Agence France Presse (AFP)
"Israel mulls toughening"
Israel's policy is indeed "Wipe them out, and then we won't have to worry about their rights and all that sort of thing anymore." That was the US policy in Vietnam too, to literally try to wipe them out. And if it hadn't been for world opinion, they would have. But the world was horrified at the things the US did there. And that's exactly what is happening now to Israel. The same thing that happened to the US in Vietnam is now beginning to turn the tide of world opinion totally against Israel. Israel is being exposed. She has no idea of evacuating any lands but is going to gobble up more. Read it in the papers. Rather than give the Palestinians just a little bit of land, their own land, they'd rather fight and die.Pride and greed. They don't want to have to admit that the land belongs to the Palestinians and they aren't willing to share it with them - think of it!
