500 murdered in jenin? only 50 killed. there is difference. more than 30 were armed. If we wanted every one dead-we could have used artillery. it would not lead to 23 soldiers dead.
Please notice that while i can understand your disgust with sharon (even if i do not agree with it), sharon is not israel. period. he is one man that decides.
About my insight on things. Our tv is left, totally. And it had shown several real convincing tapes about their lives. they do live horrible under 0 minimal conditions. We must return to them their lands even if we do not want to. They however (now i am talking about the arab countries), must compensate us. why? because when we went from their states (syria, iraq etc) we were not allowed to take our property. if they will return our property, i will consider it fair (and possible) to return to them 100 percent of the territories.
notice that i never said i like sharon too much, he also must go with arafat. trial, and if found guilty than to jail. International trial though, and belgium one.
If arafat wanted peace, he could have long ago disarm evry one there, that needs disarming. Compare by the way how palestinians lived before and after arafat. before was better. So i think it is 2 way street.
By the way why america does not return her own "teritories"? and russia too?
here i will also answer about the wars.
egypt closed the tiran passage to our ships. Besides the violation of international law, it only could mean one thing-war. (22.5.1967) in 29 of may the egyptian soldiers took place of the un slodiers in gaza strip and opened fire on our civilians. In 28 of may iraqi soldiers went to jordan. in 17.5 nacer kicked the un troops away from sinai, and took their place.
Syria said that she will continue to support the terrorristic organization fath, in israel.
I agree that there was a little chance that the war was a bluff. But wwe could think about it only in 1968. After some time. In 1967 it was all to real, and the war was in a high probability to happen. we decided to go blitzkrieg, instead of waiting for them to strike.
The war in 1982 was because that the lebanon government did nothing to prevent terrorrist inflitration to our state. It was like 1956 only in another place. The fact of us staying there was a mistake. we had to pull out at once, or to kill arafat and all of his cronies and then pull out. the second was more preferable.
Remember that in 1967 there was no cause for them to attack us.
