Israel & Its Victory Problem

Submitted by Adina Kutnicki (United States), Apr 7, 2006 at 15:22

Why is it so hard for people who love Israel to understand that there is NO other option but the path to victory?

Each and every 'concession', each and every peaceful overture has been viewed in the Islamic world as utter weakness and capitulation from the Israeli side. The western world must stop superimposing western ideas onto a jihadist culture. This is exactly why since the bloody 'peace process' began with Oslo in 1993 there have been more dead Jewish civilians than at any other time since 1948. Shouldn't this be a big enough hint as to how they view peace overtures?

There is no doubt that only when they see Israel's leaders gunning (and I do mean that literally) for victory, will the PA population then sue for a real peace.
