Israeli - Palestinian Conflict column

David Limbaugh gets to the heart of the matter here. Here's a quote :

"If a gang of hoodlums attacked you with weapons, and in the process of beating their fannies you were able to confiscate their weapons, would you return those weapons so they could attack you again – especially if you knew that their gang charter required them to continue attacking you until you existed no more?

"Of course you wouldn't, unless you're a complete idiot. So it's a stupid question – a no-brainer – one for which the answer is embarrassingly obvious. Then, why is it, my fellow colleagues in discernment, that half the world apparently fails to grasp it?"

My only problem with this quote is the last sentence. It's not "half the world" that "fails to grasp" the situation the Israelis are in; it's more like 90% of the world. And that's what makes the present situation ever the more unbearable.
