Reader comment on item: U.S. to Israel: Do As We Say ...

Why isn't Israel allowed to act in a way we would in a similar situation? If we feel justified with how we dealt with the Taliban, why don't we just encourage Israel to do the same?

It's not as if they haven't tried the 'peace treaty route' many times before. As many times as it's been tried it hasn't worked. Enough is enough. Let Israel defend herself and get rid of people who want to wipe her out.
