CT, you keep speaking of the 40's and the 60's - 70's. The political landscape is vastly different, none of it in Israel's favor. Since these great victories for Israel, the US has helped Egypt build it's milatary and Russia has helped Syria grow. Hezballah is believed to be about 250,000 strong and the US has ignored Hezballah's growth while supporting Lebanon. Iraq will not directly get involved in supporting any military action against Israel because that would serve the US in it's interests to attck Iraq in the worlds view. Iran is a non player, there military is week and it's government is broke.

And it is sad to say but I must agree with AM, nobody supports Arafat here. However he is the leader of the Palestinians and must be dealt with as their leader. I believe the question is still, If Israel continues to deny Palestine it's right to be an independent state, therefore having no military can we fault the Palestinians for fighting for their freedom? We can all agree that nobody wants to see innocent civilians die. It is sad to see people that feel the only way they could be free someday is to blow themselves up. The Palestinians do deserve to be like anyone else, free. Freedom does not mean under the rule and watchful eye of a government that is completely fundamentaly different then they are.

Peace.
