(Calgary Sun) - Paul Jackson Today, fully 55 years after Israel regained its statehood, the nation is still under the same kind of siege as it was when David Ben-Gurion declared its independence. That the Israelis want peace is undeniable. That many Palestinian leaders and many Arab leaders do not want to see Israel survive is also undeniable. Why the world doesn't see these two equations - one positive, one negative - and assess them fairly is beyond explanation. The so-called occupied lands were captured by Israel solely as a result of wars and invasions instigated by Arab nations. Now, if a nation ruthlessly invades another nation and then is forced back by its courageous defenders, should the aggressor escape scot-free? Surely it has to pay a penalty, if only as a deterrence against another attack. These slivers of land now rightfully belong to Israel. From David Ben-Gurion to Yitzhak Rabin to Benjamin Netanyahu to Ariel Sharon, Israelis have continuously struggled for peace. If only Israel's enemies had the same ideals. 2003-07-07 00:00:00Full Article
