'currents of hatred so intense as to sear the souls of those who swim upon them.'

Thomas Sowell invokes the words of Winston Churchill:

"The terrorists have spoken in words and in deeds, including suicide bombers. They have what Churchill once described in the Nazis as 'currents of hatred so intense as to sear the souls of those who swim upon them.'"

For all of those who say "diplomacy must be given a chance" and "we need to understand both sides", I say get your head out of the sand! Hezbollah, and other Arab and Muslim factions have openly stated that they will not cease UNTIL Israel no longer exists. There is no place to compromise with that unyielding position. Israel recently gave up both the Gaza Strip and musch of the West Bank - both demands of the Palestinians - and for that they get what? Missile attacks and kidnappings from Hezbollah. What a trade!
