Israel may have to close its borders with the WB. Pull back its settlers. Stop all interaction. No longer permit Palestinians from coming in as a labor source, and learn to do its grunt work on its own. Do you think this will stop the terrorists? How about Hezbolah shooting rockets from Lebanon to Isreal? How is Israel going to stop these kinds of weapons from reaching West Bank and Gaza if they completely give up control? Joe, I think its preferable to suicide bombings.......certainly its more controllable. This is not an argument. I am just asking questions. I know what would work, I described it in my post to Albert: Message 17328494 which is how Germans kept peace in the occupied territories. It was clear to everyone that any act of violence committed against the Germans would be met with an act of violence 1000 times stronger by Germans, so very few people were stupid enough to try it. So outside of the situation with the Jews, German occupied territories were peaceful. That was a different time and a different era. But we live in the media age, which prevents Israel from doing what works, which in turn prolongs the entire conflict. The half assed measures increase, rather than decrease the number of dead and wounded. A different era but it hasn't stopped the Israelis from banning the media from certain areas and attempting to keep them out of the WB completely. Why do you think that is? ted
