Your coverage has been accurate, timely, and MUCH needed-- especially since the MSM in America has proven itself totally useless.<BR/><BR/>I just pray no ridiculous cease-fire will take place until Hamas is destroyed. Gilad MUST be at the top of any demands Israel makes. And, as Isaiah and Ezekiel remind us over and over again-- Egypt is NOT a negotiating partner worth trusting.<BR/><BR/>Again- a huge TODAH RABBAH for all you do-- may HaShem bless all the IDF, bloggers, and Israeli citizens, especially those in towns within rocket range, with strength and a complete restoration of body, mind, and spirit. You are fighting for all of us-- therefore all of you are our heroes.<BR/><BR/>Am Yisrael Chai!Shoshanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522023933837085864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-66694227913259245392009-01-15T13:13:00.000+02:002009-01-15T13:13:00.000+02:00where is the article by the italian reporter?We ne...where is the article by the italian reporter?<BR/>We need to publicise thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-16018952870641638832009-01-15T11:56:00.000+02:002009-01-15T11:56:00.000+02:00a live copy of the bbc skit from yesterday after t...a live copy of the bbc skit from yesterday after the original got removed http://www.dailymotion.com/krembo_639/video/x81awt_the-bbc-coverage-of-israel-and-gaza_newsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-88239591091553516182009-01-15T09:36:00.000+02:002009-01-15T09:36:00.000+02:00It's doesn't need to be a war of attrition.

I believed that it was likely to do more harm than good and I said the same things that I said at the start of the recent Lebanon War. <BR/><BR/>Wars of Attrition are worse than no war at all. Olmert and Co do not have the internal righteousness nor the tohar haneshek to be able to be gaon v'nadiv v'achzar. I do not support bloodletting for the sake of bloodletting with no realistic strategic goal. When faced by a mad dog you either retreat or you kill the dog. Israel's leadership does not have the gumption to end the war with its enemies once and for all and so they've chosen to engage in a 60 year long war of attrition where we occasionally kill a few of our foes so that we can feel "as if" we're doing something productive when in fact all that we're doing is simultaneously signalling our weakness and further maddening our foes (and creating more of them, including from among our own).<BR/><BR/>War for its own sake is not the answer. We need to take a long-term strategic look at the viability of the Zionistic enterprise and either choose to deal with the long-term dangers that we face intelligently, immediately and with overwhelming force and finality... or to retreat and sue for peace. This stupid, useless bloodletting has gone on long enough and is disgusting.<BR/><BR/>mnuezmnuezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328856077944673860noreply@blogger.com
