And yes, my role in this triangle was always that of the weapon and I am okay with that. So, I did in a past conflict also the wise thing when weapon use appeared unfitting and asked Israel to moderate when I was party in a dispute. Unlike Stuart, I don't moderate in cases in which I am party. It happened in one case, we got a truce, the truce holds. Because my opponent in this dispute holds on to it and so do I. Because, at the end of the day, we are both men of our word.
However, the Lydiot has in a similar situation already once broken a similar. Not against me. Still, it doesn't help the trust, I would set in such a compromise with Lydiot. See, when I give a word, I keep it. And when I say, I give someone a free space for free speech, I give such a space. And when I step in to defend for example a party lacking the natural ability to aggression (that is an euphemism for Israel is sometimes waaaayyyyy too nice), I do so, no hold back, no secondary motives. Hurt my friends and I will hurt you, not as much as needed but as much as I possibly can. Now the Lydiot will probably compare once more to Hitler me for giving shelter and protection to others, or if it is not that, then he will compare me to Hitler to keep my word, or what confused ideas come up in his mind today ... nobody really knows ... but bottom line is, the Lydiot tried to jump me in the most malignant way and for the second time and he is not the man, in whose word I would put much trust. In so far, I see there not much hope in a truce at this point.
