Israel

July 14, 2006 · Posted in Conservatism.ca 

When you extend an olive branch, you don’t expect reasonable people to set it ablaze then attempt to poke your eyes out with the flaming prongs.

Yet, this is exactly what happened to Israel. Unilaterally pull out of disputed regions with no expectation of reward, only a faint hope that such a grand gesture will stop people from relentlessly bombing your country nearly every day.

No such luck. A deal failed. A unilateral grand gesture of peace failed. Clearly the only solutions left are to (a) build more bunkers, and get used to it, or (b) occupy the launch zones indefinitely. If it was my olive branch burning, I would certainly choose option (b).

Until anybody else has some brilliant idea, this is going to continue to go on for a long, long time.

    I had one co-blogger who, unfortunately, had no time to continue to blog. I am very sad about it, and cry often.
