It is often said that if only the Muslims left us to our own devices, we would probably do their work for them.We fail to realize that humanism and beneficence should be reserved for those who would respond in kind, or at least let us be. We fail to understand the crucial difference between compromise and appeasement.Mr. Shoher's thoughts are both shocking and enlightening; there is a compelling logic which is difficult to deny.In short, Israel must strike while the iron is hot.

The post-Zionist young Israeli believes that "it is all our fault. If we hadn't destroyed all those Arab towns in 1947 (when they tried to destroy us), then they wouldn't hate us today." This from a tank soldier who went to Europe because they were going to call up his unit.

Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the LORD. All the rockets and hate-filled talk will only fuel the fire to Armeggedon. Remember the history of the region, Ishmael, the wild man, and Israel, the hard-headed and stiff-necked, man. Whenever we, as a people, only listen to men rather than the God of Israel, it only leads to trouble. Let us heed the words of our brothers before us, by turning to our Maker, first, before we hate our brother. Romans 12:14-21. Remember Israel hasn't always been the Goliath, in the land of Canaan.
