Want Peace? Support Israel.
Reader comment on item: A Rapid and Harsh Turn against Israel
Submitted by Tom Dundee (United States), Jun 3, 2009 at 22:27
Lack of support for Israel will embolden the Islamites and bring about a massive war. Israel may lose, but there won't be many Moslems around to celebrate because Israel will go down fighting.
In my opinion, when the war is over Israel will rebuild Mecca & Medina, build some resorts and have a great place to vacation.
