The State of Israel is doing, yesterday and today, precisely what the United States would be doing if it were faced with the very same unrelenting attack by its enemies.
There is absolutely no difference between the attack by Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda on Sept 11th, and the attacks on Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim, and every other terrorist group operating from areas that are 'controlled' by Arafat and the Palestinian Authority.
Right now, Israel is using its overwhelming military strength to do what its does best - the defense of its citizens.
Just as the US is doing with respect to the terrorist groups that it is fighting.
Israel's ongoing roundup, arrest, and detention of suspected terrorists in the captured city of Ramallah is no different than the United States' roundup of at least 1,000 Arabs and others of Middle Eastern descent in [u]this[/u] country, and certainly no different that the United States roundup, arrest and detention of suspected Taliban and Al Quaeda fighters in Afghanistan.
This is called 'war', ladies and gentlemen, and we should expect no less from the Israelis than we would from ourselves.
Once the Palestinian Authority is 'undone', I am certain that the IDF will turn its forces against the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups in Gaza, and do the whole thing over again.
God be with them. And US.
In [u]all[/u] of our righteous endeavors.
Israel should ignore any pressure from US to desist from doing what we would do under the same circumstances.
[u]If[/u] the UN called for the US to leave Afghanistan immediately, without completing our mission there, what would you want the US to do? Well, we shouldn't expect Israel to do what we ourselves would not do.
And they won't!
