A "bargaining chip"
Reader comment on item: Muslim Zionism
in response to reader comment: Enlighten us
Submitted by Kenneth S. Besig (Israel), Jun 11, 2006 at 02:22
A bargaining chip is by definition just that, something to be bargained with. When a nation or a military force gives up a "bargaining chip" for nothing in return, that is not a bargain, that is surrender. Victorious nations and military forces don't surrender, only defeated ones do. Israeli voters put into power a leader and a party which has incessantly preached retreat, and while Israel hasn't really been defeated, enough of our Jewish Israeli voters feel we have lost and voted accordingly.
