In Israel minds nobody can ever take advantage of them again, and nobody can be trusted to defend thier homeland except for themselves.

As I said earlier on,
appeasement never works. The world should have found this out when Hitler was building his empire. All the major leaders of the democracized world thought, oh he wont really invade Poland, he wont really march into one country after the other. And nothing was done whatsoever and suddenly the world was in the middle of World War II. Too bad we never learned our lesson back then, you cant try to negotiate with mad people or terrorists and if you think the solution is to stand idly by and things will go away, then you are sadly mistaken.
It is too late to blame when war and invasion has already occurred. People have to step to the forefront early on instead of sticking their heads in the sand.
As my father always said, if you stand idly by when you know something is wrong, then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Who knows what the solution is here, but one thing is for certain. You cant sit back and blame Israel for everything, when they are dealing with and reacting to the acts of terrorists.
