Gun Battles
Assasinations
Govt Building Burnings
While civil war erupts among our neighbours we in Israel are enjoying the clearest relative calm in a long time. For months Olmert and Sharon were lambasted for disengagement, blamed for hundreds of rockets falling on Sderot and the unfortunate kidnapping of Gilad Shalit (still to be returned home)
And all the while, the world finds an excuse to blame Israel for this collapse in Palesitinian affairs. Israel was blamed as an occupier and then now blamed for giving them their 'freedom'. Israel was blamed for preventing democracy and is now blamed for giving them democracy.
Its an interesting situation of no-win Israel. Though the reality is that the only no-winners is the Palestinians whow simply want a chance to make something of their lives.
