109. Lowering your sword is one thing, throwing away your shield is another.
The "conciliatory tone" you are so scornful of is in stark contrast to the belligerence of the Likudniks. This casualness about killing leaders is going to come back to haunt us.

It must have cost this man a lot to make the statement he did. Perhaps the only words that would satisfy you are "unconditional surrender"? When this is all over, the Israelis will still have to live with the rest of the world. "A decent respect for the opinions of mankind" is still something to be concerned about.
