Fighting fire with fire. How do the car bombers like it now that they are targeted in the same despicable manner they target civilians.

I was thinking much the same thing.

What would happen if Israel started targeting innocent Palestinians after every attack against innocent Israeli men, women, and children? Don't give me the easy answer. LOL. I mean besides the world-wide outrage of the liberal press.

Let's say Israel told Yasser Arafat that there would be an eye-for-an-eye exchange for every attack against Israeli civilians. You kill twenty of ours, we bomb a school room with twenty students.

No civilized society would ever do such a thing . . . but one has to wonder if it might propel an empowering Palestinian public to do something to stop the outrages inflicted on Israel on a daily basis. The Paleo-terrorist-loving-citizens just stand idly by now . . . when they're not cheering in the streets BUT IF THEY KNEW THEIR CHILDREN WOULD BE KILLED EVERYTIME AN ISRAELI CHILD WAS KILLED one would think they might feel a bit differently.

No, you are completely wrong. There is no power to be had in grasping at evil and it is superstitious stupidity to think so. Right now only unjust men - plenty of them to be sure - support the terrorists. Deliberately target innocent children and a thousand just men will oppose you to. Myself among them. That divides, it does not strengthen you. Fear is only fit for cowards, and the world is not full of cowards but of men. Their conviction to the contrary is why the terrorists are evil and stupid, and widespread agreement with them in practice is why their region of the world is an impotent hellhole.

That is exactly what Arafat would love. Look at the mileage he got out of Jenin (sp?) and Bethlehem a couple of years back. When the Israeli's fight back it give him ammunition for the press war.

Remember the press treats the Iraeli's like Republicans... they twist and turn everything said or done in an attempts to make even good news bad.
