"Let Syria show that it's genuinely interested in living with Israel as a peaceful neighbor should live Jacoby said. "Then it will be fine to talk about what to do with the Golan." I'm leery of giving up the Golan for any reason. It remains a strategic north- ern outpost (with panoramic views) and is part of Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel. Jacoby maintained that Israel lost the 2006 Lebanon border war with Hezbollah. He described the loss as a disaster for Israel. He said another war with Hezbollah or its overseer, Iran, is imminent. Israel certainly stumbled to the finish line in that summer 2006 battle, but it did stunt Hezbollah's weapons buildup and did show the Lebanese people that terrorists cannot protect them. It exposed the limits of Hezbollah's arse- nal despite Iran's $200 million annual investment in weapons and Syria's supply of heavy rockets and anti-tank weaponry. The war also heightened the moder- ate Arab states' concern about Iran, cre- ating a climate more conducive to coop- eration among moderate Arabs, Israel and the U.S., according to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. As it marks 60 years of statehood, Israel remains an incredible story of revival and democracy in a part of the world that aims to repel it. Jeff Jacoby caught the dichotomy of Israel well. As he put it: "It's an inspiration for Jews all over the world — an incredible chapter of ancient history brought to life in modern times. Simultaneously, it's this miser- able, unpleasant, exhausting story of enemies who refuse to accept Jews in their neighborhood." By any standard, Israel will need the skills of staying strong, keeping vigilant and countering lies as much in its next 60 years as it has needed over its first 60 years. ❑ Teen2Teen Parenting Columns FIBROMYALGIA. & FATIGUE CENTERS r, Editor Letter from page A5 and more For advertising information call: 248.354.6060 O : I— • LLI I— Z Z O 0 a 11 - Is some conversa- tion with a sworn enemy better than none?
