It is obvious that the politicians are having no trouble competing with each other in making tough statements about how Israel does not want war but will not hesitate to act if needed. All this while rockets continue to fall. It really does not take much courage to make such wishy-washy statements which in the end project nothing but the fact that Israel does not know what to do, limited by two options of act or do nothing. Hamas also has shown its ability to make tough statements in its effort to boost their morale and lower ours. What creative and courageous leaders both sides have!
If either side had a leader who really had guts: not the kind of guts that dare to give free reign to military action and talk tough, but the kind it takes to climb down from their respective high horses and say "Let`s cut out the violence and talk" maybe we`d get somewhere. Right now no one has taken off their blinders to see that. They are too busy talking tough to the enemy. |
