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.
Occassion missile attacks? What are you smoking? It is daily and numerous. Just like I said it is illogical to expect them to endure such attacks.

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.
I saw the movie and enjoyed it. Small item out of the big picture. The point is, if the British sat idle, then the attacks would keep coming.
