| The centrepiece of his argument is this: "As though Israel were a threat to any but the savages who constantly attack it." Who launched an invasion of Lebanon in in 2006 in response to an incursion across the border? Who launched an invasion of Lebanon in 1982 in response to provocations across the border? Who launched an invasion of Egypt and Syria in 1967 in response to provocations across the border? Who launched an invasion of Egypt in 1956 in response to an argument over the ownership of the Suez Canal? In response, I can see one example of arabs invading Israel - 1948 - and one example of arabs attacking Israel to *regain* their own land back from Israeli occupation - 1973. Did I forgot any? Coz` it sure looks like a pattern of gross Israeli OVERREACTION to provocations from the neighbors. Which, of course, is precisely the sort of behavior you don`t want from a country armed with nukes. |
