Illnesses manifests themselves in a series of symptoms, some of which can be rather painful.
However, treating the symptoms can turn into a deadly cure , for it ignores the real, and maybe deadly, illness. A patient suffering from a brain tumor who takes headache pills to alleviate his suffering will actually kill himself because he does not treat the tumor. Leaders in Israel and their allies throughout the world could draw valuable and life-saving lessons from this analogy. Following the strongest bomb attack against Israel since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising, Israel and its Western allies availed the chance and treated the situation as a security issue. The Jerusalem Post quoted the Israeli cabinet s 2 June statement, The Israeli government has determined that the Palestinian Authority and Chairman Arafat are engaged in terrorist activity, encourage it, and are inciting to hatred and violence.
