| Dieval, your reasoning is based on the completely untenable view that all this sending in of settlers to occupy confiscated land and grab scarce resources, all this strangling of the economy and making life miserable for huge masses of normal people, is somehow necessary to Israeli security.
It isn't, of course, and implying that the two are connected amounts to a red herring which, I guess, you hope will distract people from the fact that Israel is playing the role of rogue/outlaw state.
What the Red Cross is saying is that bandaids are not solving the problem and that it's time for a serious (yes, serious) political deal.
If Hamas tried to stand in the way of a Real Deal, it would be swept away in an instant.
