don't fight for the same ground twice.
Israel would be wise to heed his advice.
It wasn't necessarily a mistake to withdraw. Israel had to, has to, do three things. Choose a line she is prepared to defend. She did that. Secondly, get her people on the safe side of that line, and she did that also.
Now she has to push that line forward, in response to every violation of that line. That third step is absolutely vital. Every attack has to be answered by exacting a price in territory.
Killing your attackers is necessary but ultimately futile, since the arabs have an endless supply of cannon fodder and care nothing about lives damaged or lost. Only land matters to them, so that is the only retaliation that means anything. Every mortar shell, every rocket, every deluded teenager who gets across the line has to be answered by moving the line forward half a kilometer. Any arab residence affected by moving the line should be paid for in cash and bulldozed, and its inhabitants pushed to the far side of the new line.
Israel should never allow itself to be put back in the business of managing arabs. They should be kept on the far side of the line, with the line sealed, and the previous "land for peace" policy with the one-way ratchet has to be reversed. Israel's new policy should be "land for peace" with a one-way ratchet, ratcheting toward Cairo. And Amman. And Damascus. Every attack costs half a kilometer permanently.
Build a wall around it, with no doors. Declare the territory the sovereign state of Palestine. If rockets are launched from the sovereign state of Palestine, the sovereign state of Israel should respond with massive artillary bombardment.
Heck, if I were president, I'd even give them Iraq after doing a little wheeling and dealing on oil. Sure would change the look of that region for the better.
Yes, sounds crazy, I know. And every time I read about innocent people being murdered by those mad islamic dogs, I get crazier. Sorry, can't help it.
There is only one workable solution to the situation. The slammite world has to be forced to find some place in the gigantic swath of territory it owns to put the "palestinians", and that place has to be at least 500 miles from Israel.
More Israeli denial of reality. The Israeli government intends to withdraw from the Old City of Jerusalem and from most of Judea and Samaria. Gaza is inconsequential compared to what's coming next!
