Rules of Engagement VI: Israel pt. 2

I normally make it a policy not to repeat the stuff that Andrew Sullivan posts simply because if you're on the web, you should be reading Andrew Sullivan, but until you read this sentence, you don't truly understand Israel today:

"Beat them up, not once but repeatedly, beat them up so it hurts so badly, until it’s unbearable."

That's Prime Minister Netenyahu in 2001 describing his approach to Palestine. Or how about his view on the Oslo Accords:

"Why is that important? Because from that moment on I stopped the Oslo Accords."

Silly Netenyahu, don't you remember how it was all Arafat's fault?
