Israel's "Yo-Yo Peace"

The State of Israel is actually in a state of war with the Arab terrorists whose aim is our destruction. For the past few years, basically ever since the horrendous disasterly mistake of Disengagement, we keep yo-yoing between suffering from terror and rocket attacks, a period of retaliation, ceasefire and then it starts all over again.  It's like a yo yo dieter who gets the weight off and then puts it back on. Each time the "slim" period gets shorter, and that is very similar to what Israel has been suffering through. All of the experts say that yo-yo dieting is the least healthy thing to do. That sort of weight fluctuation puts terrible strain on the body. It's better to keep a steady weight which is a bit more than the yo-yo's lowest than yo-yo.

I know of people who have regained their weight even after having weight-loss surgery. And that is so much like the cycle  we're going through with Hamas.

I lost over 15 kilo, over thirty pounds a number of years ago, and I've kept it off. It's an effort, but to succeed you have to understand why and how you put the weight on. I've also done some diet couching and I've discovered that most people aren't willing to work out their own personal method. That's why they fail.

The big problem Israel has has been defining the problem with Hamas, Fatah and the others against us. It's a terrible mistake to use the word "sichsuch," "disagreement" or "squabble." We and the Arabs aren't squabbling over some land that should be shared, equally divided or whatever playground-type solution people keep recommending.

The problem between us and the Arabs and Arab terrorists is a lot more serious. They want to destroy us, to supplant, replace us. It's that simple and that impossible to solve with simple mediation or negotiations. The Arabs don't want a State of Israel any place in the world.

So the solution is "simple." Either we cooperate with out own destruction, such as facilitating the establishment of a new country called "Palestine," or we fight them until they surrender.
