It is unfair and illogical to expect a group of people to stand idle when they are getting attacked.:rolleyes::
When Israel attacks, they kill civilians and make more terrorists. It's counterproductive. We've seen the Israelis attack the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank year after year after year. Has it produced more moderate Palestinians? What has Israel gained for all its military muscle flexing--"security?"

Israel must return to the bargaining table and hammer out a comprehensive peace settlement EVEN WITH the occasional missile attacks on its borders. To expect cooler heads to prevail over time is simply fantasy. Temporarily move the settlements further from the border if they have to. Resume the peace negotiations, now.

What did you British guys do when the IRA was blowing up places? Did you just sit there and say,"Cheerio."
Did you ever see the movie "In the Name of My Father?" Watch it and you'll learn the price Britain and the Irish paid for an overzealous military approach to "The Troubles." In the end, a political solution brought peace. The same end must take place in the Middle East. Israel has no military solution to her vexing Palestinian problem. None.
