Alan Dershowitz on why Israel must never compromise on security. It is extraordinary that it must be explained to "progressives" in the West how wars are fought across the Muslim Middle East and always have been. To attempt to explain what is in front of their noses is to risk denunciation as a racist.
Israel unilaterally withdraw from Judea and Samaria without even so much as a promise of peace? Ethnically cleanse her own population at the command of human rights groups and spiteful little European countries dripping with malice who simply can not get their minds around the concept that human rights is an universal notion and does not exclude Jews.
Only a Western "progressive" could even imagine this. Their motives for campaigning for it are likely even more disgusting than they appear. Among other vile moral perversions they must enjoy war. There can be no other explanation. We know for certain that its not because they give a damn about the "Palestinians". That is a lie for sure.

Fareed Zakaria explained why neither side in the Syrian conflict is likely to surrender:
“People fight to the end because they know that losers in such wars get killed or ‘ethnically cleansed.’”
In this kind of war the words “ethnically cleansed” do not mean displaced or made refugees. They mean, as Zakaria further explained,massacred:
“Then you have phase 2, which is the massacre of the Alawites, the 14 percent of Syria that has ruled and that will be a bloodbath.”
Nor will the massacres and bloodbaths be limited to combatants, or even civilian officials, if the past is any indication. Babies, women, the elderly and everyone else will become targets of the vengeful blood lust. Already somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 Syrians have been killed, the vast majority of them civilians. According to United Nations investigators, some have been killed by chemical weapons and thermobaric bombs (that suck the oxygen out of the lungs of everyone in the area.) There have been at least 17 massacres between mid-January and mid-May of this year alone. And there is no sign that the bloodshed is abating. Whether the death toll is closer to 80,000 or 100,000, this figure is more than all the people killed in nearly a century of conflict between Israel and its enemies —a conflict that includes half a dozen wars and thousands of acts of terrorism and reprisals.
Even if one credits the worst allegations against the nation state of the Jewish people, Israel has killed fewer civilians since it came into existence 65 years ago than any country in history facing comparable threats over so long a timeframe. The world seems unaware of this remarkable fact because the media and international organizations focus far more on Arab and Muslim deaths caused by Israel than on those caused by fellow Arabs and Muslims.
Neither is Syria the first bloody battleground on which Arabs have massacred Arabs and Muslims have massacred Muslims. Black September in Jordan, the protracted war between Iran and Iraq, the civil war in Lebanon, and the killings in post-Saddam Iraq are only some of the bloodiest battles that resulted in many thousands of civilian deaths.
Imagine then what would happen if Israel were ever to lose a war with its Arab and Muslim enemies (as it almost did when it was attacked on Yom Kippur in 1973 by the Egyptian and Syrian armies.)
