#1 Good. Keep these terrorists imprisoned until after Abbas can get a vote of no confidence passed in order to ensure a collapse of the Hamas coalition government. Israel is doing itself a huge favor. And for fuck's sake, someone keep the jail keys away from Olmert!

#2 NO ... this isn't imperialism ....

If Israel is going to act like jurisdiction over the Palestinian government is legal, how about we go back to a one state solution

one man one vote

#3 Israel tried imperialism already, Mr. Bruce from MS, in 1967-2000, although calling something the size of New Jersey an empire is a bit silly, don't you think? Especially since until 1967 those who now call themselves Palestinians insisted that the one thing they weren't was Palestinians and, waving guns in the air they insisted on being referred to as simply part of the Arab Nation, and legally and by clan ties those in the West Bank were Jordanians, and those in the Gaza Strip were Egyptians. (That's why the worst thing Israel can do to those they arrest is exile them from one of the Territories to the other, where they haven't any relatives.) This is actually a police action instead of all out war. Israel's next step will likely be clearances, a la the English aristocracy in Scotland... although I imagine they'll skip the sheep bit, rather than answering the Palestinians' all-out war with the same.
