And they say, if the fire doesn't stop and the killing of Palestinians doesn't stop, there will be no peace and no peace negotiations. Then what?

And they hold off any prospects for dialogue until they achieve military victory, or its equivalent in terror. Then what?

Best man wins. But Israel, unfortunately, has people like you demanding they cede to terrorist demands. Which, of course, will eventually be to have all the Jews as slaves to Muslim superiority. There's 4 different terrorist organizations demanding 4 different things - how do you deal with that? What's your solution? Their occupation ain't the West Bank and Gaza. Their occupation, is the whole damn thing, as any of them would love to explain to you.

Nicky, I agree that killing the terrorist "spiritual leader" of Hamas may well engender more violence. However, killing the terrorist "spiritual leader" of al-Qaeda may engender more violence as well.

Avoiding outrage is not, IMO, the primary consideration in either of these cases, although of course in the case of bin-Laden the situation is even more outlandish.

Re: Yes, but
 

Exactly right, B-Man: A far higher percentage of Arabs/Palestinians are pro-genocide than are Israelis.

Cyrus to Adios: "You found no fault whatsoever with Israel's assassination of Yassin, not even from the purely practical point of view. You believe that the situation isn't affected whether that guy got killed or not."

Make it a good fence.
