To KMC1:
A little education for you on Mideast politics.
Before 1948, way before the UN declared that Israel became a country, Arabs killed Jews by the hundreds in early 1900's and especially 1936-1939.
Them came 1948, Arabs commited them selves to kill all the Jews and push them in the sea.
In the 1950's, twice. Egypt told the UN to get out or be killed. Egypt blockaid the Suez cannel and Straits of Hormez threating to destroy any ship that enters or leaves
Israel.
1967, 7 Arab nations unite to destroy the Jews and push them into the sea.
Then again in 1973, Arabs unite to kill the Jews.
1973 - Present. The Arabs used terrorism to kill innocent Israeli and Jewish civiilans all over the world, not just Israel.
What the hell do you think the Israelis should do, sit there and be slaughtered, forget it. The whole Arab/Muslim population are raised to kill Jews, no matter were the Jews live, Israel, USA or Europe. There total being is to kill them.
Carter is a passifist jerk. When our hostages were taken in Iran, he should of held ground with no negoations. Nogation for release only promotes more hostage taking.
