...December 1992, when Israeli Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin deported 400 Hamas activists, the world reacted with disgust and indignation. Rabin had to revoke this action and allow the Hamas terrorists to return to Israeli soil. In stark contrast, following the recent killing of 23 civilians in a bus explosion in Tel-Aviv, Israel has been granted full international support for its declaration of an all-out assault on Hamas...
...Yehuda (a suburb of Tel-Aviv) was foiled by the Israeli security forces. On December 7, 1992, Hamas activists killed three Israeli reserve soldiers.

...base of the problem lies in the misconception of justice. Justice as it is perceived today is always on the side of the vulnerable and the weak--never on the side that has the power and dares to use it.

Rabin -- on his way to the U.S. for a week -- told reporters that he'll meet with decision-makers...
...Galilee and became the second Arab leader -- after Egypt's President Anwar Sadat -- to visit Israel publicly. Hussein arrived in northern Israel by helicopter, then shook hands with well-wishers and even kissed a baby on the way to three hours of talks with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The King has secretly slipped into Israel over the years for negotiations during periods when the two countries were privately chummy but officially at war. BTW: Sadat, whose visit was also televised, was assassinated in 1981 by Islamic militants opposed to the Egypt-Israel peace treaty.Post your opinion on theInternationalbulletin board...
