no surrender....or appeasement of the hate-mongers

my message to israelis, as a brit is, do not surrender one inch until, as daniel pipes has said, the palestinians poll something like 70-80% when it comes to Accepting the permanent reality of israel's existence. there is no point in you even bothering to talk to them till that point arrives.

please also realise that it is only a hostile left-biased political press that is constantly berrating you, when you protect yourselves from harm, by targeting terrorists. there are masses of people behind you, but their voice isnt coming across.

many people realise that israel is the litmus test as to whether radical intolerant islam is a threat to their culture. we need to know that the israeli beacon of freedom and democracy is still burning brightly in the middle east.

of course there are going to be inocent people killed in the crossfire when israel is attacked or provoked by terrorist actions, but from all ive learned..israel tries to be as surgically precise as possible when it attacks, and puts its troups at greater risk in an effort to minimise inocent casualties.

shalom peace and adieu
