For decades, Israel’s enemies made no pretense of desiring peace with the Jewish state, and instead attempted at every opportunity to destroy the nation militarily.

When it became clear that that was not going to happen, at least not under present circumstances, the Arab nations turned to diplomacy, albeit in a relatively hostile manner, to achieve their aims.

Israel on Wednesday went one step further in making good on its promise to, yet again, sacrifice its own security for the sake of Arab “dignity” by easing airport security checks on the one group of people capable of mass-murdering airline passengers: Arab Muslims.
