Exactly. What was your point?
That we have no other choice but to stay the only democratic country to rule another people? For how long?

We knew once how to defeat three Arab armies, in six days.
We now had to agree to a cease-fire imposed on us by
a terrorist islamist group, whose name, 21 years ago,
no one had heard.
Can you imagine Arafat forcing a cease-fire on us, from Gaza?
I can`t. Israel is now prisoner of its occupation, forced on us
by our own settlements.

"We are heading downhill towards near-catastrophe. If we go on
living by the sword, we will continue to wallow in the mud
and destroy ourselves."
Yaakov Perry,
former Head of the Shin Bet (1988-1995), in
"Israel on road to ruin, warn former Shin Bet chiefs", Nov 2003.
