According to this splendid logic of yours (and I guess Robert will break in
tears agreeing with you the whole day and night if needed), Chad, there
should be no terrorist attacks against Israel already since the Beiruth
strike, in 1969, or even earlier strikes against Jordan. At the time the
Israel was also "showing it" to all the Arabs and all the terrorists that
they "can't escape". (The "long arm of") Israel has also "shown it" to the
terrorists in 1976, and then in 1982, and without respite ever since.

Hm, "strangely", somehow the tempo of terrorist attacks on Israel in the
last 30 years is actually increasing: while the attacks were sporadic -
measured on what is going on in the last three years - through the 1970s and
1980s, and even the first Intifada lasted "only" two years, you now have a
permanent engagement with Hizbollah and Hamas practically ever since 1982,
and the newest Intifada is already three years long.

Man, you guys must feel "confirmed by the history" beyond any doubts now...
no wonder Robert instructs me to "read history books"....

Oh, interesting were also your "1st Class" explanation about my "critique",
and then that comparission between the al-Qaida and the Palestinian
terrorists.

I must say I'm almost lacking words of response to these "powerful"
arguments: I find it amazing that it is a confirmation that I'm a
terrorist-supporter if I conclude something else but you, because this is
"critique", and critique is a crime and means support for terrorists?

I guess, as next I'll be declared for a Nazi...

That's is not funny any mo it is silly.
