I write as someone who served loyally in the Israeli army in the mid-1960s and who has never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel within its pre-1967 borders.

It seems like alot more israeli's worldwide are starting to protest the settlements more each day. This could prove to be a very unpopular bombing campaign. Why dont they just stop the settlements and make some peace arrangements with the palestinian people.
