Quote by: shrike  Israel government obligation towards its citizens is protect them against immediate risks. If there is suicide bomber in the way toward Israeli city or Qussam Launchers are going to hit civilian population. The duty of the government is to take them down. |
The consquences of these attacks are often more suicide bombings and missile attacks. The military can't solve this problem; they haven't solved this problem. On the contrary, it's getting worse.

Quote by: shrike There is no partner on other side. Hamass don't want peace it even want to recognize the Israel right to exist.How can you negotiate with someone that their stated goal is to destroy you? |
Prior to the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, the Egyptians didn't recognize Israel's right to exist either. In fact, it was President Gamal Nasser who coined the phrase "push the Jews into the sea." Nobody thought peace was possible with the Egyptians, until Anwar Sadat traveled to Tel Aviv, shook Begin's hand, and signed a treaty that remains in effect to this very day. Israel has no choice but to negotiate with whomever the Palestinians appoint to represent them. More time and more military action will not produce more love for Israel. It can only get worse--alot worse.

Eventually, Israel will have no choice. The festering Palestinian slums in the Occupied Territories, in Jordan, and in Lebanon are time-bombs for the entire region. America will either lean on Israel to negotiate against her will or sit back as Al Qaeda makes further inroads in those camps. That is an American security concern, not just an Israeli one. You don't have 200 years to wait.
