BRAVO! Best message I read so far. That is exactly why Israel and Palestine need peace now more than ever. Palestinians have lost all hope to live which makes their death no different than living. And that's the thing that Israelis need to comprehend deep down inside and exchange whatever land is needed for peace. The current IDF military operations will get Israelis even more into trouble. You can't fight the whole Palestinian group without exterminating all of them. And we know how well that went the last time Mr. H. tried it...

The sad fact is they do have a winner with the homicide bombers. It's very difficult to fight people willing to die so easily

Not if you have enough time to inculcate a cult of martyrdom. The Japanese did not have problems finding kamikazes, for instance. Yet we won in the end.

Remember the Godfather II and Micheal Corleone's comment after witnessing a Cuban suicide bomber? He said it is time to quit this country, can't do battle with people that don't fear death.

I remember. Aside from questions of drawing basic premises from mob movies, remember that Michael Corleone was hardly fighting for his life. He was just looking for a quick profit.
