>>But presumably collective punishment is cool now.<<

No, it's not cool. I abhor it. I think it is a violation of fundamental human rights.

My statements about Israel's policy towards Palestine are simple observations of objectively verifiable facts.

The children of Palestine will not know peace until they stop the suicide bombers. Israel will not tolerate it.

Nobody would.

It's counter-productive. Unfortunately, the Palestinians have deluded themselves into thinking that it will work, so getting them to stop it will be very hard.

I also believe that Israel will have to dismantle most, perhaps all, of the settlements, but as I posted this morning, that will be very hard to do.

The answers are easy, but getting there is not.
