(IsraelNN.com) MK Reuven "Ruby" Rivlin wrote Wednesday in a column at Nrg that Israel needed to bomb Gaza civilians in response to the ongoing "Kassam" fire coming from Gaza.
Rivlin thinks Israel should transfer a certain amount of money to the PA so that it can build shelters on the streets of Gaza. At the same time it will build improvised rockets that will resemble the fire power of the PA "Kassam" and "Grad" missiles. Israel will announce that from now on, every time the sirens sound in Sderot, Ashkelon and the Gaza perimeter, identical rockets will fall on the residents of Gaza.
"This response," writes Rivlin, "even if directed at civilians uninvolved in the fighting, is necessary so that they push the terrorists out of their midst and to teach a lesson to the "knights in shining armor of the international court," Rivlin wrote.
No. Push the border back in response to every attack that manages to cross the line. They don’t care about the loss of life, not civilians, and certainly not terrorist lives. They only care about territory, it is only the loss of territory that transmits pain.
The border has to move with each attack. Compensate landowners for the loss of their property, but move the border. It will cause an uproar in the talking shops around the world, but it will only have to move a couple of times before everyone gets the message. The attacks will stop (or the border will keep on moving).
There is no other “road map to peace”. It is “land for peace”, but arab land, not Israeli land. Everyone seems to agree that land-for-peace is the answer, and they are right. They just have the formula reversed.
