Thank you for enlightening us, dear Swiss Dino. Jewish and Israeli targets were always attacked, even before the 1967 Six-Day-War. Maybe you`re too young to remember that Swissair plane bound for Tel Aviv crashing midair near Wuerelingen in 1970, to cite something close to your home. Even after a peace settlement there will be extremist elements who will use violence. And don`t expect Israelis to negotiate with groups like Hamas who don`t want to acknowledge our right to exist as a State. Borders can be moved and should be moved to accomodate both parties` concerns but regretfully, as far as we here in Israel are concerned, there`s nobody to talk to on the other side of the fence.
