Israel can never win ...

If these brainwased haters of life don't know the difference between confronting issues in a civilized fashion, instead of resorting to violence, it really makes no difference what we do.

They cannot rationalize why extremists would kill for no other reason than because their beliefs compel them to do so.

In their mind, terrorists kill because they want something or because we did something that makes them kill. If we only gave them something or stopped doing whatever it is that they don't like, they would be happy and stop killing.

The truth is ... whether Islamic or not ...terrorists would kill millions if they simply had the means to do so. Negotiating or appeasing those whose position is non-negotiable and are willing to die for their cause is no different than trying to negotiate with a hungry lion who has you cornered in the jungle. While you try talking to it it lunges for your throat.
