Israel Knows the Price of Weakness
(Telegraph-UK) Dan Hodges - People may not like the current Israeli assault on Gaza, but please, let's not pretend we don't understand it. The threat of annihilation is not an historical abstraction to the people of Israel. It was the reason for the formation of that state. The Jews of Israel learned in the most barbaric way imaginable that the price of being too strong is not as high as the price of being too weak. The images of what is happening in Gaza may sear our consciences. But when the Jews of Israel say "never again," they mean it. The writer is a former British Labour Party and trade union official.
