Thanks, again, for this Naut - and for mentioning my post. Yes, the world seems to see terrorists and those fighting terror as one and the same, at least when it comes to Israel. As an Israeli friend of mine said when asked why this is, he answered, "One word; anti-semitism." Mal

Nautikos, Yes, it seems that there is always a "nurturing community" ---silent, in denial, behind the scenes, invisible but always there. Thank you for continuing to write about this.

It is worth remembering that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in the summer of 2005, forcing Israelis living there to leave their homes in order to end a 38-year occupation. Their reward for this selfless act was to watch Gaza become a staging ground for attacks.
If, say, the Canadian province of Quebec was shelling nearby cities in the United States, how long do you think it would take the U.S. to retaliate? When Osama bin Laden’s terrorists perpetrated 9/11, America sent troops halfway around the world to attack the Taliban with which al Qaeda was allied. Yet Israel is not supposed to respond to daily provocations, property damage and the deaths of its people?

Funny but many libs will exhonerate the Arabs because they see them as the underdog. No matter what crimes they commit.
