Those of us who root for Israel are still waiting to exhale.
Where's the headline that tells us that Israel has delivered a knockout punch? We search for it on Fox, MSNBC, even CNN, and certainly in our local and national newspapers, but it just won't give. The bad news keeps on coming. Israel is being scorched by rockets and missiles and the IDF is fighting gallantly, but not as swiftly and as decisively as in the past.
We got spoiled in 1948, 1967, 1973 - wars with a beginning, a middle and an end. Entebbe marked Israel as a nation of heroes.
What happened?
My guess is that the magic left Israel the moment Yitzchak Rabin shook the hand of Yasser Arafat. From there, Israel learned retreat and defeat. Or rather, Israel's leaders conditioned the people to accept passivity and humiliation, all for the illusion of a "peace process."
Call it, rather, a softening-up process, whereby Israel has been drowsed by the lullabies of its rulers.
Ehud Barak pulled the IDF out of Lebanon in what the Arab world perceived as panic. Hizbullah moved in.
The same panic motivated the regime of Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert to flee from Gaza; and Hamas moved in.
These leaders (or their proxies), from Rabin onward, must answer for every Israeli life that's been lost as they, these leaders, went whoring after peace. Rabin, Barak, Binyamin Netanyahu, Sharon, Olmert, Shimon Peres - all must explain how it has come to this; this day when Israel is vulnerable to thousands of rocket attacks. Where were they when those underground tunnels were being built? Most were busy slandering religious Israelis.
