Personally, I feel for the Israelis - and I can understand why they would want to do some of the things they do. Particularly, I can understand why the Israeli citizens might want to do some of these things to get a sense of revenge for the terrorist attacks that occur there. I have to somewhat agree with roach though - I don't understand the long-term objective of these attacks. Frankly, I don't understand the long-term objectives of many aspects of the situation going on in Israel, save that both sides are trying to hang on and kill some of the other side while they are at it. Unless Israel is going in raw-dog to obliterate the Palestinians here, then I can't see that they will do anything but make their situation more difficult in the coming years. Arrgh...the whole situation makes my head hurt. I hate to say it, but at the present time I think if you are a Jew (or other persuasion) and you decide you want to live in Israel...well, you're going to have to accept that some level of violence is a part of your life. That position may not be ideal, but then again - the political and religious situation in that part of the world isn't really any surprise.
