- I would suggest that all those rushing to condemn Israel for
- temporarily removing slightly under 400 Arab terrorists from the
- territories ask themselves a couple of obvious questions.
-
- 1. Do you think that Yitchak Rabin is a fool?
-
- Obviously, he knew that Israel would be condemned for its actions;
- after all, it's always condemned, no matter what it does. Wouldn't he
- have to be a crazy fool to bring this knee-jerk condemnation onto
- Israel if there wasn't a need to do something like this to save
- Israeli lives?
-
- 2. Have you thought about why the terrorists' brethren in Lebanon
- prefer to have them suffer in a no man's land to hosting them for a
- couple of years?
-
- Could it be that some Arabs care more about trying to destroy Israel
- than about their fellow Arabs?
-
- 3. Why has there been virtual silence about the numerous terrorist
- attacks on Israelis, the precipitating factor leading to the
- termporary removals?
-
- 4. What else could Israel have done to protect its citizens? What
- hasn't it tried already?
