Simple solution on how to win the war: For every Jew attacked one thousand arabs are attacked. For every Jew that is murdered one thousand arabs murdered. If you’re worried about world anti-semitism, dont, because this is post-911. Nobody in the civilized world will defend the terrorist marauders.
I suspect that the US-puppet Ohlmert will do nothing as he is told not to do by Condoleeeeeza Rice.
