At least someone remembers how appeasing terrorism just garners more of it. Israel must treat the Hamas-run Gaza Strip as an "enemy entity" and should "disengage" from providing water, electricity and other supplies to the volatile coastal strip where an estimated 1.4 million people live. Finally, someone with enough courage to hold the Palestinians in Gaza responsible for electing Hamas. As 'moose, others and myself have noted, the only "land for peace" deal that's ever going to work is one that involves permanently confiscating more Palestinian territory with every single attack they make upon Israel. The Palestinians must be made to watch in horror as their terrorists erode the small footprint that they already have. Attaching a physical penalty to terrorism is the only functional approach. |
