Andrew Sullivan's Good Guess

I'm guessing those West Bank settlements - where he lives - are not going anywhere any time soon.


See, it isn't too difficult to be perceptive.

So I'm further guessing the violence is going to continue.

you didn't have to be a genius for that guess and today's axe killing is another Arab act that started even before there were even Jewish "settlements" anywhere, almost 130 years ago

Today's axe killing is a continuation of exchanges of violence between Jews and Arabs, "eye for an eye" as you call it.

And i wish both Sullivan and I are wrong with our guessing.

YMedad said...

"Exchange", eh?

"It started when he hit me back" is the Arab approach.

You have no shame!!!!!!!!!

Is your claim actually that Israel doesn't respond with violence to Palestinian violence regardless who was first and who second?

Or you just stuck and unable to move on from an excuse that "violent animals" Palestinians were "first" to use violence against "poor innocent" Jews and so whatever jews do next and until now is irrelevant?

You just killed over 1400 Palestinians. You are right you can't even call it an exchange. 100 to 1. It looks more like a massacre.

And why don't you comment on slogan of your new "peaceful" governmenet of "peaceful" Israeli nation: "If you want peace, prepare for war."

btw, that quote from Lieberman is Roman from "Epitoma Rei Militaris," by Vegetius: "Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."

And? Is Israel planning another attack on Gaza? Or is it going to be Lebanon again?

YMedad said...

Galia, think Iran.

"At the handover ceremony at the Foreign Ministry Thursday afternoon, Lieberman sounded an aggressive foreign policy stance, emphasizing that the new government is not bound by the Annapolis process, under which former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former foreign minister Tzipi "Livni conducted negotiations with the Palestinian Authority on the core issues of a final-status arrangement.

"Whoever thinks that he will achieve something by way of concessions - no, he will only invite more pressure and more wars," Lieberman said. "If you want peace, prepare for war"

Judging by the context, he adressed the issue of settlement with Palestine with this words, or am i wrong?

YMedad said...

while valid for either Iran or the Pals., one never really knows what Lieberman is thinking.

With this kind of attitude Israel is gambling her future and that of her neighbors.
