Jean,

You hit the nail on the head. Most contributors to this website think in terms of black and white. Israel human rights abusers. We all know that Israel is not squeaky clean. No nation state is. And Israel is no exception. What people don?t seem to catch on to is that all Israelis desire is peace and to live in peace with their neighbors? Israelis don?t hate Palestinians, but they don?t want to be attacked constantly. It?s only the fanatics who are hell-bent on expansionism, that want a greater Israel. Many people who criticize Israel want its destruction as a Jewish State. It?s the Jewish bit that really hooks them.

A message to Nasrallah. Israel didn?t lose the war in Lebanon. They didn?t take off the gloves, but if you threaten Israel enough, the Israeli defense force won?t need to find you.
