Israel's goal is to survive. All of their neighbors either are now or
have been in the recent past dedicated to Israel's destruction. Israel
is still around. So whatever they're doing is working and they should
keep doing it.

They're not doing anything worse than anyone else would do in their
situation. In fact, they've been showing great restraint compared to
what most would do in their situation.


Jeesh, Palestinian to Israeli mortality is running at 100 to 1, who's
the slow learner?
