2. Complete removal of Israeli forces and Jewish settlers from an area does not achieve anything, and merely signals Israeli weakness, inviting escalated terror and aggression from the Arabs.
3. The Hezbollah and the Hamas cannot be defeated with air strikes. There is no effective alternative to ground invasion and ongoing control of the ground.
4. Unless the Israeli military controls the ground on the OTHER side of fences, those fences achieve nothing.

7. Terror is not caused by settlements, but rather by the *removal* of settlements.
8. Terror is not caused by Israeli military occupation, but rather by the *removal *of Israeli military occupation.
9. It is impossible for there to be two sovereign entities between the
10. No matter how many concessions Israel makes, the world will always justify Arab terrorism, because there is always one more capitulation that Israel failed to make (e.g., giving up the "Shebaa Farm" on the Golan Heights)
11. No matter how nice
12. The Israeli Far Left is an openly anti-Semitic movement that seeks
13. The Israeli Labor Party and its Kadima cousin may be more effective at fighting terror, once they decide to do so, than the Likud. The reason is that if the Likud were fighting terror, the Israeli Left would take to the streets in mass demonstrations against Israeli imperialism and aggression, and the leftist Israeli media would declare that 400,000 protesters turned out.

15. The world likes to see Jewish civilians murdered by terrorists and will applaud and justify all such murders as comeuppance for the Jews for being so insensitive.
16. The Israeli Left will oppose every conceivable act of Israeli self-defense, other than total capitulation.
17. Israeli niceness and flexibility fan anti-Semitism.
18. Israel-bashing is nothing more than anti-Semitism and Israel-bashers are increasingly open about their delight at seeing Jewish civilians murdered.
19. Israeli pursuit of the "peace process" has triggered a world-wide storm of anti-Semitism.
20. Terrorists cannot be appeased.
21. Arab terrorists do not morph into statesmen.
22. There are no Palestinian moderates.

32. Those who claim that anti-Zionism is different and distinct from anti-Semitism are anti-Semites.
33. The only people on earth whom the Left believes should be denied the right to self-determination and self-defense are the Jews.
34. "Palestinians" are not a people and never were. They are simply Arabs who happened to migrate into historic
35. The Golan Heights are not "Syrian" and never were.
36. Noam Chomsky is an anti-Semite and Norman Finkelstein is a neo-nazi. People who endorse them are anti-Semites, even if they happen to be Israeli Jews.
37. Israeli politicians are among the stupidest on earth.
38. Israeli leftists never learn from the failures of their policies and "ideas". Every failure is simply because their policies were not applied thoroughly *enough.*

48. One cannot make peace by pretending that war does not exist.
49. One cannot buy off anti-Semites and Islamofascists with trade concessions and subsidies.
50. The only way to stop terrorism is to kill terrorists.
