A Quote

Also from the book Striking Back....

"The actions and ways of the terrorists are continually evolving. It is our duty to prepare ourselves for the type of war, more than we have been to this day -- methodically, knowledgeably, decisively, and expansively; this is a dangerous and critical task,"

This is from Golda Meir, mind you, in 1972....

The prime minister went on:

"From the blood-drenched history of the Jewish nation, we learn that violence which begins with the murder of Jews, ends with the spread of violence and danger to all people, in all nations."


She ended her speech with:

"We have no choice, but to strike at terrorist organizations wherever we can reach them. That is our obligation to ourselves and to peace. We shall fulfill that obligation undauntedly."


Food for thought, in our times....what has changed? Read that middle section again...and again...and again.
