Someone needs to NUKE the Palestinians. They are terrorists raising more terrorists. They cannot even abide by their own laws. They murder harmless Israeli women and children. Rid the earth of these murderers. (I'm a little short on patience this morning.)

I understand your sentiment; however, I think we need to isolate them first by drying up their sources (i.e., Iraq, Iran, etc.) of weapons, money and support. The more I think about this, the more I think Iran is the place to start. Their imams, mullahs, ayatollahs and other religious riff-raff may be in a less secure position that many think. Secure leaders don't generally behave the way these slugs do (i.e., stage mass rallies to show they're in control.)

"Someone needs to NUKE the Palestinians."

You just don't get it. The main reasons why the Palestinian attackers are doing what the Syrian Air Force and the Egyptian Army failed to - defeat regional-superpower Israel - is that the Palestinians, by "hugging the enemy," are not vulnerable to Israel's advantages. (Who wants to nuke an enemy 300 yds. away? Who will use its fleet of fighter-bombers against frontline combatants - when they are literally so close to major neighborhoods of its own capital that the shrapnel would hit them?)

The other reason why the Palestinian resistance is defeating Israel is that it is now a "leaderless resistance" - something urged a year ago on Palestinians by a Lebanon-based TV station run by Hezbollah that is popular with Palestinians. How do you nuke or use an Apache chopper against an enemy that is very largely unconnected cells of 1-3 Palestinians not reporting to any command structure - but instead ambushes Jews and takes their weapons?

There are lessons here for dissidents in the U.S.

Oh no, you don't understand. If we forced the Israelis to let the Palestinians have Gaza and West Bank for a country, they would simply stop all this nonsense and become peaceful farmers and small businessmen.

At least that's what I've gathered from the influx of anti-Israeli, anti-American posters everywhere on FR this morning.

Of course, they could be wrong, and their plans could wipe out Israel. But the pro-arabs are willing to take that risk I guess.

Aww, shouldn't we try to understand why they are so angry? (sarcasm)

Palestinians fire Kassam-2 rockets from Gaza into Israel

This sentence should read "Palestinian Arabs fire Kassam-2 rockets from Gaza into Israel." There are too many people, Clara Lou, who have already fallen for the Palestinian Arab ploy to using "Palestinian" alone and so engage in reification of that which does not exist. There are no "Palestinians," only Palestinian Arabs, Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Christians, and whichever other religious or ethnic groups live in the geographical region known as Palestine.
