Quote:The King David Hotel Bombings was considered terrorist attacks. Israelis perfected car bombs....if that's the correct way to say that. Setting off a bomb then waiting for rescuers before setting off a second bomb was a tactic used by future prime ministers and other leaders of Israel.

Absolutely both sides have skeletons in their closets and taught to hate. Even recent building on land claimed by the Palestinians is keeping the area unstable.

Sadly, if a child sees his family killed by a bomb...whether a car bomb or an Israeli fighter jet, it doesn't take much to cop an attitude.

 

  Britain didn't live up to the Balfour Declaration and other commitments they made to give the Jews a homeland.   Even after the Holocaust,  the British tried to prevent the state of Israel.  Much like America dealt with British tyranny in the 18th Century,  the Jews fought back to win their independence from Britain.

 

  I'll say this though.   As much as I detest the Arab terrorists and their supporters,  I blame the present and most past Israeli governments for not telling the truth that ' Palestine'  in the context its used is a myth.   Part of this is because of appeasement.   They want to try to satisfy the world.   It's never going to work.  The more you appease,  the more you are expected to give up.   

 

  The so called ' Palestinians'  have violated every agreement they have made with Israel,  including their pledges to renounce terrorism against Israel.  The Oslo Accords come to mind.    I absolutely don't think this is a moral equivalence situation.    One thing I'm confident about is Israel will eventually have a government that understands its enemies and doesn't live in a fantasy land.   The concern on this end is that millions of Israelis might be killed before that happens.  Not to mention,  millions of Americas might be killed as well because of the failed leadership in the United States.
