That is a stretch John. It is overreaching in an attempt to make your
point. She says she is Jewish. She says she supports Jewish survival. She
says she supports survival of Israel because there are 6 million Jews in
Israel. I dislike American policies also but I certainly do not suggest
that Americans should be "driven into the sea" which is what the Arab
opposition wants to do in Israel. When they denounce those intentions by
changing their charter it might be a good time to make some very decent
concessions but to hand over the keys to someone, who says they want to
kill you, who is going to fire mortars, into your homes is not a very
cognitive idea.
