Is Netanyahu an Edvard Benes or a Winston Churchill

Placating the enemy is a way of appearing to be wise but the plain picture always reveals itself at the end of the matter and the placating powers that be often times end up shame faced, slinking away into sad oblivion. Israel believes Iran and other enemies when they say they hate Israel and want them pushed off the face of the earth. They prepare.

Not so much America. How could anyone hate a "humble" country that is as great as the USA? Nah all is hunkydory. Just listen to me and all will be well..

I think we all are in for a very Bumpy ride. Placate all you want. The conclusion is written on the wind and we do not know which way it blows. Rest assured it will blow with force and a wide sweep of devastaion for a time and a season. Deals broken, treaties disregarded, and peace promises ground to dust. I think we are looking at a little more than a 3rd intifada. There is an evil when unleashed is so devastating and horriable no human can believe it even when it is up close and personal. This time things are much different. Russia has always been an ally in world wars. The twist coming makes for new actors and a rougher enemy than we have ever faced.

Placate all you will saying peace peace when there is no peace. I do hope Netanyahu is in the line of Winston Churchill!

"You ask: What is our aim? I can answer in one word. VICTORY, victory at all cost, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survial!" Winston Churchill.

Rather than remembering Shoah 75 years ago,(which is a word to the wise) I had rather remember November 11 1918 ww1 surrender and May the 8th 1945 ww2 with Japan surrender thrown in for good measure, ww2, Then there is the deep rooted OLIVE TREE. It sprouts again no matter how close you cut it down. No placaiting there. Men make their plans but G-d.....
