The Israeli government should consider removing the Hebron settlements. This would free up a lot of soldiers from a distasteful duty (the settlers are often abusive towards their protectors), demonstrate to the PA and the international community that the GOI is willing to make significant concessions, and serve as a warning to the zealots that they will not be able to disturb the path to peace at will.

Yes, the Palestinians were wrong to toss rocks, but one wonders what would have happened had the settlers been locked in their homes so that a PA officer's funeral procession could pass.

Excuse me, but the settlers have been locked in their homes for two years. They are shot at if they leave their compound and stoned and shot at if they even have a funeral. Perhaps the Arabs should leave seeing how they are the ones causing all the violence.

Just a thought, seeing how all the Arab squatters are living in the Hebron Hills. How about every illegal immigrant Arab that does not have a valid visa or a valid deed to the land they have built houses on gets deported? Is this agreeable to you? You do realize that the majority of them would have to move. Polls show that more than 80% of Arabs currently in Israel came here this generation.

Yes, the Palestinians were wrong to toss rocks ...

You understand that a way that people are *killer* is by *stoning* them, right? Stoning is not throwing pebbles. It's throwing stones that crack bones and crush skulls. It's not a petty thing. Goliath was felled with a stone. The first Christian martyr was stoned to death. Etc....

Your "one size fits all Peace Plan" always involves the ethnic cleansing of Jews from whatever neighborhood they have been the victims of terror attacks.

Oh yeah. Concessions to terrorists is always a good suggestion.

One wonders what those "settlers" are doing in the middle of Palestinian population? They are full of hatred and fanaticism. Their objective is to humilate and provoke Arabs and to prevent any meaningful peaceful solution.
