ISRAEL VS. PALESTINE...AGAIN

[rothschild]

If you ask that kind of question you're an "antisemite"

I see that everyday! People who share my opinion are allowed to have our opinions, we are entitled to them! Just because we don't support Israel's indiscriminate bombing we are labeled antisemite. I'm nobody so I rarely care what strangers think, but there are those who do care a great deal and they are being bullied into keeping their opinion/s to themselves.

Israel has spent a great many billions of dollars through the decades convincing people around the world that it's a victim. What Israel achieved is being undone by it's own actions. It is being hoist by it's own petard, as the saying goes, and all because it believed itself to be invulnerable. If Israel had exercised restraint it would have achieved a great political victory and Hamas would have suffered a crushing defeat.

I think it's fair to say at this point that Hamas understands Israel better than Israel does. It recognized the situation for what it is and undertook an extremely risky gambit, in large part because it had very little to lose; Israel, on the other hand, had everything to lose.

The most dangerous opponent is the one that has nothing to lose. Israel understood that at one point in time. It became drunk on it's own power and forgot. It's still dangerous but the fear that people once had for it has been replaced by revulsion.

Once a bully has been stood up to it's days are numbered.
