Shahar Ilan : We have learned nothing
Talkback
Title:to Zev #1

City: Beer-ShevaState: Israel
"what did you learn from all of the men women and children
killed by the Palestinians?"
(Zev to Shahar Ilan - presumably)

I don`t know about him, but what too many of us have still
to learn is that no people who lords over another one
is master of himself.

That there can be no definitive military solution when an Army
clashes, not with another army, but with a foreign and
stateless people. That what Great Britain, France and the US
have already learned a long time ago, we Israelis, supposedly clever
people, have yet to understand.

And that it was pure folly to believe that the territories
we captured in June `67 were our genuine possession, and we were
entitled, as if by some natural right, to settle there, hoping like
half-witted that their inhabitants would consent to stay
forever our silent and obedient subjects.
