Yeah, like that's the only justification the fanatics can come
up with to attack the west, if Israel was to
be denied any military aid or even somehow razed from
existence it would only provoke them to continue with terrorism
because it provides them with successful results. |
Okay, that's your opinion. And I certainly agree that, as time goes on, Islamic crazies will likely be a bigger problem.
But let's look at some general details:
1. Israel and the massive expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 is not a fiction.
2. Palestinians are second class citizens, with few or no rights at all.
3. Israel tries to justify its illegal fence of apartheid because of Palestinian terrorist reactions (it's by no means unfair to mention Israeli "apartheid," because, unsurprisingly, Israel also supported South African apartheid).
4. Israel is heavily reliant on US military aid (in fact, this aid is the leading cause of Israeli military capacity).
5. Some Israelis have the radical view that Palestinians never existed on "Israeli" soil (a view held by the late Israeli PM Golda Meir, and also a viewpoint which obviously could delay peace forever)
There is another option left to people, one that is not Israel or Islam.
It's simply to put nationalism, religion, terrorism, coercion and elitism aside.
But that's apparently an unthinkable option. Nukes and increased hostilities are the way to go -- so long as the nukes are in "Western" hands (I suppose, the US does know how to use them).
