Who is intimidating whom?

""These guys are not intimidated by the Israelis," says Timur Goksel, former senior official with the UN peacekeeping force in south Lebanon. "They are ideologically driven and don't have the same responsibilities as a state."" Let me add: this has been a major loss for Israel in the last few years. Arabs in general are no more intimidated by Israel. This factor is more important than the purchase of hundreds of fighter jets by Israel. (thanks FLC)
