quote:
Get real, the Israelis have a military on par with large western European countries like Britain, Germany and France, the very idea that they could be defeated by the Arabs combined, never mind the Palestinians alone, is laughable. Most Arab weaponry, even when they have the numbers, are obsolete and useless against the modern weaponry provided by the US to Israel.
So what? The fact that Israel can’t be defeated (which is arguable) is beside the point. They are suffering casualties and have a natural human desire to protect themselves. If your neighbor’s kid is beating the crap out of your kid you don’t say to yourself (I hope), "ah, no worry... he can’t defeat my whole family."
As for the rest, we’re starting to go around in circles. If you want the last word, go ahead but I maintain that – regardless of who you hold responsible, Israel and the United States are not the only one who could change the course of this conflict. The Palestinians can too.
