Maybe you can help me with something. What should Israel do to end the terrorism against it?
What should Israel do to end the terrorism against it?
Total occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, use of nuclear weapons, whatever it takes -- as long as the US can steer clear of becoming embroiled in Israel's problems, I really don't care.
This is a question that deserves an answer as it is truly at the heart of the matter. I've come up with a couple solutions after asking myself the same thing a few times. It is sickening to see the news accounts of innocents blown to pieces by martyrs.
Solution 1. Build a wall and throw everyone out who doesn't have your best interests at heart. These interest might include a respect for life, for youth, and a committment toward living in peace. Say good-bye to those that don't pass the smell test and close the gates.
Solution 2. Disavow any connections to any superpowers. Put on your desert camo, head out at night and kill every living thing within a hundred mile radius of your border.
Solution 3. Along with a Palestinian state, petition the U.S. for acceptance into statehood- to be 'ruled' by our set of laws based upon our Constituion and Bill of Rights, relinquishing any claims of national sovereignty. This method is the least bloody and would provide the best guarantee of stopping terrorism. Rights and priviledges would be bestowed to all and this should, in and of itself, end the suicidal attacks and utter disrespect for human life that is taking place today.
What's absent in the 'territory' is a "Great White Chief", someone both parties may look to for a fair resolution of their disputes. Forget the U.N., their track record stinks and they were not founded by men who lived under tyranny and opted for, and thereby designed a system of, government placing individual liberties above all else.
Solution 4. Not much of a solution, just a very loud bang, forget-about-it.
