Who cares if the Jihadis destroy Israel, it's not in our short-sighted, short-term interests to stand up to them.

@ Thom

Yep, you are right. Who cares? Isreal shall comes crashing down just like South Africa. One secular state for all.

If Israelis do not wish to co-exist with others, then they are welcome to move back to whatever countries they moved from and into Israel. In hindshight, daul citizenship by Israel seems like a good idea. Anyone who cannot fathom to live along with the Palestinians in a secular state can pack their bags and immigrate back to where they once crame from.

I've been paying attention to this conflict for the past 12 years. In the beginning, I used to tell myself that most Israelis were good people, and that I wanted what was best for both Israelis and the Palestinians, a two-state solution.

Over the past 10 years in which more and more Israeli barbarism has been disclosed, I find myself understanding that most Israelis and most of its supporters are not good people.
