Reply #69: Israeli leaders should asked one very simple question again and again:

[Joe Chi Minh]

How much physical oppression can any people be expected to endure, before they conclude that a real threat of death in defiance of it, is preferable to passive acceptance of it. Don't let them change the subject. Keep repeating it, for as long as they domineer the Palestinians with such merciless ruthless cruelty. They should be allowed their own sovereign state.

I don't think it is an Israeli security problem. It seems to me to be the routine "entrepreneurialism" of the Israeli-US military-industrial complex. They can't take on the big guys like Russia and China, so, like the predators of the animal kingdom, they concentrate on the weakened and the afflicted.
