Is Israel Worth the Cost? ( Archived) (164)

I can't say that I don't approve of Israel's "Right to Exist". Indeed, saying that any nation does not have that right, would be a foolish statement.

I can say, however, that they have a piss poor way of treating their neighbours! Neegotiations always work better than a "Big Stick", and 'collateral damage', is just a sanitized term for murder.

There is no denying, either, that Isreal has a right to protect it's country, but, when 'defense' comes to mean aggression, the time to get to the table is at hand!

The Isrealis have ignored UN resolutions, time after time, much like the US is doing now. They also have a knack of snubbing the 'World Community', when it serves their purpose.

There has never been a time that negotiations have killed more people than tanks and rockets..And, talks are what will make the bloodshed cease..

If Only
By Bobby7

If only I could write a poem that everyone could read,
Then I’d know, within my deepest heart, that I’d done well, indeed.

If only I could write a poem that would bring the whole world peace,
Make us brothers; make us sisters and make the bloodshed cease.

If only I could write a poem that would melt the hardest heart,
And tear down all the fences that are keeping us apart.

If only I could write a poem that would lift a troubled soul,
Then I would reap a bounty that’s more precious than pure gold.

If only I could write a poem that would cause an eye to tear,
And let my brothers and my sisters pass through life without a fear.

If only I could write a poem that would let all see the sun,
Then, I’d gladly put away my pen. For I’d know my work was done.

Lets 'fight' for peace, before there is nothing left to fight for..

I share the wish, Bobby7. Nice song, great sentiments. Maybe some day, eh?
