>>Should Israel punish all the palestinians since the majority support suicide bombing?<<

To answer this, you have to consider the "Ten Men Conundrum."

Here's how it goes:

You are walking with your family down a street, and ten men are coming towards you. Of these, three mean to kill both you and your family members as soon as they get close enough. You don't know which three. The other seven mean you no harm, although they don't plan to take any action to help you, either.

You have strong tear gas which could stop them, provided you spray them all. One of the ten men is an asthmatic, and may die if sprayed. You don't know which one. It is possible that he is among the ones who mean you no harm.

You must act now to save the HDL Family. What do you do?
