And, if as you say, the terror will never stop, then why not allow Jews to live as Jews freely in the Land of Israel. <BR/><BR/>Do you feel that it is better to throw a Jew out of his home than to actively and without hesitation fight terror? <BR/><BR/>If we have to live with terror, than I choose to live with it in Gush Katif and the Shomron.Ze'evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991885367120305777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448657.post-1124820515035423582005-08-23T14:08:00.000-04:002005-08-23T14:08:00.000-04:00It seems to me that Israel has spent the last five...It seems to me that Israel has spent the last five years fighting Arab terror, at a large mutual cost in blood. I don't think it will be possible, ever, to completely stop terrorism against Israelis, whether by territorial compromise, the establishment of a Palestinian state, or an even more bloody battle against the terrorist organizations. What I do think is possible is to lessen the number of people attracted to join those organizations, by the establishment of a Palestinian state that will satisfy the aspirations of ordinary Palestinians to a decent life where they can raise their children, and go to work and school peacefully, without being unmercifully harassed by Israeli soldiers and settlers.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626228106192215280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448657.post-1124779256233069562005-08-23T02:40:00.000-04:002005-08-23T02:40:00.000-04:00You write: "17 Israeli soldiers were killed over t...You write: "17 Israeli soldiers were killed over the years defending Netzarim from Palestinian attacks of various kinds. And were all these deaths worth it? I don't think so".<BR/><BR/>Can you define when it is worth it for a soldier (or anyone) to be killed for being a Jew living in the Land / State of Israel? <BR/><BR/>If someone is murdered in Jerusalem, is it worth it? Tel Aviv?<BR/><BR/>Sadly, the Arabs have shown that they are not willing to accept a Jewish presence anywhere in the Land of Israel, and are willing to kill jews everywhere and anywhere to make that point perfectly clear.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, if instead of retreating from terror we would fight it, the Arabs would learn to accept the fact that we aren't going anywhere. Sadly, everytime we retreat, it just gives the oppostie message.Ze'evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991885367120305777noreply@blogger.com
