks but all-out coordinated WARS by well-armed nations of vastly greater size and population than Israel. The Yom Kippur war particularly devastating for Israel and her very survival was, as in the War of Independence, in the balance.

Unfortunately this is not my imagination.


No, unfortunately it's the sort of creative reworking of history that online 'pro-Israel' websites try to pass off as fact. I'm not all that well-versed on the art of warfare, but it seems a bit strange to me that the geographical size and population of a country would mean anything at all when it comes to military power...

Could you point me in the direction of this in-depth further reading I have to read in order to comprehend that MANY Arabs hate Jews? I'd really enjoy reading that stuff...

As for murals of suicide bombers, how is that any different than those Israelis who put murderers like Baruch Goldstein on a pedestal? Or Israelis who voted for a murdering war criminal to be their PM?

One of the great hopes for peace is that, with the passing of Yasser Arafat, Israel can at last deal with a representative of the Palestinian people who is willing to live with the Jewish state.

So, will we have to wait for the passing of Sharon so the Palestinians can at last maybe deal with a representative of the Israeli people who is willing to live with a Palestinian state? Because anyone who thinks that Sharon is willing to deal in good faith with anyone who has a goal of ending the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and the creation of a Palestinian state is just a bit on the gullible side, imo...
