| The past two years have been devoted to this still born process, called the peace process. There were elections, there was Annapolis, there were various agreements, there were more envoys than one can remember, there were meetings, there were statements and proposals--but all the while, the Qassams were fired by the dozens, then by the hundreds and by the thousands. We were told that we had to be patient, that Sderot had to be valiant, and her children had to suffer in silence because the world wants the peace process to move along. People have the impudence to tell Israelis that they have to suffer in silence because otherwise the Palestinians will stop cooperating in this non-existent peace process. The world always liked its Jews quiet and pliant. The world, the "civilized" one, would like nothing better than to see the end to this troublesome country of the Jews. They just dare not say it in public. That would be bad form. |
