Reader comment on item: May an American Comment on Israel?

Submitted by Larry B. (United States), Jul 29, 2008 at 23:11

On a different note, perhaps there are just too many opinions from the west as to what Israel should do and not do. They are caught in a situation where they cannot possibly please anyone due to the torrent of opinions besetting them. Israel must get back to the toughness of the old Likud party that did not want interference in their affairs ( during Carter's presidency). From Carter to the present administration, the road map for peace has always been land give-away (for peace) and appeasement. All have failed and Israel is still under 24-7 threats from terrorists. It was that toughness that made a peace treaty with Egypt, and it has lasted.

I can understand why it is important for Israel to retrieve the bodies of those two soldiers ( true Heroes),for it will give them closure for the war venture in Lebanon. I can never understand why they left the job undone, but I believe that it is because of OPINIONS flowing from the West.

As for Samir the monster, may he be forever looking over his evil shoulders looking for the israeli rocket that will send him to the hell he deserves, and the belated justice for Danny and Einat.

It must stick in the craw of all Israelis to have to release this monster, that is how I felt on the day of 911. patience will have its reward, and justice will have its day. Israel has many many friends and they are not Govts. peace..
