wbmw, Yes, as soon as the terrorists target any of the Israeli high tech companies, such as Intel, it could make problems. Of course these areas are well protected, but no protection is perfect, and an assault on a high tech place might be on their list of things to do this week. certainly suicide bombings have been a failure at getting results, in fact the law of unintended consequences might be activated as Israel makes permanent barriers to keep certain populations out of certain areas. If the terrorists can only bomb their own populations it will cause a backlash from those populations. Right now those populations give support to the actions in private while naysaying them in public. I would not expect Intel relocate, instead they will upgrade their security. The problem is long range attacks by SCUDs, or other shorter range G2G missiles that are hard to defend against, even though they are not accurate, if enough are launched they might score some critical hits.
