Ground troops in Gaza. Give me one good reason why this is needed?

Absolutely.  I love peace, I seek peace.. but Oslo?  Ze mitabeid, v'oded milchama ad chormah.  Ze n'mul haRotzeiach.

But I dare not speak such a thing here in English, because people would blast me for things that they do not understand.  It's easy to sit back in America or Europe and reap praise on Oslo... because it is only because sometimes things sound good in concept, but in reality... ze p'lili.

Yup, and now we're reaping the "benefits" of Oslo. The treaties play a big part in what led to this war today.

 

 

I marched against Gush Katif for the same reasons, and I'm really not what you would call a "religious" person.  A lot of my friends are frum, but I support them out of principal (and personal family reasons).

For me, is like the leaders of Israel are saying, "anu namal Aravim l'ratzach al Yahudim".  Israel was feared and respected in '67 because of victory, not by cowering in fear to those you have defeated.  I just don't understand the strategy.  Some people want peace, and others just want to drive you into the sea.  Where is the logic is bowing down before your enemies?  It just doesn't make any sense to me.
