When one side gets a better gun.
The other side gets better armor
which leads to one side to get a better gun
and the opposing to get better armor.
Clean cut, not the way it is, but it serves as an example of the Israeli mindset.
As you know, Israel is going down the war path again, invading Lebanon and attacking the Gaza Strip. While I think it's over reacting with just 2-3 captured soldiers, I believe that in the state Israel is in right now, it is understandable.
You see, Israel is in a powdered keg. Every country around that area hates the Israeli's, and Israel knows about it. Likewise, Israel is willing to attack at any given moment. Any reason is a good reason for the Israeli's to cripple the opponents military, and they will take that reason.
So we ask the question, "Why can't we get along." The answer is back with my gun/armor example. As Israel has the best equipped, best trained military, every country around it feels threatened. So they start building up their military. Israel gets nervous, starts calling for defcom whatever. The other countries start mobalizing their military. Israel hits them with an air strike, crippling their military. The arabs start bitching about it. It's been going this way for some time now. And Israel isn't willing to step down from that position.
Like the old saying, "If you can't beat them, join them." If the arab states stopped pointing their stuff towards Israel, the Israeli's would also let down. This will take time, but the Israeli's need to see that you are no longer a threat. The same goes to the Palestinians. Put down your Quassam rockets, but down your opens, and just sit in the corner for a while. You bitch about how Israel puts curfews on you, but that's because all you do is attack Israel during the night. If you want that curfew lifted, get off the streets during the night. For the lack of better terms, START BEHAVING.
The arab countries around them, start using your brains. Give Israel their demands. Don't make rockets and point them at Israel. And please...PLEASE don't make nuclear weapons. Why? The Israeli's have working ones, and they're all open to using them before you do. Both sides are at fault for the feedback loop, but the Arabs and palestinians should be the ones ending it. You may say I think this way is because I live in a jewish community, but the fact of the matter is, THEY CAN KICK YOUR ASS.

The problem is that the Muslim countries do not want to live peacefully with Israel; they want it destroyed. No matter what Israel does, the Muslim countries will act aggressively, and look for a chance to wipe them from the face of the earth. You cannot reason with people like that.
Israel has been contending with mucho rocket attacks for many months now which just got a few blurbs in the press. They finally had enough after Hezbollah began abducting some of their soldiers. I thought it over reacting at first too.
How would the USA, Britain, France(don't know about them), Russia...etc react if another nation began abducting their soldiers? How would US citizens react if missiles were being shot at civilians on a daily basis? It is easy to just ask everyone to just get along. Israelis would love peace. Their neighbors appear to want piece, like a piece of the whole small country of Israel.
We know what the US would do. The same thing they did with the Black Hawk Down incident.
"Give him back. Or else."
I have my cnn on, my popcorn microwaved and my washington post ready, bring on WW3, real must see tv.
actually my princeton review teacher said that 20 years from now, we'll look back and realize we missed world war 3.
Gee Candice. Delete comments much?
Israel is walking the middle line right now, which I believe doesn't do anything. It's either strict pacification, or total war. While the other countries say Israel is doing total war, they're not using it at a wide of enough scale.
This may become the start of World War 3, because if the Middle East goes up in flames (Iran and Syria), larger countries will try to move in and secure a source of oil.
