The muderous, bloodthirsty, hate filled Palestinians (and their apologists) are what happens when "dialog" is tried with a true enemy.
Israel should have driven them into the sea decades ago.
But the Israelis, being the kind and generous people they are (and also at the behest of a succession of various US Administrations, and especially the regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001") have again and again turned the other cheek (who has that many cheeks? I count only four), only to have trust abused once again.
Forgiveness has its limits, if the miscreant has no intention of reforming. So a circular firing squad confined within fences (and I am sure Egypt will be building a fence of their own between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula) may be the best solution yet. Keeps them occupied with funerals between shootouts. And reduces the population pressures. In a crude form of the application of Darwinian principles, the survivors will be both sharp of eye and quick to duck. They are the ones who can see a bullet travelling toward them, and manage to dodge it.
I agree. Israel needs to ignore Bush/Rice and just finish the palis off.
They had their chance in 1948... The Israelis offered to take them in. They were Arabs working in Israel, but they took the advice of the surrounding states and chose to become prisoners of their own kind, to remain vagabonds and wanderers at the whim of so many upstart dictators, that it is no wonder at all what they have morphed into over the years. Their anger and frustration, should suddenly turn on other Arab states one at a time until, they are crushed, or the offending states pay the price for their folly.
