The main motivation for most Palestinian suicide bombers is the financial payoff that their family receives. So Scumbria, from your post, I would be right in concluding that you agree with the slogan "It is economy stupid" In other words, it is not a firm conviction in the hatred of Israel but rather poverty and the desire to make money. Having said that, we the civilized world have several ways of dealing with that. One is take their families hostage and kill them somewhat the justification for Gadaffi's daughter being killed. The other is to pay them not to become suicide bombers and achieving the same results anyway. Which one do you think is a more civilized approach. Extending that line of thought, is it because the US pays all that huge sum to Israel and Egypt that they have that clout in those countries? Then why not do the same with the Palestenians? And to add insult to injury, we criticize the Saudis for their telelthon not realizing that the telethon is raising money to pay the poor Palestenian families so that they do not have to go to Hamas or other radical elements for the money. Something to think about on what you said.
