While U.S. and European leaders, along with area specialists, think tank experts and editorial writers continue to call for a U.S.-brokered “solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, by which is commonly meant the creation of an independent Palestinian homeland, a new terrorist state has suddenly emerged in the Gaza Strip. The forces of Hamas, the majority party in the Palestine Authority wrested control of the territory, an area less than one-tenth the size of Rhode Island, from the numerically superior, U.S.-backed, but outfought Fatah forces after weeks of bloody civil strife.
The Strip, dubbed Hamastan by some pundits, is now firmly under the control of a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Islamic theocracy. This development is a culmination of several decades of naïve and misguided U.S. Middle east policy practiced by a succession of U.S. presidents, each believing he could negotiate in good faith with a Palestinian “partner for peace”.

Unfortunately no one can hear—they are ethically and morally tone deaf, with the additional affliction of being constitutionally, cowards. This means they have no courage. They have no DNA for fortitude and they will and do fold up like cheap suitcases.
Most of those capable of self defense and willing to defend thenselves are active and former military, or are old geezers in their fifties and sixties, like me...
Sorry.
I'm 40, a lifelong civillian, and am fully capable of and willing to defending myself.
My 19 year old son IS active military, though. He's Army Infantry, and honestly loves his work. (At graduation from Basic and AIT, I was there to add the blue braid to his uniform - proudest moment of my life) He's an adept of the martial arts, and a deadly surgeon with any firearm he's using. Shotgun, pistol,, rifle, belt-fed machine gun, doesn't matter. The boy knows how to send the lead wherever it needs to go.
Sorry, I can't help but brag. ;-D
