Reader comment on item: When Israel Stood Up to Washington [in 1981]

Submitted by Rebecca Moulds (United States), Apr 6, 2010 at 18:06

Israel is a proud nation and has every reason to be. However, with a leader like Benjamin Netanyahu, who seems to blow hot and cold, where is its backbone? Ariel Sharon's statement, "Israel will fight terrorism," sounds great, but were they only words? It's time that Israel stood up for herself and did the right thing, without the interference from outside forces, including the United States.
