To be momentarily less flippant, Israel should secure its borders, of course. It's not exactly the "Pals" fault that Israel has chosen to make that more or less impossible by planting 400k Israelis on the West Bank.


Well, that's a relief. And it's 200K, win. One problem is that the old borders were unsecurable. Another is that a fence (they are building one now) cannot solve this problem. These bombings have been in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, not the settlements. Also, if the problem were settlements, and only settlements, it could have been easily solved. Some Jewish towns planted in between existing Arab towns are not by themselves either the main cause of the problem or insoluble. It's not exactly the "Izzy's" fault that the rest of the Arab world has chosen to fund Hamas and subvert peace negotiations for 55 years. I mean, it's hardly as if the Israelis have relied on might alone and refused to come to the table in all this time.
