The writer concludes that there is ultimately very little that can be done to counter terror bombers, that they have tremendous support in even moderate Palestinian populations because they cheaply and effectively counter Israeli military advantages, and that the only way to deal with the terrorist bombers is to engage in negotiations

I was sorry to see a member of the IDF add their voice to the counsels of surrender. There is no rational reason to believe that negotiating with the PA under terror would bring a decrease in terror no matter what was offered. If you say, but they will have territory, a new state, to protect, then I would answer, that was the rationale with Oslo too. The PA is not running a rational polity and what Israel can offer -- a state -- turns out to be quite far down its list of demands. They are gunning for victory or bust. Israeli surrender would only bring on the next round of fighting, as we see in Lebanon.
