An American Zionist Weighs In On The War

I understand what Sam wants. It is rather simple: destroy Hezbollah, so they would stop killing Israelis now. This will bring peace now. Who know what will happen in a few years.

I do not understand what Walter wants. His heart bleeds for Jews and Arabs. I wonder if his heart bleeds for Germans who were killed by RAF bombings in WWII. If it does I would be worried about his heart.

On a factual note, 35 children killed by Israel in Qana. This is Arab math. The latest estimates put the number at 28 total: all women and children. Where were the men? Was it a controlled explosion by Hezbollah? Why blame the Jews first, John? As a person, who deals with the news on full-time basis you should be better prepared with the fact. Please, edit that paragraph.

And finally, "To accomplish that means evincing a spirit of reconciliation and willingness to cooperate with moderate Palestinians and Arabs; it means showing respect for Arab culture and the Islamic faith, and it means negotiating with the Palestinians for a solution however difficult that may be, rather than trying to impose our own conditions and borders unilaterally." Only a naive (well meaning) from New Jersey may talk like this. We the Russian Jews think outside of the box, and distinguish good from evil. And I’m proud to say that in the conflict between Arabs and Jews, Jews are good. If you do not see this, you do not love Jews and you have no moral clarity.

Destroy radicals, give moderates a chance. With radicals at the helm, moderates have no chance even to survive.
